* Updated the search buttons on the song edit page to open a web browser within a BandHelper popup window, with buttons to import the main page container, the selected text or the current page URL. You can use this to easily copy lyrics, chords, song facts or video links into the Lyrics, Chords or Notes fields. More details are in the Adding Lyrics tutorial. • Added a Notes - For Client field to the invoice edit page. You can use this to add notes for the client to the invoice PDF.

If you open the tuner while BandHelper is playing other audio, that audio might be interrupted. * Updated the Notes button in the set list view to show all of the user's custom fields for the song, in addition to the shared notes and personal notes. This makes it easy to see custom field values that aren't displayed in the layout, without opening the song's edit page. If you want to leave any custom fields out of this display, you can go to Repertoire > Custom Fields > [custom field name] and turn off Include In Notes Popup. • Enabled manual scrolling on the Chords field when the chords are longer than the available display height.

* Added functions to create a custom sequence of document markers. For example, you might add markers for Part A, Part B and Coda, then create a sequence that goes Part A, Part B, Part A, Part B, Coda. Then you can step through the markers in that order from the Document Markers buttons, the Next/Previous Page Or Marker app control actions or the up/down hotspots. To edit the sequence, click the Edit Marker Sequence button in the document toolbar, then click the Add a Marker button to add as many instances of each marker as you need, then drag the "grip" icons to reorder the markers. • Restored the marker edit options on iOS 26. • Added support for .zip files in the Files module. You can copy a zip file from BandHelper to another app by clicking the Export button on the file edit page. • Updated the Show Tempo On Button setting to show the tempo field all the time, not just when the tempo is playing. • Fixed a problem that saved the lyrics font size incorrectly when the last line of the lyrics is a heading.

Then you can send these messages from the Chat Message Button or Multiple Chat Message Buttons layout items, or the Send Chat Message 1-10 app control actions. Following devices will display the messages in a popup, or in the Chat field if that's included in the layout, and can optionally read the messages aloud if Settings > Live Sharing > Speak Chat Messages is on. You can route the speech to a particular audio channel from Settings > Audio & MIDI > Speech Output Channel. • Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Show Tempo On Button. With this on, the current tempo BPM will display in a field on top of the tempo button whenever the tempo is playing. The field will also update if you change between multiple tempos within a song. • When showing a different document on an external display, stopped forwarding some actions, like scrolling to a lyrics line, that would be inapplicable to the other document. • Updated the event conflict checker to ignore events that have been cancelled. • Improved some page load times.

• Updated the Edit menu in the set list view with buttons to edit the current document, recording and MIDI preset. If you have multiple items attached to the song and want to edit an item other than the current item, you can still click the Song button and then access all the attached items from the song edit page. • Updated the Search popup in the set list view with a Set List tab. If you select that, the search and random song results will only draw from the songs in the current set list or smart list. • Updated the auto-scroll function to use Settings > General > Defaults > Song Duration if no default song duration is set for the set list and no song duration or auto-scroll duration are set for the song. • Turned on Settings > Advanced > Appearance > Use Strict Back Button by default for new installations.

• Fixed a crash when playing SMF music files on iOS 26. • Fixed a problem that sometimes prevented the list popups in the song picker from opening on iOS 26. • Fixed a problem that caused some repeat event dates to be off by a day. • Added Settings > Advanced > Hide Warnings to hide some warning messages.

If you have an older layout that doesn't fully scale to your screen, you can click Help > Utilities > Update Layout Height. You will only be able to do this from the same device you originally created the layout on, or a device with the same screen size, and you should only do it once for a given layout. • Fixed problems with the positioning of annotations beyond the first page of a multi-page document. • Added Documents > Transpose Up/Down to the app control actions. • Updated the Frequency Performed filter in smart lists to ignore performances in other projects. • Updated the document viewer options to prevent turning off Wrap Lyrics Lines while Alignment is set to other than Normal, to avoid problems displaying lyrics.

• Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Persist Paired Preset States to leave a paired MIDI preset in its active state when changing songs. • Fixed some problems with annotation positions when zooming a document. • Updated the annotation drawing so that a single tap won't draw a dot; only a movement will trigger the drawing. • Updated the document viewer to follow the lead device's current page if scrolling through a document with Live Sharing when the lead device is using a 1-column display and the following device is using a 2-column display. The following device should use the Fit To Height setting in this situation. • Updated the document viewer to ignore a saved zoom position when displaying in two columns. • Checked the account expiration date when opening the app, not just when syncing, to avoid problems if you keep your device offline for a long time and your account expires during that time. • Restricted the size of debug logs so the Send Troubleshooting Info function can run more quickly.

• Updated the document, recording and MIDI preset buttons in the set list view to hide items that aren't assigned to the current project, unless the song was temporarily added to the set list from another project from the Search button. • Updated the set list view to assign a song to the current project if it was added to the set list from another project from the Search button and Settings > Advanced > General > Save Songs Added From Search is on. • Fixed the Tap Tempo function on the tempo button when the song has no saved tempo. • Fixed a problem where all the undated set lists would temporarily appear in the Set Lists section when adding a new event. • Stopped hiding parentheses in lines containing parenthesized text but no chords when Settings > Appearance > Hide Parentheses In Chord Lines is on. • Fixed a crash on the transaction edit page when adding users after loading default shares from the latest event. • Fixed a crash when resizing the document viewer while viewing an annotated PDF in two columns. • Disabled zooming PDFs while viewing them in two columns. • Updated the Page Buttons layout item to work correctly with a two-column display and to appear immediately when adding to a layout.

* Added a Separate Line setting to the Share Set List page. If you select a field here, that field will appear on a separate line, with the other fields sharing a line as before. This allows you to display fields with longer text on printed set lists. This setting is disabled if the Email Format is set to HTML. * Added an option for transparent stickie notes in the lyrics and document annotations. (The color selector will be black in the dark color theme and white in the light color theme.) ! Renamed Select Next Song On Song Completion to Auto-Advance Through Songs, and moved it from the layout details to the Settings > App Control page. That makes this setting device-specific instead of layout-specific. * Added Other > Start/Stop Auto-Advance to the app control actions, and added Top Toolbar Buttons > Auto-Advance to the layout details, to quickly toggle the Auto-Advance Through Songs setting. You can turn this on or off during a song to change what will happen at the end of the song. * Added Recordings > Record/Save In-App Recording to the app control actions, to quickly make an in-app recording. Triggering this action skips the recording levels preview and starts recording immediately. Triggering it again skips the save prompt and saves the recording with the default filename. You can use this action in a layout that doesn't include the recording controls. If the layout includes the single recording button, that will highlight and show a timer while recording. • Renamed the Start/Stop Automation app control action to Play/Pause Automation to better reflect its behavior. • Updated the volume and recording speed sliders in the set list view to allow clicking on either side of the current position to nudge the position in 1/32 increments. Clicking too quickly will be considered a double-click, which resets the slider to the default position. • Updated the set list view to allow pinch-zooming a document while annotating it. • Updated the stage plot Edit Layout page to allow dragging a zoomed stage plot with two fingers, instead of with one finger after a long-press, for consistency with the set list view. • Updated the event edit page to allow adding one or more set lists to the event, which is more convenient when reusing an existing set list for a new event. You can still add a set list to an event from the set list edit page, which is more convenient when creating a new set list for an existing event. • Updated the event list to show the user response counts instead of the event category names. • Added Settings > Appearance > Stage Plot Date Updated to include the last saved date on stage plots. • Updated the text search fields to ignore punctuation marks except apostrophes, to match the website search functionality. • Updated the Settings > App Control > Actions list to include the document scroll amount if the Document Scroll Up action but not the Document Scroll Down action is added. • Stopped adding an automatic Start marker to lyrics that have a marker before the first line when the first line contains ChordPro chords. • Closed the "reconnecting" message automatically when the Live Sharing function automatically reconnects to a lead device. • Enabled the Save button in picker windows after adding a new item with the + button. • Disabled the Clear Formatting button on formatted text fields when no text is selected. • Hid the renewal button in accounts that have been deleted.
