What's new in 3.41: - Color highlights. Give each part of a song its own color: background vocals in blue, a harmony in orange, a cue like a solo in red. Start a highlight with {soh: red} and end it with {eoh}. Use a color name or a hex code like #ff8800. The text turns black or white automatically so it stays readable. Plain {soh} still uses your normal highlight color. - A rebuilt metronome that keeps steady time. Every click lands on the beat, even while lyrics scroll, and + and - change the tempo on the next beat. - The metronome fits every screen. The tempo buttons, beat dots and Stop no longer get cut off on any iPhone or iPad, in any time signature, and beat 1 is accented in odd meters like 5/4 and 7/8. - No more duplicate songs when a large sync is interrupted. The app waits and checks on the next sync instead of sending the songs again, and new setlists always arrive with all their songs. - Adding songs on an iPhone always goes to the setlist you have open, even when two setlists share a name. - The Log In button stays above the keyboard. - The Buy button disappears right after you purchase, without restarting the app. - Files with uppercase extensions, like Song.PDF or Chart.JPG, now show up when you browse Dropbox or your files. Questions or suggestions? Email support@setlisthelper.com.

What's new in 3.40 - Band Central: a new Home row introduces Band Central, our app for bands. - Adding a song whose name already exists now offers to use the existing song instead of making a duplicate. - Fixed setlists getting out of order when you drag songs and the setlist has the same title twice (for example two breaks). Setlists already affected are repaired when you open them. - Transposed songs now reopen with the sharp or flat spelling you chose. - Editing a song from inside a tag no longer adds it to that tag again. - Contact Support now asks you to describe the problem first, so we can help faster.

More reliable sync. If part of a sync fails, the songs and setlists that did not make it to the cloud are now retried next time instead of being skipped, and an expired login asks you to sign in again instead of failing silently. Clearer offline handling. Syncing or switching accounts without a connection shows one clear message, and your changes upload once you are back online. Switching between accounts. Each account remembers its own login and sync progress, and the app offers to sync unsaved changes before you switch. Usernames are no longer case sensitive when you sign in. New: Email your database and sync log to support. If something is not syncing the way you expect, open Help and tap "Email database & sync log to support" so we can see exactly what happened. The sync log stays on your device and never includes your lyrics. The Help page now shows a Retry button instead of a blank screen when it cannot load. Heads-up for iOS 13 and 14: future updates will require iOS 15 or later. The version you have keeps working, and every device that runs iOS 13 or 14 can update to iOS 15 for free in Settings, General, Software Update.

Bigger, easier-to-read song and setlist lists. The list text now matches the size used on Android, so titles and artist names are easier to read at a glance on stage. Prefer the old smaller text? There is a new Extra Small option under Settings, List Size, that restores the previous sizes. Fixed a crash that could happen while updating your Dropbox files. Word documents can be selected again when attaching a file to a song.

No need to re-enter songs you already have. - Fixed a crash that could happen when swiping to another song while the page was still turning from a pedal press or auto advance. - Other small improvements to the Add to Setlist menu.

- Auto-scroll half speeds. The plus and minus buttons now adjust the scroll speed in half steps, so you can fine tune between speeds, for example 7.5. - Fixed the key shown in the lyric header not transposing when the key tag had a space after the colon, for example {key: Em}. - Fixed a crash that could happen when turning pages with a Bluetooth pedal while a page swipe was still in progress. - Fixed syncing on devices set to the Thai (Buddhist) calendar. Dates now sync correctly, so edits made on the website are no longer lost on those devices. - Fixed a crash when viewing songs by tag if a song had been deleted. - Reduced memory use while downloading lyrics for offline use during the first sync on large song lists.

- Faster sync: your song list now downloads much faster. - Offline lyrics: after a sync, all of your song lyrics are saved on your device, so they are ready to view even without an internet connection. - Fixed a crash that could occur while quickly turning pages in the lyrics view. - Stability and performance improvements.

What's New in 3.3 - Much faster sync. Only songs that changed since your last sync are downloaded, and bulk edits upload in batches.

Version 3.2 brings major stability improvements and a faster lyric search experience. Sync engine reliability - Rewrote the cloud sync engine to eliminate background-thread crashes that could occur while uploading songs, setlists, and tags. Sync is now safe even if you switch accounts or sign out while a sync is in progress. - Tapping Sync twice in quick succession, or trying to log out while a sync is running, is now blocked at the UI so it cannot put the app in a bad state. - Cancelling a sync now cleanly stops in-flight uploads instead of letting them finish in the background. Lyric search is faster - When searching for lyrics, the app now extracts the lyric text as soon as it appears on the page instead of waiting for ads, trackers, and slow scripts to finish loading. On ad-heavy lyric sites this can be 5 to 20 seconds faster. iPad polish and crash fixes - Fixed a crash that could occur on iPad when tapping a Home screen tile shortly after navigating back from a lyric. - Fixed the back button label "Home" showing instead of the expected "Tags" arrow when leaving the Tag Songs screen on iOS 18. - Added an extra safety net for a rare iPad split-view layout crash that could occur while the app was being snapshotted in the background. - Several smaller stability fixes for low-memory iPads, including guards in the PDF viewer, the metronome, and the Setlist Songs list.
