I just downloaded Band Helper to see how smooth the transition from Set List Maker would be. The first impression is good but I have a major headache: almost all of the line breaks of my song lyrics seem to get 'lost' in the web interface. To be more concise:
I exported one of my Set List Maker databases and imported the data file into a newly created Band Helper project. After a few minutes the songs appeared in the Band Helper app on my venerable iPad 1. They were displayed correctly, with line breaks and all, just as they had been in the Set List Maker app. When I try to display or edit these songs in the web interface though all the line breaks are gone and the lyrics are compressed into one single block of text.
The funny thing is, when I open the edit window in the web interface the lyrics are displayed correctly for the fraction of a second. After that I see the 'text block', without any line breaks.
I can do a 'fake' edit of the lyrics on my iPad, inserting a space somewhere and deleting it immediately afterwards. That obviously causes some formatting update, because after the next sync the lyrics are displayed correctly in the web interface as well. This works only in one direction, because when I do such a fake edit on the lyrics 'text block' in the web interface, the next sync destroys the formatting in the app.
Somehow the iOS App 'gets' the correct formatting from the exported data file and the web interface does not (tested on latest version of IE, chrome and Firefox on Windows 7). I could work around that by 'fake editing' 150+ songs but that somehow defies the target of making my life easier by switching to Band Helper ;-) Shouldn't that happen automatically on import? The information must be in the export file, because the correct line breaks do get forwarded to the iOS app.
Please don't tell me that this problem is confined to iPad 1 users...
