NOTE: We are no longer adding new features to Set List Maker. We recommend our newer product, BandHelper, for the latest design and functionality.
Version numbers show the dates that development was finished. App releases are typically available for download a couple days later due to app store review times or planned delays to avoid updates on Fridays and Saturdays.

2024-07-29 | Android
⚠ Changed how standard layouts are added to new databases.

★ Replaced Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Play Two Recordings Together with Play Recordings Together, which can select up to 8 recordings to play together. You can change this setting to play different combinations of recordings for different situations, like adding a drum track only when a drummer is not available. If you add the Master Volume item to your layout, you can also adjust a volume slider for each recording. Any of the recordings can be MIDI sound files (previously you could only play one MIDI sound file at a time) and can have MIDI data files attached (previously you could only play one MIDI data file at a time). Audio recordings can be mono or stereo. To start playing multiple recordings, you can use the single Recording button, the recording controls or the Start Recording app control action; the multiple recording buttons will only play individual recordings. When Play Recordings Together is set, Settings > General > Defaults > Recording will be ignored.
★ Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Position Labels. These labels will appear in the Play Recordings Together picker for easy reference, and will appear in the recording buttons in your layouts instead of the recording names if you also turn on Show Labels In Recording Buttons. You can use these settings to show simplified names like "Click Track" and "Drum Track" on all your songs instead of song-specific names like "Freebird click -2" and "Proud Mary click track."
★ Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Cross Fade Recordings. If you set a number of seconds here, then play a recording while a previous recording is still playing, the two recordings will cross fade over the duration you set. This will work between recordings attached to the same song, or between recordings from different songs if you turn on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs.
○ Renamed the Master Volume layout item to Volume Controls.
○ Added a slider for the video volume to the Volume Controls layout item.
○ Added a setting for Set List Stats to the layout details edit page, to show the set list duration and song count in the top toolbar of the set list view.

○ Updated Settings > Appearance > Hide Parentheses in Chord Lines to ignore parentheses in non-chord lines.
○ Fixed a problem where the new recording wouldn't play if you played a recording from the single recording button or recording controls, then selected a different recording from the multiple recording buttons without pausing first.
○ Updated the recording waveforms to redraw when changing layouts, and to fill an area wider than 1024 pixels.
○ Updated the MIDI Learn function to match incoming data to a device regardless of its port name as long as it is the only device using the same channel.
○ Updated the MIDI Learn function to add new rows as control change messages are received, so you can capture more than one control change at a time for the same device.

2024-04-13 | iOS/macOS
★ Added the ability to pin documents, recordings or MIDI presets to breaks or pauses using the Pinned to All Breaks and Pinned to All Pauses settings on the respective edit pages. To see buttons for the pinned items on the break or pause pages, you can turn on Settings > Advanced > Show Song Buttons on Breaks and Pauses. You can also call the pinned items from app control actions. When you pin documents to a break or pause, the break or pause name and details will appear initially, but you can use the document button or the next/previous document hot spots to view the documents. You can also display the break or pause name and details on the main screen and the pinned document on an external screen using Settings > General > External Display > Content > Doc +1.
★ Added a count off function to automatically start a recording or trigger other functions after some tempo clicks or flashes. This functionality was previously only available by creating an automation track for each song. To use this new approach, you can set Settings > App Control > Actions > Count Off to a trigger like Layout Actions > Song Selection, then set the actions you want to trigger to Layout Actions > Count Off Completion. Then set Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options > Count Off Bars to the desired length, and make sure you have entered tempos for your songs. If you are starting recordings from a count off and a recording doesn't start on the downbeat, you can edit the recording and set the Pickup Length so the recording starts at the correct time before the downbeat.
○ Fixed a crash when viewing a song with recordings and pinned recordings but the pinned recordings are missing from the device.

2023-10-27 | iOS/macOS
⚠ Added a Layering setting on the layout Edit Details page, with options to show the song list on top of the layout, the document viewer on top of the layout, both on top or neither on top (split view). This setting replaces the Show Initially setting for the song list and document viewer layout items and the Hide On Song Selection setting for the song list layout item. The song list is now always shown initially, and the document viewer is shown initially unless Layering is set to Document Viewer On Top or Both On Top. The song list now always hides on song selection when Layering is set to Song List On Top. This should make the layout layering options easier to understand and eliminate undesirable combinations of settings. The Layering setting will be set automatically based on the settings that it is replacing, but we recommend checking the behavior of your layouts after this update to make sure they have updated correctly.
○ Added the Song Selection option for the Show Document Viewer and Hide Document Viewer app control actions, which replaces the Show On Song Selection and Hide On Song Selection settings for the document viewer layout item.
○ Updated the Show/Hide Document Viewer app control actions to only work in layouts with the document viewer layered on top and updated the Show/Hide Song List app control actions to only work in layouts with the song list layered on top. This allows you to use those functions in layouts where they are useful, without affecting layouts where they wouldn't make sense.
⚠ Changed the double-tap gesture in the show view to toggle either the document viewer in Document Viewer On Top layouts or the song list in Song List On Top layouts. For Both On Top layouts, a double-tap will close the document viewer if it is open, or toggle the song list if it is not. (For Split View layouts, a double-tap will still switch the document viewer between the split view size and the full-screen size, although that capability will be removed in the future.) Also, the double-tap gesture is now recognized anywhere in the layout, not just in the middle of the document viewer. This change provides a simple and reliable way to navigate a layered layout, regardless of how the layout buttons or app control settings have been customized.
⚠ Changed the lyrics highlighting function in the show view to be triggered by a long-press anywhere on the document viewer instead of a double-tap on the left third of the document viewer.
★ Updated the layout scaling functionality to scale layouts to both the screen width and height, to avoid letterboxing and pillarboxing when viewing on a device with a different aspect ratio.
○ Stopped showing scalable tablet layouts as options on phones and vice-versa.
★ Since the previous two changes make it much easier for everyone in your band to share one or a small set of layouts (minor differences in screeen sizes will no longer be noticeable), the Scalable setting is now on by default for new layouts. More significantly, the apps no longer create a set of standard layouts for each new user. Instead, no additional layouts will be created if an existing layout is already available for the user's device type (phone or tablet) and orientation (portrait or landscape), and just one layout for each orientation will be created if not. This will reduce the clutter the Layouts list and will reduce confusion about which layout to use. Note that layouts are still only assigned to the current user by default, so if you want to set up a layout for your bandmates, you will need to assign it to all users.
○ Added a selection of layout templates when adding a new layout. These templates match the standard layouts that used to be all added automatically. You can also select None at the bottom of the list to start with an empty template as before.
○ Fixed an empty space that appears at the bottom of a scaled layout created on a mobile device without a home button and then viewed on a device with a home button. However, this fix will only apply to new layouts created from now on.
○ Fixed layout items overlapping the bottom toolbar on phones with Dynamic Island.
○ Fixed overlapping top toolbar buttons on smaller phones after rotating.
○ Fixed song list content overlapping the notch on phones without a home button in landscape orientation.
○ Updated the set list view to disable buttons that overlap the document toolbar when the toolbar is open.
○ Updated the set list view to refresh the Notes field immediately after editing the notes from the song edit popup window.
○ Fixed a few instances of non-chord text being colored as if it were a chord.
○ Added a Recordings (Batch) option to the song import function, to create songs from existing local recordings.
○ Added Settings > General > Insert Duplicate Quick Added Songs. With this turned on, songs added with the Quick Add button that are already in the set list will be inserted again at the current location. With this off, the existing song will be selected as before.
○ Fixed the flashing of the tempo button when sending MIDI beat clock to a connected device.
○ Updated the Flic button functionality to respond more quickly to clicks when no double-click or hold action is set. Also, added Settings > App Control > Flic Low-Latency Mode to respond more quickly to all messages, but with a reduction in the Flic's battery life.
○ Added a light bulb icon and removed the border color from help tips.
○ Fixed a poorly placed help tip that was illegible on phones.

★ Replaced the document tools menu with a document toolbar that includes the same functions, plus some functions that are triggered by invisible hotspots, to make those functions easier to find. The new toolbar will remain open until you close it, so you can more easily access the same functions repeatedly if needed. It also incorporates the annotation tools, with a more streamlined design than the old annotation toolbar.
○ Changed the help tips that appear for some functions to display repeatedly until you click the "got it" button. This gives new users more chance to read these before dismissing them. You can make all the help tips appear again by clicking Help > Utilities > Reset Help Tips.
○ Updated the Settings > Appearance > Hide Parentheses Within Unbracketed Chords function to not interfere with chord transposing.
○ Updated the chord recognition function to evaluate the content in parentheses if a line consists only of content in parentheses.
○ Updated the chord recognition function to use square brackets if they are included in the Chords field. (Square brackets are typically only used in the Lyrics field.)
○ Eliminated a visual flash and the interruption of audio playback when rotating a phone.
○ Stopped reloading the song when editing a song from the show view when a recording loop position or speed is set.
○ Stopped forcing a document to Fit To Height when viewing full-screen when the device orientation matches the document orientation. This allows you to see the current page and part of the next page on long displays. You can still turn on Fit To Height manually from the document toolbar to see only one complete page at a time. When you use Fit To Height, the up/down hotspots and the Previous/Next Screen app control actions will move a whole page at a time, like the Previous/Next Page actions. When you use Fit To Width, the up/down hotspots and the Previous/Next Screen app control actions may move more or less than a whole page at a time depending on how much of the page fits on the screen.
○ Updated the document viewer to preserve the scroll position when hiding and showing.
○ Updated the document viewer to pause video playback when hiding.
○ Fixed a problem where the document viewer would become hidden if switching from a layout with a full-screen viewer to a layout with an embedded viewer.
○ Fixed a spacing issue when pinch-zooming lyrics when the lyrics end with a bracketed chord.
○ Closed the Notes popup when changing songs to avoid problems showing it on subsequent songs.
○ Eliminated a double flash of the tempo button when sending MIDI beat clock messages when another device on the network is also sending beat clock messages.

