Repertoire Help / Re: Order of ticked off songs ...
Last post by arlo - September 30, 2025, 06:16:03 PMQuoteit would be helpful if there was some sort of "show only smart copies" button on the website
I can put that on the wish list.

Repertoire Help / Re: Order of ticked off songs ...
Last post by Insider0203 - September 30, 2025, 06:12:40 PMQuote from: arlo on September 30, 2025, 04:14:37 PMThe use case of filtering out smart copies makes sense. Using the random song button only for set list songs also makes sense (although you can also do that from the Random Song button in the top toolbar of the set list view). I can also see the value of browsing the songs in the set list in alphabetical order rather than set list order. So in the next update, I'll add a Set List tab between Songs and MIDI Presets that limits the search to the songs in the current set list or smart list.
These are great additions Arlo!
If I can make one more related suggestion regarding filtering smart copies: it would be helpful if there was some sort of "show only smart copies" button on the website. There's a "hide smart copies" button but it would be useful to only see smart copies to help clean up the repertoire

Repertoire Help / Re: Play recording from iPad
Last post by arlo - September 30, 2025, 10:13:34 AMYes, on the Mac you can go to Settings > App Control > Add An Action > Recordings > Start/Stop Recording > Layout Actions and then choose a trigger to start the recording with. Then perform that trigger on the iPad to start the recording.

Repertoire Help / Re: ultimate-guitar copy-paste...
Last post by arlo - September 30, 2025, 10:10:57 AMQuoteWhy doesn't clicking once do both things?
Because you might not want to do both things. This gives you the choice of how you want to manage your chords.
QuoteMost setlist apps have integrations which import the song from various websites and convert it to a suitable format directly in the app.
I'm not aware of any lyrics/chords websites that support this, so apps that import content from websites are probably violating their terms of use, and have to work around any obstacles that the websites put up, either intentional or not. It hasn't felt like a smart investment of time for me to try doing that, when copying and pasting is so easy.

Last post by sbp66 - September 30, 2025, 07:56:14 AMHow does one "convert the manually positioned chords to ChordPro"? Manually? That would be tedious and time consuming. Or are you saying that ChordPro button works in two different ways? [EDIT - just tried using the ChordPro button twice and it worked. Why doesn't clicking once do both things?]
I haven't learned a typical and simple way to add a new song to BH. Most setlist apps have integrations which import the song from various websites and convert it to a suitable format directly in the app. Is this planned for BH? What are the common approaches people use to add a ChordPro song to BH? I guess copy paste from UG (say) and use the CP button twice. It is easy enough on desktop, not sure it would work well on a phone.

Repertoire Help / Play recording from iPad
Last post by robertino83 - September 30, 2025, 06:39:08 AMHi everyone, I use my iPad as the master for viewing scores and my MacBook Pro as the slave from which I start audio sequences. The two devices are connected via live sharing, so when I select songs on the iPad, the same thing happens on the MacBook. Is it possible to start and stop recording from the iPad without touching the space bar on the Mac, in my case (because that's how I configured it on the Mac).
Thank you
Thank you

Repertoire Help / Re: Order of ticked off songs ...
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - September 29, 2025, 02:52:05 PMWell, I'm still coming back to my original request. My main aim is to have the proper full setlist after we played it to be able to look at what we played in which order. Maybe it was good or we want to improve or whatever. I just like to have it archived as we played it.
So the current workflow is to prepare a list of songs we want to play and sort them alphabetically. Then during the gig we decide on what we want to play.
From there I will go to edit the setlist and move the song to the current position and so on and so forth. The outcome will be a setlist, that represents the order we've played the songs in.
Initially I asked if it would be possible to use the ticking off of the songs to sort the last ticked song to the bottom or something, then it would already be sorted the way we played in. However, I actually more recently figured out the function of the search, which (with the correct settings enabled as mentioned by Arlo above) can add the song even if it was in the set already.
That would already resolve my use case to have the correct setlist in the end. The nice thing about the search is the suggestion of 3 random songs. So the search function itself would already be what I could use perfectly to create a setlist on the go. But searching just within the active or a dedicated list would ease the process to me in my use case a lot.
The current way of editing the setlist takes way more clicks and takes longer loading times compared to the search or ticking off. That's why I thought it might be possible to "upgrade" either or both of these functions.

Last post by Insider0203 - September 29, 2025, 10:51:44 AMAhh ok, I didn't know that and I must have had that setting on without realizing.
However, I think there's still room for improvement in this search function. Like you were saying, it could be confusing if you have a lot of smart copies or alternate versions of the same songs.
For example, I have the song Mr. Brightside in our repertoire as well as a number of smart copies (Mr. Brightside VERSE CHORUS ONLY). I know Mr. Brightside is in the set but I'm not sure which version. If I search "Mr. Brightside", both versions will come up. If I happen to hit the right one, it will take me to that spot in the set. If I hit the wrong one, it will add it to the set.
Maybe there could be just a simple visual marker to indicate songs that are already in the set. Maybe just small text underneath that says "Set 1, song #1". Similarly, songs that are added multiple times (for reprises) could indicate that they are in the set multiple times already

Last post by arlo - September 29, 2025, 09:30:39 AMIf you search for and select a song that is already in the set list, that existing instance of the song will be selected; it won't be added again. (Unless Settings > General > Insert Duplicate Searched Songs is on, because some people do want it to be added again.)
