BandHelper

Much more than a "songbook" app, BandHelper can organize your band and power your live show.

• Send standardized gig invitations and confirmations
• Maintain one organized source for gig details
• Give sub players all the charts and recordings they need for a gig

REHEARSE EFFICIENTLY
• Sync set list, lyric and chord updates as you work
• Play reference recordings instantly, with speed and loop controls
• Transpose chords for different singers, capo positions or horn keys
• Review notes and voice memos from previous rehearsals

PERFORM SEAMLESSLY
• Configure keyboards, effects and lighting as you change songs
• Play backing tracks, click tracks and video presentations
• Customize the interface or use foot switches for hands-free control
• Add custom fields for personal notes and reminders

MANAGE YOUR BAND PROFESSIONALLY
• Track income/expenses and let band members view their earnings
• Organize your booking and industry contacts
• Build stage plots to send to venues
• Generate invoices to send to clients

• 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.
