Repertoire Help / How to just have all songs in ...
Last post by John - December 16, 2024, 03:15:46 PMHi just joined pro have 8 members in band.
I figured out how to create setlist and added our recordings and lyrics to first setlist.
Im using ios 18 app and also website.
Lets say a band member ( singer maybe ) just wants to play and sing along to all 13 songs in set1.
Options ideas on best way to do this? Can it be setup to start on first song play recording show lyrics and then go to next song etc?
Nice job arlo thanks so much!

Last post by arlo - December 13, 2024, 02:02:16 PMI just added waiting events (events that require a response but you haven't responded) to the iCal feed, with an alert icon at the front of the name. The alert icon appears in the Apple calendar and Google calendar, at least. I also added the text "Waiting For Your Response" to the description text, so that should appear even if the icon doesn't.
You won't see this change until you make some edit to an event, because the iCal feed is cached.
I'll add comments for Accept responses to my wish list.

Last post by Graeme Hague - December 12, 2024, 05:31:03 PMQuote from: arlo on December 09, 2024, 08:41:27 AMYou can try the Delay Recording setting on the Settings > Audio & MIDI page, but that delays the start of the playback (typically, so compensate for a delay in processing MIDI messages) and might not have an effect on what happens after the playback starts.
Maybe other people here can comment on the viability of playing backing tracks over a wireless connection, but to me that seems unnecessarily risky.
Hmm ... not seeing this option, Arlo. Definitely in the latest version? Thanks!

Last post by Chris - December 12, 2024, 01:53:05 AMJust thought about a different approach: would it be possible to simply activate the remarks-field which is currently only available for "Maybe" and "No" also when confirming participation of an event with "Yes"?
Could also be helpful if i.e. I am able to play the gig but already might know that I will be late for the soundcheck.

Last post by Chris - December 11, 2024, 11:24:15 PMHi arlo,
thanks for the immediate Feedback. Background of my request is the following and maybe you have a better idea:
My wife and I play in the same band and therefore both get requested. Sometimes we cannot participate both as one of us needs to stay with our daughter. So we choose "Maybe" for the bandleader to know that he needs to choose. This might take several weeks or months though until the gig is confirmed and the final vocal setup is defined (there are three other vocals in the portfolio as well that might be chosen).
Therefore we hoped to see this possible gig in our calendars while the final lineup has not been chosen yet.
The idea of a prefix in the event name might be an idea as you stated... maybe something like "[MAYBE]"? This would also put more pressure on replying as it looks non-comforting
I totally agree with you that keeping the bandmates waiting is not the way to go but we often have the above scenario (in fact for 6 gigs upcoming next year) so it is not a one-off-situation.
Regards,
Chris

Last post by arlo - December 11, 2024, 01:54:18 PMThis would be possible, but I don't know if it's a good idea. Responding "maybe" to an event leaves an ambiguity to the rest of your band, so BandHelper will keep reminding you to give a definite response. But if you keep ignoring the requests, eventually it will stop reminding you and the status will stay at "maybe" forever. If the event appears on your calendar at that point, you might forget that you never accepted it. But your band leader might assume you're not interested and get a sub for you. Then two keyboard players show up for the same gig. ;-)
When it sends the final reminder, BandHelper could remove you from the event completely so you no longer see it, but I don't know if that's a good idea, either. Or BandHelper could somehow flag the event in the calendar feed as it does in its own interface, but I don't know if that would appear in the other calendar app.
The best scenario is that you would reply to your events promptly and don't leave them in the "maybe" status for long.

Last post by Chris - December 11, 2024, 01:12:18 PMHi arlo,
finally finding the time to catching up with all the updates and your feedback to my posts.
The latest changes in BandHelper added a lot of improvement to the workflow of the bands I am in.
Still, there is one thing I thought would be possible but did not find a hint on it anymore:
When I am currently selecting "Maybe" for an event, it is not showing in my iOS calendar I am syncing my band events to.
This is only the case once I confirm.
Problem about this is that I might forget a pending request when a new one comes in on the same date for a different band as it is not showing in my calendar.
Is there a setting that the calendar feed also shows events I still have selected "Maybe" for?