2023-09-19 | iOS/macOS
○ Added Settings > Appearance > Hide Brackets When Inline. When Settings > Appearance > Bracketed Chords is set to Inline, this hides the brackets themselves while still displaying the chords.
○ Added Settings > Appearance > Hide Parentheses Within Unbracketed Chords. When placing non-chord text among unbracketed chords in the Lyrics or Chords field, this hides the parentheses themselves while still displaying the text. If you want parentheses to still appear around some text, you can add two sets of parentheses around it.
○ Added Settings > Advanced > Use Old Chord Recognition to restore the functionality that allows unbracketed chords and unparenthesized non-chord text on the same lines. However, that functionality is still no longer supported, meaning bugs with it will not be fixed.
○ Eliminated a small bit of incorrect background color when opening some popup windows on iOS 17.

★ Added Move After Song and Swap With Song functions to the song options button on the show Edit Songs page.
★ Added a popup menu to the tempo button in the show view containing options to increase or decrease the current tempo by one bpm, set a new tempo by tapping the button five times, save the new tempo or reset the button to the saved tempo. You can increase, decrease or tap a new tempo while the existing tempo is playing, but the playback might not transition smoothly to the new tempo, so these functions aren't meant to be used while performing.
★ Added a Tap Tempo app control action that you can trigger from a screen gesture or a remote control button. If you trigger this action five times in a row, the tempo button will start playing at the corresponding tempo. You do not need to select the Tap Tempo function from the button options first, but if you want to save the new tempo you can do that from the button options.
★ Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Follow MIDI Beat Clock. If you turn this on, and send MIDI Beat Clock messages from another device, the tempo button will flash or play click sounds as it would if you were playing the local tempo. This function will ignore the saved tempo for the current song, and will work with songs that don't have any saved tempo. This function will also ignore subdivision settings for the current song. The external device must send a Start message at the beginning of the Beat Clock messages and a Stop message at the end. (iOS only)
○ Improved the synchronization between outgoing MIDI messages, the tempo button flash and the click sound when using Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send MIDI Beat Clock with Settings > Advanced > Use New MIDI Beat Clock. (iOS only)
★ Added a Show As Roman Numerals option to the document tools menu. If you turn this on, chords you have entered into the Chords and Lyrics fields will be converted to Roman numerals when displayed. For this setting to work, you must have filled in the Key field on the song edit page. Major and minor keys are supported, but not other modes. The transpose buttons will be disabled while showing Roman numerals. This setting will remain on for all songs, until you turn it off by selecting Show Chord Names in the document tools menu.
⚠ Changed the chord coloring and transposing functions to stop recognizing chords that are placed on the same line as lyrics text and not bracketed. This avoids problems with misidentifying chords. If you want to display chords within lyrics lines, you can put square brackets around them and set Settings > Appearance > Bracketed Chords to Inline.
⚠ Added Settings > General > Defaults > Second Recording, which appears when Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Play Two Recordings Together is on. You can use this to specify any two recording positions to play together, instead of only playing the current and next recording together. When you play a recording other than the default recording, a second recording will not play.
○ Split Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Delay Audio into separate settings for Delay Recording 1, Delay Recording 2 and Delay Tempo. You can now set these individually to synchronize multiple audio outputs or synchronize audio with outgoing MIDI data.
○ Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Delay SMF Data. You can use this to synchronize audio with outgoing MIDI data. This setting will affect Standard MIDI Files attached to a recording or attached to a MIDI preset. Standard MIDI Files added as a recording and generating audio are controlled by Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Delay Recording 1.
○ Updated the Quick Add popup to always show the search field, to avoid an extra click if you want to search for a song.
○ Allowed a chord color of White (in the dark color theme) or Black (in the light color theme) to override a surrounding lyrics color.
○ Fixed a problem where clicking a document button on the song edit page would open the lyrics or chords if the song had lyrics or chords.
○ Fixed a problem where the Send MIDI Presets Together ... With Delay Between setting would only be used between the first two presets.
○ Fixed a problem where saving the MIDI preset edit page with a keyboard shortcut after adding a control change would not reload the page with additional control change fields. (macOS only)

⚠ Moved the layout actions to the Remote Control settings page and renamed that page to App Control. This change lets you set layout actions like Send MIDI on Song Selection at the device level rather than the layout level so the functionality remains consistent if you switch layouts. However, a few actions remain at the layout level: auto-selecting the next song on Song Completion, which you can set on a layout's Edit Details page; hiding the song list on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Song List page; and showing or hiding the document viewer on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Document Viewer page.
★ Added a Song Auto-Selection option to the app control settings. When a song is automatically selected by the completion of the previous song, any actions set to Song Selection or Song Auto-Selection will be triggered, but when a song is manually selected, only actions set to Song Selection will be triggered. You can use this in conjunction with the Select Next Song on Song Completion ... Only Between Linked Songs option to set up different behaviors for linked songs versus manually selected songs.
⚠ Replaced Layout MIDI Presets with Pinned MIDI Presets. To make a MIDI preset available from any song, insead of attaching it to a layout, you can now edit the preset and turn on Pinned To All Songs. Pinned presets will appear in your layouts in alphabetical order, and will be available regardless of which layout you are using.
★ Added a Pinned To All Songs setting on the document and recording edit pages. Like pinned MIDI presets, pinned documents (including videos) and recordings will be available from any song. You can select pinned items from the Multiple Document Buttons, Multiple Recording Buttons or Multiple MIDI Buttons layout items, from app control actions or from automation tracks.
○ Changed the assignment of app control actions to allow selecting multiple triggers of the same type. For example, you could set Next Song to a foot switch up arrow and right arrow to use with either of two foot switches that send different messages.
○ Separated the Show/Hide Chords app control actions into Show/Hide Chords Field and Show/Hide Bracketed Chords so that you can control these functions separately if needed. You can also assign these functions to the same options to trigger them together as before.
○ Added layout actions for some additional controls, and removed a few that were redundant.
○ Added an Active / All option to the top of the app control Actions list so you can easily see the actions you have configured.
○ Renamed the Settings > General Settings page to Settings > General.
○ Added a One Number For Linked Songs setting to the song list layout options and the set list share options. When used with the Song Number option, this gives a number only to the first song in a group of linked songs.
○ Restored the ability to add formatting to ChordPro-positioned chords, but only if the formatting is contained entirely within the square brackets. Formatting that extends beyond the square brackets will not be applied to the chord. This means you can explicitly apply formatting to chords if you wish, but you don't need to worry about excluding the chords when adding formatting to the surrounding lyrics.

⚠ Moved the layout actions to the Remote Control settings page and renamed that page to App Control. This change lets you set layout actions like Send MIDI on Song Selection at the device level rather than the layout level so the functionality remains consistent if you switch layouts. However, a few actions remain at the layout level: auto-selecting the next song on Song Completion, which you can set on a layout's Edit Details page; hiding the song list on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Song List page; and showing or hiding the document viewer on Song Selection, which you can set in the options popup on the Edit Document Viewer page.
★ Added a Song Auto-Selection option to the app control settings. When a song is automatically selected by the completion of the previous song, any actions set to Song Selection or Song Auto-Selection will be triggered, but when a song is manually selected, only actions set to Song Selection will be triggered. You can use this in conjunction with the Select Next Song on Song Completion ... Only Between Linked Songs option to set up different behaviors for linked songs versus manually selected songs.
⚠ Replaced Layout MIDI Presets with Pinned MIDI Presets. To make a MIDI preset available from any song, insead of attaching it to a layout, you can now edit the preset and turn on Pinned To All Songs.

★ Added a text background color button to the text formatting toolbar for the Lyrics, Chords and Notes fields. You can use this to highlight words or lines with a background color rather than changing the text color.
○ Added a Bass Drum tempo click sound.
○ Updated the display of bracketed chords to ignore bold, italic or underline applied to the surrounding text, but to use the color of the surrounding text if no chords color is set.
○ Updated the show sort and shuffle functions to keep linked songs together (groups of linked songs will be sorted according to the first song in the group).
○ Updated the recording player to no longer trigger a Song Completion action for recordings shorter than one second.
○ Fixed a problem that collapsed the preview height on the set list share pages when changing multiple options on iPhone models with home buttons.
○ Fixed missing line endings from the email message text when emailing a set list from macOS.
○ Moved most of the items on the Help > Utilities page to a new Settings > Advanced page.

★ Added support for multi-channel audio interfaces on macOS. You will need to change the input or output to your audio interface in the System Settings app. Then all the channels of your audio interface should appear in the channel settings on the Settings > Audio & MIDI page. This isn't as flexible as the full multi-route audio on iOS because it can only access one audio interface at a time.
○ Limited the column resizing to keep a minimum width of each column, and removed the shortcuts to hide the left or right column.
○ Increased the compression in transmitted screen images to make the screen sharing function more responsive.
○ Cropped URLs in custom fields to their domain names when displayed in a song list.
○ Fixed a crash when viewing the last song in a set list when the layout includes a +2 field.
○ Fixed incorrectly placed checkmarks when adding a new song from the song picker, or when selecting existing songs and then changing the search values.
○ If the same song is in a set list multiple times and you remove one of them, stopped changing the others to "Missing Song."
○ Fixed a problem that caused tags in smart copies to not save or inherit correctly.

