  • Copy songs between accounts, and duplicate songs and set lists within an account.
  • Import batches of songs from a spreadsheet file or an iTunes playlist.
  • Sort your songs by artist, style, tempo, etc. or quickly search all your song data.
  • Build set lists by adding songs and dragging and dropping them into the desired sequence, and inserting set breaks and pauses. Copy all or part of a previous set list as a starting point.
  • Calculate set list and set durations based on song durations, average time between songs and average time between sets.

  • Synchronize data between devices automatically, with control over which fields are synced.
  • Back up your data automatically, and roll back to previous versions if needed.

Manage Documents and Recordings

  • Attach multiple recordings to a song, then play the recordings from any set list. Play through the entire set list to preview a show, or play backing tracks while performing.
  • Attach multiple documents in .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .pages, .key, .rtf, .txt or .jpg format to a song, then view the documents from within BandHelper.
  • Write notes or add highlights directly on your documents for quick updates while rehearsing.
  • Navigate through documents with swipe gestures or hotspots.
  • Set document zoom positions that are saved and reloaded automatically (for PDF files only).
  • Auto-scroll your set list, or individual documents or lyrics, based on the song duration.
  • Enter lyrics and chords for your songs, then transpose the chords with the touch of a button.

Use On Stage

  • Preview song tempos with a visual flash or a choice of click sounds. Emphasize downbeats, play subdivisions, set a tempo auto-stop length, set the tempo volume or pan the tempo between the left and right channels.
  • Preview song starting pitches with a pitch playback button.
  • Send MIDI bank and program changes, song select messages, beat clock (tempo) messages or any other MIDI data. Enter MIDI manually or with a MIDI Learn mode.

Scheduling