★ Added an option to visually link songs in a set list. On the set list's Edit Songs page, you can click Add a Link, then drag the link between two songs. Then those songs will appear with no border line and a small arrow between them when you view your set list. You can use this function to indicate medleys, or groups of songs that you want to perform with minimal gap between.
★ Added an Only Between Linked Songs option for the Next Song action on the layout Edit Details page. Normally, the Song Completion will trigger the Next Song action unless there is a pause before the next song. With this option turned on, the Song Completion will only trigger the Next Song action if there is a link to the next song. You can use this function if you only want to auto-select within a few songs and don't want to add pauses after all your other songs.
★ Added a Move Multiple Items button to the song options on the show Edit Songs page. If you click this for an item, you can then click another item further down the list to select all the items in between, then click a final item to move the selected items after that item. (On-screen prompts will guide you through these steps.) You can use this function to move groups of items to different sets, but you can only select a group of items from within the same set.
★ Added an export button to the song edit page, which opens the Share Songs page with just that song loaded. You can use this to print, email or save individual songs in PDF format without adding them to a show.
⚠ Updated the set list duration on the show Edit Songs and Share Set List pages to display in "hh:mm" format instead of "hh:mm:ss".
⚠ Updated the set durations on the show Edit Songs page to display in "m minutes" format instead of "mm:ss".
○ Updated the Auto-Accept Connections live sharing setting to revert to a manual acceptance when the following device isn't using a current app version.
○ Updated the smart copy function to correctly inherit automation tracks and text sizes in new smart copies.

○ Fixed a problem on macOS where an alert message on the Databases list would make the interface not interactive.
○ Fixed a crash if you open a new automation track and click Save without adding any events.
○ Removed an extra toolbar in some picker windows when opened from the show view.

- Updated the Follow Song Selections live sharing action to work when the lead device isn't using the current app version.
- Fixed some problems with paging through lyrics markers.
2023-03-21 | Android
- Updated the Follow Song Selections live sharing action to work when the lead device isn't using the current app version.
2023-03-17 | iOS/macOS
- Fixed the display of lyrics formatting in the first column when using a 2-column display.
- Updated the Follow Song Selections live sharing action to broadcast the song ID along with the song position. Then if the set list is not up to date on the lead or following devices, Set List Maker can still select the correct song as long as it is somewhere in the set list, or show a warning message if it isn't. With this functionality, the following devices could simply view a smart list containing all active songs, but then they wouldn't be able to see upcoming songs in the set list.
- Updated the MIDI Learn function to support incoming control changes with the new ability to enter multiple control changes per device.
- Added Assign Song Select Numbers and Assign Incoming Programs to the Settings > Audio & MIDI page. Unless these settings are on, the MIDI Song Number and MIDI Program Number fields on the song edit page will be hidden. These fields are rarely used and often misunderstood, so these settings are off by default.
- Added a warning message if you view a page that links to recordings in your media library but your media library permission is disabled.
- When importing a document from the photo library, changed slashes in the song name to dashes in the file name to avoid problems saving the file.

2023-02-27 | iOS/macOS
- Partially reverted the recent change allowing you to set fields in a smart copy to empty without inheriting the value from the original copy. The Color, Rating and Personal Transpose fields still work this way, but other fields again inherit from the original copy if you empty them.
- Fixed the inheriting of documents and recordings in smart copies.
- Adjusted some inherited smart copy values that were faded too much to read.

2023-02-24 | iOS/macOS
- Reworked the way the data is stored for smart copies of songs. With the new system, you can sort and filter smart copies independently of their original copies, including filtering in a smart list. Also, you can now set a field in a smart copy to empty without inheriting the value from the original copy.
- Since smart copies no longer have to appear with their original copies in lists, they are no longer indented, but you can look for the Original Copy or Smart Copies section on the song edit page to identify smart copies or original copies.
- Added support for sending multiple MIDI control changes to the same device from the same MIDI preset using the built-in Control Changes fields. If you enter a control change for a device and save the preset (you can use the manual save button in the bottom toolbar), another row will appear for that device, and you can repeat those steps to add as many control changes as you need.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Use Serial Queue. Normally if you send multiple MIDI presets at the same time (including presets that send other presets), they will be started in order but will proceed in parallel with each other. If you need a specific order of execution between different parts of different presets, you can turn this setting on and each preset will be delayed until all the parts of a previous preset have been sent.
- Added Settings > Live Sharing > Rebroadcast Received Actions. If you turn this on, any live sharing messages received by your device will be sent back out to any devices following yours. This allows connecting devices in a chain or loop arrangement, and using multiple lead devices.
- Fixed the sizing of the document viewer on the song edit page on iPhones.
- Fixed a problem where renaming a document marker moved it to the top of the document.
- Fixed ChordPro alignment in the second column when using a 2-column display.
- Fixed saving italicized text with the Monospace Serif font on macOS.
- Fixed a problem that disconnected the pause button in the recording controls when changing layouts while a recording is playing.
- Updated the automation controls to correctly play again after finishing playing or recording.
- Clarified the error messages in the recording picker when no recordings are available.

- Fixed a permissions error that stopped the Remote Control Status window from opening in older Android versions.
2023-01-13 | iOS/macOS

- Updated the Start Recording and Start Tempo layout actions to do nothing if the recording or tempo for the current song is already playing.
- Updated the Start/Stop Tempo layout action to start the tempo for the new song if it is still running for the previous song.
- Updated the automation controls to start recordings and videos, update auto-scroll positions and send MIDI presets if you scroll into an area affected by these events. Previously, scrolling an automation track would only change the playback time.
- Fixed a problem that left out the End event when recording a new automation track.
- Eliminated an unnecessary reloading of the automation waveform when the automation controls and automation button are both in the layout.
- Worked around a problem in macOS 13 that sometimes hid the top toolbar buttons in picker windows.

2022-12-18 | Android
- Fixed an intermittent crash on launch.
2022-12-12 | iOS/macOS
- Updated the Automation button to pause and resume instead of stop and restart. When you pause and resume an automation track, any recording, video, tempo or auto-scrolling that was started by the automation track will also pause and resume. If the tempo was playing downbeat or subdivision sounds, it will only play simple clicks after pausing and resuming. To reset the song and restart the automation track, you can reselect the song in the set list or smart list.
- Added a timer to the Automation button to show current elapsed time of the automation track. To hide this, you can turn off Settings > Appearance > Automation Button Timer.
- Added an Automation Controls layout item containing a progress slider and buttons for all the automation track management functions. Besides pausing and resuming automation tracks from these controls, you can drag the progress slider to jump to any location in an automation track, and any recording, video, tempo or auto-scrolling that was started by the automation track will jump along with it. If the tempo was playing downbeat or subdivision sounds, it will only play simple clicks after jumping to a new location. For reference, the waveforms of any recordings or videos played by the automation track will appear behind the progress slider, along with tick marks showing the downbeats of tempos and dots showing the locations of other events in the automation track.
- Updated the Add An Event button on the automation track edit page to place the new event at the current automation track elapsed time, if you played and paused it or moved its progress slider before opening the edit window. If you select an existing event in that window, the Add An Event button will place the new event after that event instead. If you neither play the automation track nor select an existing event, the Add An Event button will place the new event at the end of the automation track.
- On the automation track edit page, moved event values to a second line to make the event list easier to read.
- Added Help > Utilities > Preload Recordings in Automation Tracks to play recordings more accurately to their event times. This only affects songs with multiple recordings whose automation tracks play recordings other than the first, since the first recording is already preloaded. Recordings will not preload if a previous recording is still playing.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Send SMF Data To Port. You can use this to send the SMF data only to the selected port. You can also select Set List Maker as the port, to send the SMF data back into Set List Maker as an alternative to an automation track.
- Fixed a crash when playing a specific recording from an automation track when the song has local recordings attached.
- Fixed a problem that made the Play First Two Recordings Together setting always play the second recording in the song instead of the next recording after the selected recording.
- Applied the Lyrics Size Override to the default size if one of the Lyrics or Chords field has a custom size set and the other doesn't.
- On macOS, ignored the Back, Home and the status window keyboard shortcuts when a popup window is open.
- On macOS, fixed the sorting of the Documents and Recordings lists and removed duplicate items.

- Updated the Add An Event button on the automation track edit page to place the new event at the current automation track elapsed time, if you played and paused it or moved its progress slider before opening the edit window. If you select an existing event in that window, the Add An Event button will place the new event after that event instead. If you neither play the automation track nor select an existing event, the Add An Event button will place the new event at the end of the automation track.

2022-11-18 | iOS/macOS
- Simplified the behavior of the layout display when resizing the app window in Stage Manager to load the last layout you selected when using approximately the same window size if you've done that, or scale the current layout to the new window size if not. If you see that the layout has been scaled, you can select a layout for the new window size if one exists, or create one if you wish.
- Updated the layout display in Split View to match the behavior in Stage Manager.
- On the Repertoire > Layouts list, the show menu and the Switch Layout button, placed parentheses around the names of layouts that are available at the current window size because they are set to Scalable or were created at the device's full screen size, but will be scaled because they were created at a different window size. This will help you pick native layouts when available instead of scaled layouts with the same names.
- Added Export Settings, Email Settings and Import Settings buttons to the database import/export options. You can use these to copy settings across devices or back up and restore settings when reinstalling the app.
- Added a five second countdown to the Help > Send Screen Shot function so you can navigate to another page or open a popup window if needed before the screen shot is captured.
- Fixed the document batch import function to correctly load documents from Settings > General Settings > Defaults > Document Directory on macOS.

- Simplified the behavior of the layout display when resizing the app window in multi-window mode to load the last layout you selected when using approximately the same window size if you've done that, or scale the current layout to the new window size if not. If you see that the layout has been scaled, you can select a layout for the new window size if one exists, or create one if you wish.

2022-11-04 | iOS/macOS
- Updated to support dynamic window sizing in Stage Manager. If you change the window size in the show view, Set List Maker will load the last layout used with the new window size if one exists, or scale the current layout if its Scalable option is on, or show an alert asking you to select a layout for the new window size. Layouts created for a device's full screen size will automatically be treated as scalable when using Stage Manager on that device. To avoid letterboxing and pillarboxing, you can create a new layout based on an existing layout with the Copy For This Size button on the existing layout's Edit Details page, but we recommend only doing this for your most-used layouts and window sizes to avoid creating an unwieldy number of layouts.
- Added a live Window Size display to the Help > About page so you can size a window to a previously used size and use layouts that you've created for that size.
- Updated the document preview on the song edit page to open more smoothly and close by double-clicking the middle of the document.
- Fixed a problem that opened an empty MIDI preset edit page when clicking the name of a preset attached to another preset.
2022-11-04 | Android
- Updated to better support freeform window sizing. If you change the window size in the show view, Set List Maker will load the last layout used with the new window size if one exists, or scale the current layout if its Scalable option is on, or show an alert asking you to select a layout for the new window size. Layouts created for a device's full screen size will automatically be treated as scalable when using multi-window mode on that device. To avoid letterboxing and pillarboxing, you can create a new layout based on an existing layout with the Copy For This Size button on the existing layout's Edit Details page, but we recommend only doing this for your most-used layouts and window sizes to avoid creating an unwieldy number of layouts.
- Added a live Window Size display to the Help > About page so you can size a window to a previously used size and use layouts that you've created for that size.
- Updated the document preview on the song edit page to open more smoothly and close by double-clicking the middle of the document.
2022-10-28 | iOS/macOS
- Added a Follow Remote Control Messages option to the Settings > Live Sharing page. If you turn this on, foot switch (keyboard) and MIDI remote control messages will be forwarded from the lead device to the following devices, where they can trigger the same or different actions according to each device's remote control settings. With this option, you can control multiple devices from a single foot switch or MIDI button.
- Added remote control actions View Page/Marker 1-10 to jump to specific pages or markers from a remote control message.
- Added support for the Only Draw With Apple Pencil setting in the iOS Settings app in iOS 14+. When this is on and you annotate a document, only an Apple Pencil will draw on the document, so you can scroll the document by dragging with your finger. Otherwise you need to drag with two fingers to scroll while annotating. You will need to turn this setting off if you want to add annotations and you don't have your Apple Pencil with you.
- Added support for opening and closing the document annotation toolbar by double-tapping an Apple Pencil 2. This will be disabled if Double-Tap is set to Off in the iOS Settings app.
- Updated the document annotation function to remember the last-used tool (not including the whiteout or eraser tool) when leaving and returning to the set list view.

- Updated the Start Automation remote control action to do nothing, instead of stopping the automation, if the automation is already playing.
- Updated the song list buttons to skip their actions if you click a button from a song other than the selected song and the layout has a song selection action to perform the same action.
- Updated the set list Share Songs page to not split a line of chords and a following line of lyrics across a page break.
- Updated all lists to sort empty values at the bottom, even when sorting backwards.

2022-10-14 | iOS/macOS

- Added Key Repeat Interval and Delay Before Repeat settings to the Settings > Remote Control page, since the keyboard settings in the iOS Settings app no longer control these settings within Set List Maker.

For AirDirect footswitches, you need to set these in the AirTurn app, then disconnect and reconnect the footswitch to load the settings.

2022-10-14 | Android
- Ended support for Android 4.
- Updated to support the latest multi-tasking and split screen display options in Android 12+. However, to avoid creating many unnecessary layouts, we recommend only using a 50/50 split screen, the largest possible split screen or the smallest possible split screen on devices that support free-form windows. Otherwise you will need to maintain separate layouts for a potentially limitless number of window sizes. Also, we don't support splitting the screen vertically in landscape orientation. You can still do this, but you will need to heavily edit the standard layouts or create fully custom layouts.
- Updated document annotions to move with the document while inertial scrolling, instead of waiting until the scroll movement ends.

- Fixed a problem where document and recording settings, including document annotations, weren't included when importing a database.

- Fixed a problem that caused the standard layout not to use the full screen height on some devices without a software navigation bar.

2022-05-20 | iOS/macOS
- Changed the app version numbering from semantic versioning (e.g., 4.3.9) to calendar versioning (e.g., 2022-05-12). With this system, it's easier to see how old a version is and easier to compare versions across platforms. This also allows more flexibility in releasing new features as soon as they're available rather than waiting to bundle them into large "feature releases."
- Rebuilt the underlying database functionality for more efficient development and less memory usage. The first time you launch the app, each of your databases will be listed with a "needs update" label.

- Updated the set list view to not display layout items beyond the edges of the screen if they have been somehow saved that way.

Layout Improvements
- Added new standard layouts named Overlapping Buttons (an extra-large document viewer with a couple buttons placed on top of it) and Big Fields (a set of large song fields with the document viewer opening in full-screen) and renamed the existing standard layouts. You can click Help > Utilities > Load Standard Layouts to load the new layouts and Help > Utilities > Rename Standard Layouts to rename the existing layouts, without affecting the contents of your existing layouts. Also, stopped adding "Portrait" to the names of the default portrait layouts.
- Changed the way the full-screen document viewer works. Instead of double-tapping a document viewer to expand it to full-screen, you can now add it to your layout at any size, and turn off its Show Initially option. Then when you click a document button or use a remove control action or layout action to show the document viewer, it will appear above the layout. Since you can set it to any size, this means you can have it cover only part of the layout, and switch between seeing the document viewer and seeing what's under it. The new default More Controls layout demonstrates this capability. For an almost full-screen display, you can resize it to the full content area, or click its options button and then click Expand to Full Screen. For a completely full-screen display, you can do that and also select its Cover Top Toolbar option. When a document viewer is showing above the layout, you can use a remote control action or layout action to hide it again, or double-tap the middle of the document viewer. Although this change allows new layout design options, allows hiding and showing the document viewer while auto-scrolling, and allows hiding and showing the document viewer more smoothly than before, the main purpose is to eliminate frequent bugs resulting from switching the viewer between two sizes. The previous functionality of double-tapping the document viewer to expand it will still work for now, but eventually you will need to either show the document viewer in your layout or above it, not both.
- Moved the bottom toolbar buttons in the set list view to the middle of the top toolbar, and updated the Song Edit, Quick Add and Random Song icons. This makes their functionality more discoverable, and makes it easier to hide the bottom toolbar to maximize the lyrics area. Removed the set list stats (song count and total duration) from the top toolbar to make room for these buttons.
- Split the Layouts button in the set list view into separate Switch Layout and Edit Layout buttons.
- Expanded the Edit Layout Button with separate options to edit the song list, buttons and fields, document viewer or backgrounds. This makes it easier to edit layout elements that overlap each other, such as a song list on top of a document viewer or buttons on top of a background box. Items in other layers will still appear, but faintly, so you can arrange items relative to the other layers.
- When editing a layout, displayed each item's remove, resize and options buttons all the time rather than requiring selecting an item first.
- After selecting multiple layout items, added new buttons to the options menu: Apply Average Size, Align Centers and Space Equally. Also, you can now select multiple items and then resize the selection box to resize all the selected items together. Removed the background grid image when editing a layout since that can make things hard to see, and is less important with these automatic alignment options.
- Removed the option to remove the song list or document viewer from a layout. If you don't want to see these items, you can click their options buttons, deselect Show Initially, and then turn off any layout actions that show them.
- Highlighted the Edit Layout button while editing a layout as a reminder to use the same button to save it, and renamed its Revert option while editing to Cancel.
- On the Edit Details page for a layout sized for another device, added a Copy For This Device button. This makes a copy of the layout sized for the current device. After clicking the button, you will see options to automatically scale the layout items to the current device, or keep the original sizes so you can edit it manually. Layout actions and other settings will always be copied. If you have set up a custom layout on another device, this makes it easier to make a copy of that layout for your current device.
Other Usability Improvements
- When clicking a button in the song list in the set list view, automatically selected that song. This avoids problems resulting from clicking the buttons for a song other than the selected song.
- Added a Jump to Section button as an option on a layout's Edit Details page. If you add this button to the top toolbar, the section shortcuts will be hidden from the song list and you can instead click this button to jump to a section. This avoids problems with the section shortcuts being too small to see or click, or so long that they take up too much space from the song titles.
- Hid lyrics markers when using 2-column display or the new Hide Other Lyrics Sections option, and made the 2-column display more reliable.
- Added a divider between the song-level and layout-level MIDI presets in the MIDI button's popup menu.
- Added the source port name to all incoming MIDI messages in the Activity Log to make it easier to troubleshoot issues.
- Added a confirmation message after making an in-app recording and then clicking its delete button.
Design Improvements
- On iOS 11+, extended the divider lines in lists all the way to the left edge of the list.
- On iOS 14+, implemented the new calendar-style date picker for date fields.
- Reduced the default text sizes in the set list view's song list.
- Reduced the size of the document tools button on the document viewer.
- Reduced the size of the layout item editing buttons.
- Faded the color of the lyrics/chords divider line, but increased its clickable area.
- Added an orange bar on the left side of the selected song in the set list view, to make it easier to see the selected song.
- On printed set lists, removed the background color for named pauses, and instead italicized the name text.
- Removed the gradient from the set list notes button in the top toolbar of the set list view, and made its appearance optional from the Top Toolbar Buttons section of the layout's Edit Details page.
- Updated to the latest page layout frameworks, which should avoid layout problems on future iOS versions and devices, and refined some view transitions.
New Features
- Built as a universal binary to run natively on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs.
- Added separate Start and Stop remote control and layout actions for several items. For example, instead of a single Start/Stop Video remote control action, there are now separate options for Start/Stop Video, Start Video and Stop Video.
- Updated the ChordPro positioning functionality to work with proportional as well as monospace fonts.
- Added a Hide Lyrics Field option to the document tools button.
- Added options to Settings > General Settings > External Display to control the display of lyrics and chords fields and the display of bracketed chords separately from the main display. These options only work when using the Document or Doc +1 content options.
- Added a Hide Other Lyrics Sections option to the document viewer layout item. If you use markers to divide your lyrics into sections and turn this on, the document viewer will show only the current section, and manual scrolling will be disabled.
- Added a Wrap Lyrics Lines option to the document viewer layout item. If you turn this off, and increase your lyrics text size, the lyrics lines will be cropped off the edge rather than wrapping. This allows you to set a very large font size and only see the first few words of each line, which is often enough to jog your memory when viewing lyrics.
- Added Notes fields to the MIDI Device and MIDI Preset edit pages.
- Changed the values for Date Added, Date Updated and Last Performed filters on smart lists to a number of months rather than a fixed date. This means a smart list set to include, for example, songs last performed more than three months ago will automatically remain up to date.
- Updated the tempo player to use the bottom half of x/8 time signatures. In that case, the Tempo Subdivisions setting for the song will be ignored and the tempo will be subdivided by eighth notes or eighth-note triplets automatically. You can make the subdivisions quieter than the main beats or mute them with the Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Subdivision Volume setting.
- Added the layout-level MIDI presets to the MIDI preset options when manually editing an automation track.
- After selecting multiple stage plot items, added new buttons to the options menu: Align Centers and Space Equally.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed various graphics issues on mac OS 12 Monterey.
- Fixed a problem that caused macOS's default table navigation to interfere with remote control input. However, remote control has a separate issue in later versions of macOS 11 Big Sur and you might have to update to macOS 12 Monterey to use it again.

Usability Improvements
- Streamlined the selection of layouts for the show view. Previously, selecting a show or smart list from the menus would show a list of layouts to view the show or smart list with. Now, this shows a View button that opens the show or smart list with your default layout, plus a More Layout Options button that shows the complete list. Selecting a different layout from the More button, or from the Layouts button on the bottom toolbar of the show view, changes that layout to your default. You can also change your default layout from the Set as Default button on the Layouts > [layout name] > Edit Details page.
- Made show view "title shortcuts" more flexible. Previously, clicking the title in the show view would show a list of the five most recently used shows and five most recently used smart lists, which you could then switch to without leaving the show view. You can now control which shows and smart lists appear in this popup by navigating to Shows or Smart Lists and clicking the triangle icon for an item. You can designate any number of shows or smart lists to appear among the title shortcuts. If you enter the show view with a show or smart list that isn't included in the title shortcuts, that show or smart list will be added automatically at the end of the title shortcuts so you can return to it after using the shortcuts.
- Renamed the Device Linking functionality to Live Sharing and renamed the Remote Control portion of this function to Share Actions. Also, changed the top toolbar icon to match the new name, and updated the icon functionality to blink when sending actions as well as receiving actions.
- Added color buttons to the Songs list to quickly set song colors from the list.
- Updated the song editing popup window in the show view to only reload a playing recording when it closes if you have edited the recording settings. This allows you to edit songs while playing recordings without interruption.
- Updated the Random Song button in the show view to avoid selecting songs that have been marked as completed.
- Updated various edit pages to show an alert if you rename an item to the same name as an existing item. With some types of items, like shows, duplicate names are allowed, but with others, like tags, they are not.
- Updated the MIDI preset edit pages to show an alert if you enter invalid numbers into the program change or control change field.
- Updated the multiple document, recording and MIDI preset buttons in the show view to scroll the currently selected item to the top when changing items, rather than simply scrolling it into view.
- Adjusted the toolbar and layout button icons to use more balanced line weights, added 3x resolution versions for the latest high-density devices, and changed the Address icon to more clearly signify navigation.
- Removed the audio route selection button from the recording controls, to make more room for the progress slider. You can still change audio routes from the iOS Control Center.
- Made some popups, like the song list layout options, wider so all the setting names are visible.
New Features
- Added Settings > Appearance > Invert PDF Colors to display PDFs as light text on a dark background. This is only available in iOS 13 and later, and currently can only show the first page of a PDF, so you should not enable it if you're viewing multi-page documents.
- Added a Presentation setting under the Lyrics field on the song edit page, with options for Default, 1 Column and 2 Columns. This allows you to display most of your lyrics with a one-column presentation but override a few to use a two-column presentation, or vice-versa. Lyrics set to Default will display with the presentation set for the layout.
- Changed the horizontal swipe in the show view to a configurable layout action. This means you can use swipe gestures to trigger other actions, like next/previous document or next/previous MIDI preset, instead of changing songs. You can also assign unrelated actions to these gestures, like Reselect Current Song for a right swipe and Stop Tempo for a left swipe, or disable swiping by removing these layout actions.
- Added layout actions and remote control actions for Next Layout and Previous Layout. This means you can quickly change layouts from a foot switch, a MIDI message or a screen gesture, including the new horizontal swipe gestures. Note that if you want to cycle through your layouts with these actions, you will need to add them to all your active layouts—otherwise you will get stuck when you reach a layout that doesn't have these actions.
- Added Reselect Current Song as a layout action (it was already available as a remote control action). This is useful to reload a song, restarting any functions like recording playback or auto-scrolling.
- Added a Speak Text ... From Field layout action. You can use this to hear the contents of any standard or custom field when you select a song, or trigger the function with another layout action like a two-fingered tap.
- Updated the video playback in the show view to trigger the Song Completion layout actions when the video finishes.
- Added Settings > Live Sharing > Follow Layout Gestures. This allows you to transmit two- and three-fingered taps and left and right swipes to the following devices, to trigger the same or different layout actions on those devices.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Custom MIDI ... With Code. You can use this setting to send any MIDI message on every click of the tempo function, instead of using standard MIDI Beat Clock messages.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Auto-Mute Instead of Auto-Stop. This setting works with the existing Auto-Stop Time or Auto-Stop Bars setting to mute the tempo sounds but continue flashing the tempo button at the auto-stop point. This allows you to hear tempo clicks during a count-off or early in a song, then automatically switch to visual flashes.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Start MIDI On Auto-Mute. This setting works with the existing Auto-Stop Bars setting and the new Auto-Mute Instead of Auto-Stop setting to switch from click sounds to MIDI messages at the auto-stop point. This allows you to hear tempo clicks during a count-off, then automatically switch to MIDI messages to start a MIDI device.
- Added a Mute/Unmute Tempo remote control action. You can use this to toggle the tempo sound on and off, while the tempo button continues flashing.
- Changed the order of sending song-level MIDI presets versus layout-level MIDI presets when both are triggered from the same layout action or remote control action. Previously, song presets were sent first, but now layout presets are sent first. This makes it easier to use layout MIDI presets to reset the parameters on a device, before the song-level presets configure it for the next song.
- Updated the Multiple MIDI Buttons layout item to include an option for showing Song, Layout or All presets. You can use this to fine-tune which MIDI presets are available as buttons in your layouts. If you leave this set to All, the layout item will include a divider line between the song-level presets, shown first, and the layout-level presets, shown second.
- Updated shared shows to include a clickable link instead of a raw URL for fields that include only a URL. For example, if you have a custom field named Video and you paste a YouTube URL into it, then share a show as a PDF, the PDF will have a clickable link named Video that opens the URL.
- For users with Settings > General Settings > Document Size set to Letter, added a Legal size option to the show share page. This allows you to fit more songs or lyrics on a page by printing on 8.5x14" paper.
- Added MIDI Presets to the list of song fields you can select when sharing a show. This allows you to keep a hard copy of the MIDI presets assigned to each song.
- Updated the Titles Only, One Column Per Set option on the show share page to use the Sets Per Page option. This allows you to print simple columns of song titles split across multiple pages.
- Added a Notes icon to the top toolbar of the show view to show the set list's Notes field, if it is populated.
- Added pink and brown to the list of available colors for songs and categories, and adjusted the existing colors for better contrast in both light and dark color themes.
- Updated the Song Second Selection layout actions to run on every even-numbered selection. Previously they would only run on the second selection, but now they will run on the second, fourth, sixth, etc.
- Updated the show set and song numbering to ignore sets that use the Exclude Duration setting. This allows you to add a brief set for your soundcheck, for example, while the first real set still displays as set 1 and the first song in that set still displays as song 1.
- Updated the Fit to Height option in the document viewer to work with JPEG photos that don't follow standard document sizes. On iOS, this requires iOS 13 or newer.
- Added a Copy Values setting to the custom field edit page. This setting is on by default. If you turn it off for a custom field, then copying an item containing that custom field won't copy that field's value. You can use this to store information that you would never want to copy to a new item, like an invoice number for an event.
- Added a Use Autocomplete setting to the custom field edit page. This setting is on by default. If you turn it off for a custom field, then typing into that custom field will not activate the autocomplete functionality. You can use this for custom fields that rarely have repeated info, where the autocomplete suggestions just get in the way.
- Updated the tempo volume sliders on the Settings > Tempo & Pitch page to scale logarithmically for more noticeable changes. However, your device will continue using the old functionality unless you turn off Help > Utilities > Use Old Volumes.
- Updated alerts and popups to use the latest iOS frameworks.

- Fixed a problem that removed bold and italic formatting from lyrics when switching in or out of full-screen display on iOS 13.
- Started updating the saved date shown on the Databases list when importing into a database.
Usability Improvements
- Streamlined the selection of layouts for the show view. Previously, selecting a show or smart list from the menus would show a list of layouts to view the show or smart list with. Now, this shows a View button that opens the show or smart list with your default layout, plus a More Layout Options button that shows the complete list. Selecting a different layout from the More button, or from the Layouts button on the bottom toolbar of the show view, changes that layout to your default. You can also change your default layout from the Set as Default button on the Layouts > [layout name] > Edit Details page.
- Made show view "title shortcuts" more flexible. Previously, clicking the title in the show view would show a list of the five most recently used shows and five most recently used smart lists, which you could then switch to without leaving the show view.

- Renamed the Device Linking functionality to Live Sharing and renamed the Remote Control portion of this function to Share Actions. Also, changed the top toolbar icon to match the new name, and updated the icon functionality to blink when sending actions as well as receiving actions.
- Added color buttons to the Songs list to quickly set song colors from the list.
- Moved the column resize handle on tablets from the middle of the column divider to the top toolbar, to avoid accidentally resizing columns when using a list's first-letter shortcuts. (To drag the resize button, tap and hold until it changes color, then drag.)
- Added arrow icons to menu items to indicate which items navigate to another menu versus opening a page in the right column.
- Updated the song editing popup window in the show view to only reload a playing recording when it closes if you have edited the recording settings. This allows you to edit songs while playing recordings without interruption.
- Updated the Random Song button in the show view to avoid selecting songs that have been marked as completed.
- Updated various edit pages to show an alert if you rename an item to the same name as an existing item. With some types of items, like shows, duplicate names are allowed, but with others, like tags, they are not.

New Features
- Added a Presentation setting under the Lyrics field on the song edit page, with options for Default, 1 Column and 2 Columns. This allows you to display most of your lyrics with a one-column presentation but override a few to use a two-column presentation, or vice-versa. Lyrics set to Default will display with the presentation set for the layout.
- Changed the horizontal swipe in the show view to a configurable layout action. This means you can use swipe gestures to trigger other actions, like next/previous document or next/previous MIDI preset, instead of changing songs. You can also assign unrelated actions to these gestures, like Reselect Current Song for a right swipe and Stop Tempo for a left swipe, or disable swiping by removing these layout actions.
- Added layout actions and remote control actions for Next Layout and Previous Layout. This means you can quickly change layouts from a foot switch, a MIDI message or a screen gesture, including the new horizontal swipe gestures. Note that if you want to cycle through your layouts with these actions, you will need to add them to all your active layouts—otherwise you will get stuck when you reach a layout that doesn't have these actions.
- Added Reselect Current Song as a layout action (it was already available as a remote control action). This is useful to reload a song, restarting any functions like recording playback or auto-scrolling.
- Added a Speak Text ... From Field layout action. You can use this to hear the contents of any standard or custom field when you select a song, or trigger the function with another layout action like a two-fingered tap.
- Updated the video playback in the show view to trigger the Song Completion layout actions when the video finishes.
- Added Settings > Live Sharing > Follow Layout Gestures. This allows you to transmit two- and three-fingered taps and left and right swipes to the following devices, to trigger the same or different layout actions on those devices.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Custom MIDI ... With Code. You can use this setting to send any MIDI message on every click of the tempo function, instead of using standard MIDI Beat Clock messages.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Auto-Mute Instead of Auto-Stop. This setting works with the existing Auto-Stop Time or Auto-Stop Bars setting to mute the tempo sounds but continue flashing the tempo button at the auto-stop point. This allows you to hear tempo clicks during a count-off or early in a song, then automatically switch to visual flashes.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Start MIDI On Auto-Mute. This setting works with the existing Auto-Stop Bars setting and the new Auto-Mute Instead of Auto-Stop setting to switch from click sounds to MIDI messages at the auto-stop point. This allows you to hear tempo clicks during a count-off, then automatically switch to MIDI messages to start a MIDI device.
- Added a Mute/Unmute Tempo remote control action. You can use this to toggle the tempo sound on and off, while the tempo button continues flashing.
- Changed the order of sending song-level MIDI presets versus layout-level MIDI presets when both are triggered from the same layout action or remote control action. Previously, song presets were sent first, but now layout presets are sent first. This makes it easier to use layout MIDI presets to reset the parameters on a device, before the song-level presets configure it for the next song.
- Updated the Multiple MIDI Buttons layout item to include an option for showing Song, Layout or All presets. You can use this to fine-tune which MIDI presets are available as buttons in your layouts. If you leave this set to All, the layout item will include a divider line between the song-level presets, shown first, and the layout-level presets, shown second.
- For users with Settings > General Settings > Document Size set to Letter, added a Legal size option to the set list share page. This allows you to fit more songs or lyrics on a page by printing on 8.5x14" paper.
- Added MIDI Presets to the list of song fields you can select when sharing a show. This allows you to keep a hard copy of the MIDI presets assigned to each song.
- Updated the Titles Only, One Column Per Set option on the show share page to use the Sets Per Page option. This allows you to print simple columns of song titles split across multiple pages.
- Added a Notes icon to the top toolbar of the show view to display the show's Notes field, if it is populated.
- Added pink and brown to the list of available colors for songs and categories, and adjusted the existing colors for better contrast in both light and dark color themes.

- Updated the show set and song numbering to ignore sets that use the Exclude Duration setting. This allows you to add a brief set for your soundcheck, for example, while the first real set still displays as set 1 and the first song in that set still displays as song 1.
- Updated the Fit to Height option in the document viewer to work with JPEG photos that don't follow standard document sizes. On iOS, this requires iOS 13 or newer.
- Added a Copy Values setting to the custom field edit page. This setting is on by default. If you turn it off for a custom field, then copying an item containing that custom field won't copy that field's value.

- Updated the tempo volume sliders on the Settings > Tempo & Pitch page to scale logarithmically for more noticeable changes. However, your device will continue using the old functionality unless you turn off Help > Utilities > Use Old Volumes.

New Features
- Added alignment options to text fields, including the document viewer (lyrics field), in layouts. This allows you to center all lyrics or right-align a custom field, for example. The alignment buttons have been removed from the song edit page, so alignment can no longer be set at the individual song level. Note that ChordPro positioning only works with normal alignment, and changing the lyrics alignment will throw off manually positioned chords.
- Added a Details field to the pause name edit page. If you enter text here, it will appear in the document viewer when viewing the pause in the show view. You can use this to enter the text of an announcement, for example, and easily access it during a performance. (Currently the only way to view a pause is to step forward from the preceding song using a swipe gesture, a layout action or a remote control action in the show view.)
- Added new options for remote control through live sharing. You can now turn on Follow Lyrics Highlights to mimic lyrics highlighting on the lead device, Follow Set List Selections to select a different show or smart list when the lead device does so, or Follow Completed Songs to mark songs as completed when they are marked on the lead device.
- Updated the layout actions to allow starting a recording or tempo from the Song Selection and triggering another action from a Song Second Selection without stopping the recording or tempo. This requires using the Start Recording or Start Tempo action (instead of Start/Stop Recording or Start/Stop Tempo) and turning on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs.
- Added Toggle Chords, Show Chords and Hide Chords actions to the layout edit details page and the remote control settings page. You can use these to quickly hide or show the Chords field or bracketed chords inside the Lyrics field.
- Added a Change Layout action to the layout edit details page. You can use this cycle through all the currently available layouts, or toggle between two layouts if you only have two available. (You can deactivate layouts to make them unavailable and unselectable with this function.) Note that you will need to add this layout action to every available layout, or else the function will stop working when you reach a layout that does not include it.
- Added support for multiple SoundFont files for SMF playback. You can still set a default SoundFont at Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI SoundFont File, but you can now also override the default by setting a different SoundFont on the recording edit page.
- Added an "…on Song Selection" option after Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Tempo to BeatBuddy. With both of these options turned on, Set List Maker will set the tempo on a connected BeatBuddy when you select a song, without starting the BeatBuddy playback. With this new setting turned off, Set List Maker sets the BeatBuddy tempo and starts playback when you start the tempo function.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Controls Timer Direction to set whether the timer on the recording controls counts up from 0 or counts down from the recording duration. The default is to count up from 0.
- Added Time Signature to the list of filter and sort fields on the smart list edit page, so you can built a smart list filtered or sorted by time signature.
- Updated the Copy to Clipboard function on the show share page to include all the selected fields, not just the song titles.
- Added support for double quotes to specify an exact phrase in the search field on the Databases list.
Usability updates
- Added in-app help. You can now long-click any title on the settings pages, or any toolbar button, to show a brief description of its functionality. To see where in-app help is available, you can optionally click Help > Show Hint Icons, but the in-app help is available whether the hint icons are shown or hidden.
- Updated the layout of song edit page. Buttons like the recording and tempo buttons are now located on the edit pages, so you can preview these functions as you edit, and to make more room in the Songs list for text. Multi-line fields are now resizable by dragging a handle at the bottom of the field, with your chosen size saved automatically. And single-line fields have an auto-complete function that will show previous entries in a selectable popup as you type.
- Made the songs on the show edit songs page clickable, so you can edit songs directly from that page while building a show.
- Added a ChordPro tools button ("[C]") to the lyrics field on the song edit page. If your lyrics contain chords manually spaced above the lyrics lines, this button will move the chords into the lyrics lines with square brackets, for easier editing, more reliable transposing and support for toggling the chords display. If your lyrics already contain square brackets, this button will offer to remove any square brackets that don't surround a chord, to avoid problems from using square brackets to delineate labels like "Verse" and "Chorus."
- Added undo and redo buttons to the Lyrics, Chords and Notes fields, so you can undo individual edits in these fields before saving the page.
- Added a warning if you enter more than 14 lines of text into the Chords field, to avoid the common mistake of putting lyrics into the Chords field.
- Replaced the "casual" lyrics font with a ""monospace, serif" font (Courier), so you now have a serif and a sans-serif monospace option. Also changed the "proportional, sans-serif" lyrics font from Helvetica to San Francisco, the current iOS system font. And the Chords field now uses either a serif or sans-serif font to match the lyrics font (but the Chords field always uses a monospace font).
- In the automation track edit window, added an Add an Event button so you can add events to an automation track directly rather than recording every event. Directly added events will appear after the currently selected event, or at the end of the automation track if no event is selected. You can then adjust the time of the new event if needed.

- Fixed a crash when playing a Highlight Lyrics Line action from an automation track after changing the display from lyrics to an attached document.

- Removed Notes from the list of smart list sort fields, since you cannot see the notes when viewing a smart list.
- Fixed the HTML option when exporting a show; it was ignored in recent versions.
New Features

This requires using the Start Recording or Start Tempo action (instead of Start/Stop Recording or Start/Stop Tempo) and turning on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs.
- Added Toggle Chords, Show Chords and Hide Chords actions to the layout edit details page and the remote control settings page. You can use these to quickly hide or show the Chords field or bracketed chords inside the Lyrics field.

(You can deactivate layouts to make them unavailable and unselectable with this function.) Note that you will need to add this layout action to every available layout, or else the function will stop working when you reach a layout that does not include it.
- Added an "…on Song Selection" option after Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Tempo to BeatBuddy. With both of these options turned on, Set List Maker will set the tempo on a connected BeatBuddy when you select a song, without starting the BeatBuddy playback. With this new setting turned off, Set List Maker sets the BeatBuddy tempo and starts playback when you start the tempo function.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Controls Timer Direction to set whether the timer on the recording controls counts up from 0 or counts down from the recording duration. The default is to count up from 0.

Major New Features
- Added a function for sharing songs. From the show or smart list pages, you can now select either Share Set List to share the list as before, or select Share Songs to share all the songs in the list. When sharing songs, Set List Maker will generate a PDF file with one page for each song. You can use the Appearance and Song Fields options to control what information is included for each song. If a song's default document is a PDF file, the first page of that file will be included instead of any other info. If you've added annotations to the PDF file, those will be included in the combined PDF (stickie notes annotations are not yet included). You can use this function to create a set of lead sheets for a band member who doesn't have a device to use on stage, or for a paper backup.
- Added options for sharing set lists. On the show share page, you can now select Labels to include a header row for each set with labels for each column. You can select Use Database Name to show your database name (typically the same as your band name) at the top of the page instead of your show name; this can be useful when giving your set list to the crew of a festival gig. You can select Show Notes to print the notes from the show details page at the end of the set list. And you can select Date Updated to include a footer with the date the show was last updated; this can be useful to identify the latest version if you've printed multiple versions of a set list. The footer will only appear if the show has been updated with this app version or later.
- Added options for randomizing set lists. While arranging the songs in a show, you can now click the options button in any of the set headings and select Shuffle Songs In Set (or Sort Songs In Set to sort by a song field). While editing a smart list, you can set Sort By to Random and then the smart list will display in a different sequence each time you view it. While viewing a show, you can click the Quick Add button, then click the Random Song button in the Quick Add popup, to show three random songs (tablets only). You can select one of these songs to add it to your show, or keep clicking the Random Song button for additional choices. While viewing a show or a smart list or editing a layout, you can click the Random Song button in the bottom toolbar to select a song at random from your list. You can also assign a remote control action to the Select Random Song function.
- Added options for playing Standard MIDI Files. To play an SMF used to generate audio, you can now attach it to a song the same way you attach other recording formats, then play it the same way you play other recordings (requires the Advanced Audio upgrade). To play an SMF used to send MIDI messages in sync with a recording, you can attach the file to a recording, then play the recording. The SMF will remain in sync even if you pause or skip around in the recording, or change the recording's playback speed. To play an SMF used to send MIDI messages independently of a recording, you can attach the file to a MIDI preset, then send the MIDI preset. The SMF will play until it finishes or until you navigate away from the page you played it from. (Requires iOS 9.)
- Added support for Flic buttons. You can now assign most of the 100+ remote control actions to Flic buttons. Each button can trigger up to three actions, from a click, double-click or hold, and you can set up multiple buttons to trigger different sets of actions. To use a Flic button, click Settings > Remote Control > Connect Flic Button, then select the desired button in the Flic app. Then select actions in Settings > Remote Control > Actions and assign them to one of the Flic button messages.
Other Improvements
- Included annotations with emailed or printed documents when sent from the new song sharing page.
- Moved the document email and export buttons to the document edit page, and added the same buttons to the recording edit page.
- Added separate email and export buttons to the layout edit page.
- Added a manual save button to the bottom toolbar on edit pages. Set List Maker will still auto-save when you leave the page, but you can optionally use this button to save without leaving the page.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Fade Out Recordings. If you set a number of seconds here, clicking a recording button while a recording is playing will fade it out over that duration rather than stopping it immediately. If you click again while the recording is still fading, it will then stop immediately. Clicking a recording button after it has faded out and stopped will restart the recording, rather than resume, as it does without this setting. (Requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.)
- Added skip forward and skip back buttons to the second row of the recording controls layout item. You can configure the skip amount (in seconds) from Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Skip Amount.
- Updated the play/pause button in the recording controls to play the recording from the new song after changing songs with Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs. Previously, the recording button was needed to load the recordings for the new song.
- Updated the next/previous buttons in the recording controls to update the Multiple Recording Buttons to show the current recording.
- Organized the show list with undated shows in the first section, future shows in the second section and a submenu for each past year in the third section.
- Added a color field to the show details edit page, to help organize shows.
- Changed the shortcut menu that appears when clicking the title in the show view. Instead of showing a list of all shows when viewing a show or the list of all smart lists when viewing a smart list, the menu now shows a list of the five most recently viewed shows and the five most recently viewed smart lists. This allows you to quickly switch between shows and smart lists without leaving the show view.
- Added a Preceding Break Duration setting to the Set Name edit page. If you set a duration here, it will override the Time During Breaks setting for the set list. You can use this to set up different lengths for each set break.
- Added a Toolbar Buttons section to the layout Edit Details page, so you can hide toolbar buttons you aren't using, or show the bottom toolbar even if you haven't added any fields to it.
- Added a layout edit button to the bottom toolbar of the show view, for editing the current layout without leaving the show view.
- Updated the Multiple Document, Recording, MIDI, Marker and App Buttons layout items to have resizable content. If you've placed any of these items into the song list, you can click the song list's configuration button and change the Multiple Buttons Size setting. If you've placed any of these items directly into your layout, you can click each item's configuration button and change the Multiple Buttons Size setting.
- Updated the Master Volume layout item to include separate volume sliders for recording, tempo, pitch and video. You can resize this layout item to show more or fewer sliders if needed, then scroll the item to show any hidden sliders. (Requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.) Also, the volume sliders now track values logarithmically for more natural volume adjustments.
- Added a long-press gesture to the play/pause button of the recording controls to select a different recording.
- Added a long-press gesture to the pitch button to select a different pitch.
- Changed the button icons in song layouts to maintain their aspect ratio rather than stretching. If you resize the button wrapper to a wider or narrower aspect ratio, the button will take on a faint background color, and you can still click anywhere in this background to activate the button.
- Made links in custom fields clickable in the show view.
- Added a Multi-Line option for custom fields. When selected, the custom field will allow multiple lines of text entry. When adding a multi-line custom field to a layout, you can resize it and then pinch-zoom it to set the text size (unlike single-line fields where the text size is determined by the field height). When a multi-line custom field appears in a song list or set list, including a shared set list, its content will be collapsed to one line, separated by semicolons.
- Added the Notes field as an option when sharing a set list. Like multi-line custom fields, its content will be collapsed to one line, separated by semicolons.
- Renamed the Bluetooth/USB Keyboard Status window to Remote Control Status, and added remote control activity from MIDI devices to its Activity Log.
- Added a Clear Formatting button (X icon) to the formatting toolbar on the song edit page. This button removes all formatting from the selected text. This button does not appear on phones where there isn't enough room for it.
- Added a Search for Chords button to the song edit page.
- Updated the chord transpose functions to only transpose bracketed chords if any chords are bracketed. This avoids problems where ambiguous lyrics text is inadvertently transposed.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Solid Background to place a solid color background behind the lyrics display instead of the default clear background. This minimizes the colored area when using Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Background Flash.
- Updated smart lists to enable auto-scrolling using the default duration at Settings > General Settings > Defaults > Song Duration for songs that don't have a duration set.
- Updated the icons for the revert button on the edit pages and the item remove, resize and configure buttons on the layout edit page.

6/10/18 - Android version 2.3
Major New Features
- Added a function for sharing songs. From the show or smart list pages, you can now select either Share Set List to share the list as before, or select Share Songs to share all the songs in the list. When sharing songs, Set List Maker will generate a PDF file with one page for each song. You can use the Appearance and Song Fields options to control what information is included for each song. If a song's default document is a PDF file, the first page of that file will be included instead of any other info. If you've added annotations to the PDF file, those will be included in the combined PDF (stickie notes annotations are not yet included). You can use this function to create a set of lead sheets for a band member who doesn't have a device to use on stage, or for a paper backup. (Requires Android 4.4 or newer.)
- Added options for sharing set lists. On the show share page, you can now select Labels to include a header row for each set with labels for each column. You can select Use Database Name to show your database name (typically the same as your band name) at the top of the page instead of your show name; this can be useful when giving your set list to the crew of a festival gig. You can select Show Notes to print the notes from the show details page at the end of the set list. And you can select Date Updated to include a footer with the date the show was last updated; this can be useful to identify the latest version if you've printed multiple versions of a set list. The footer will only appear if the show has been updated with this app version or later.
- Added options for randomizing set lists. While arranging the songs in a show, you can now click the options button in any of the set headings and select Shuffle Songs In Set (or Sort Songs In Set to sort by a song field). While editing a smart list, you can set Sort By to Random and then the smart list will display in a different sequence each time you view it. While viewing a show, you can click the Quick Add button, then click the Random Song button in the Quick Add popup, to show three random songs. You can select one of these songs to add it to your show, or keep clicking the Random Song button for additional choices. While viewing a show or a smart list or editing a layout, you can click the Random Song button in the bottom toolbar to select a song at random from your list. You can also assign a remote control action to the Select Random Song function.
- Added support for Standard MIDI Files for audio. You can now attach an SMF (.mid) file to a song the same way you attach other recording formats, then play it the same way you play other recordings. (Requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.)
- Added support for Flic buttons. You can now assign most of the 100+ remote control actions to Flic buttons. Each button can trigger up to three actions, from a click, double-click or hold, and you can set up multiple buttons to trigger different sets of actions. To use a Flic button, click Settings > Remote Control > Connect Flic Button, then select the desired button in the Flic app. Then select actions in Settings > Remote Control > Actions and assign them to one of the Flic button messages. (Requires Android 4.4.)
Other Improvements
- Included annotations with emailed or printed documents when sent from the new song sharing page.
- Moved the document email and export buttons to the document edit page, and added the same buttons to the recording edit page.
- Added separate email and export buttons to the layout edit page.
- Enabled more app destinations in the send file (email) chooser.
- Added a manual save button to the bottom toolbar on edit pages. Set List Maker will still auto-save when you leave the page, but you can optionally use this button to save without leaving the page.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Fade Out Recordings. If you set a number of seconds here, clicking a recording button while a recording is playing will fade it out over that duration rather than stopping it immediately. If you click again while the recording is still fading, it will then stop immediately. Clicking a recording button after it has faded out and stopped will restart the recording, rather than resume, as it does without this setting. (Requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.)
- Added skip forward and skip back buttons to the second row of the recording controls layout item. You can configure the skip amount (in seconds) from Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Skip Amount.
- Updated the play/pause button in the recording controls to play the recording from the new song after changing songs with Settings > Audio & MIDI > Continue Audio When Changing Songs. Previously, the recording button was needed to load the recordings for the new song.
- Updated the next/previous buttons in the recording controls to update the Multiple Recording Buttons to show the current recording.
- Restored the ability to flash the tempo button while a click sound is playing.
- Organized the show list with undated shows in the first section, future shows in the second section and a submenu for each past year in the third section.
- Added a color field to the show details edit page, to help organize shows.
- Changed the shortcut menu that appears when clicking the title in the show view. Instead of showing a list of all shows when viewing a show or the list of all smart lists when viewing a smart list, the menu now shows a list of the five most recently viewed shows and the five most recently viewed smart lists. This allows you to quickly switch between shows and smart lists without leaving the show view.
- Added a Preceding Break Duration setting to the Set Name edit page. If you set a duration here, it will override the Time During Breaks setting for the set list. You can use this to set up different lengths for each set break.
- Added a Toolbar Buttons section to the layout Edit Details page, so you can hide toolbar buttons you aren't using, or show the bottom toolbar even if you haven't added any fields to it.
- Added a layout edit button to the bottom toolbar of the show view, for editing the current layout without leaving the show view.
- Updated the Multiple Document, Recording, MIDI, Marker and App Buttons layout items to have resizable content. If you've placed any of these items into the song list, you can click the song list's configuration button and change the Multiple Buttons Size setting. If you've placed any of these items directly into your layout, you can click each item's configuration button and change the Multiple Buttons Size setting.
- Updated the Master Volume layout item to include separate volume sliders for recording, tempo, pitch and video. You can resize this layout item to show more or fewer sliders if needed, then scroll the item to show any hidden sliders. (Requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.) Also, the volume sliders now track values logarithmically for more natural volume adjustments.
- Started fading the volume value on the recording edit page if it's more than 100% to indicate that Android devices can't play recordings at more than 100% volume.
- Added a long-press gesture to the play/pause button of the recording controls to select a different recording.
- Added a long-press gesture to the pitch button to select a different pitch.
- Added a search field to the Quick Add popup in the show view.
- Changed the button icons in song layouts to maintain their aspect ratio rather than stretching. If you resize the button wrapper to a wider or narrower aspect ratio, the button will take on a faint background color, and you can still click anywhere in this background to activate the button.
- Made multiple buttons laid out horizontally scrollable in the show view.
- Made links in custom fields clickable in the show view.
- Added a Multi-Line option for custom fields. When selected, the custom field will allow multiple lines of text entry. When adding a multi-line custom field to a layout, you can resize it and then pinch-zoom it to set the text size (unlike single-line fields where the text size is determined by the field height). When a multi-line custom field appears in a song list or set list, including a shared set list, its content will be collapsed to one line, separated by semicolons.
- Added the Notes field as an option when sharing a set list. Like multi-line custom fields, its content will be collapsed to one line, separated by semicolons.
- Right-aligned numeric fields on set lists shared in PDF format.
- Renamed the Bluetooth/USB Keyboard Status window to Remote Control Status, and added remote control activity from MIDI devices to its Activity Log.
- Added a Clear Formatting button (X icon) to the formatting toolbar on the song edit page. This button removes all formatting from the selected text. This button does not appear on phones where there isn't enough room for it.
- Added a Search for Chords button to the song edit page.
- Updated the chord transpose functions to only transpose bracketed chords if any chords are bracketed. This avoids problems where ambiguous lyrics text is inadvertently transposed.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Solid Background to place a solid color background behind the lyrics display instead of the default clear background. This minimizes the colored area when using Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Background Flash.
- Updated smart lists to enable auto-scrolling using the default duration at Settings > General Settings > Defaults > Song Duration for songs that don't have a duration set.
- Updated the icons for the revert button on the edit pages and the item remove, resize and configure buttons on the layout edit page.
- Changed some of the large table buttons to simple clickable rows, and toned down the colors of the remaining buttons.
- Updated the More Controls and Song Info predefined layouts to include song list buttons.
- Turned on a tempo click sound by default for new installations.
- Allowed the app to run in upside-down portrait orientation.

This release adds significant new features. You can watch a demo video with examples, or a condensed version with fewer details.
Major New Features
- Added an option to the Document Viewer layout item to display content in two columns. For the built-in Lyrics field, this will flow the text across both columns. For attached documents, this will display two pages side by side if you also click the document tools button and select Fit to Height. Scrolling, auto-scrolling, up/down hotspots and remote control actions still work the same way when using the two-column layout.
- Added a Marker button to the formatting toolbar for the Lyrics field and an Add a Marker option to the document tools menu for attached documents. You can use these buttons to add markers to your lyrics or documents, and then any paging function in the app -- including the up/down hotspots, remote control actions and the numbered page buttons -- will jump to the markers rather than jumping to the pages. You can also add the new Document Markers item to your layouts, to show a clickable list of the markers you've added. You can rename or delete a marker by clicking it and then selecting the Rename or Delete options. (Markers in the Lyrics field requires iOS 10.)
- Added a double-tap gesture to the left third of the document viewer to highlight the nearest line of lyrics and scroll it to the center of the page. You can create a karaoke-style lyrics display, with each line highlighted in time to the music, by recording these highlight actions in an automation track. (Highlighting lyrics lines requires iOS 10.)
- On the Layouts > Edit Details page, combined the Song Selection Actions and Song Completion Actions into a single list of actions that you can trigger from a song selection, song second selection, two-fingered tap, three-fingered tap or song completion. This allows you to trigger some actions from the first song selection and some from the second selection, and map additional actions to two- and three-fingered taps for quick access to common functions.
- On the Layouts > Edit Details page, added a button to add MIDI presets to layouts. These layout-level presets will be added automatically to every song viewed through that layout, and will be available through the MIDI Button and Multiple MIDI Buttons layout items. They can also be sent from the new Send Layout MIDI layout action (e.g., Song Completion) and remote control action, but will not be sent with the song level presets when using the Send MIDI Presets Together setting.
- Added a Smart Copy function for songs. If you select this option instead of the normal copy function, Set List Maker will create a new song that displays values from the original song unless you override them. This allows you to create a new version of a song with a different key or lyrics, for example, without duplicating all the data in the song. Smart copies will appear grouped beneath the original song in the Songs list and Add Songs window, and you can add either the original or a smart copy to a show. If you make a smart copy from the song edit popup window in the show view, the smart copy will automatically replace the original in the show. If you delete a smart copy, Set List Maker will automatically replace it with the original in any shows that used it. If you delete the base song that has smart copies made from it, Set List Maker will automatically delete all the smart copies along with the original.
- Added a Control Changes section to the MIDI preset edit page. You can use the controller and value fields here to set up outgoing MIDI control change messages, instead of using the Raw MIDI field. This section will only appear if you've defined your MIDI devices on the Settings > MIDI Devices page.
Minor Improvements
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Tempo to Ableton Link. You can use this to send the tempo for each song to a Soundbrenner Pulse. You will need to click Set Up Ableton Link and turn on the Ableton Link setting, then install the Soundbrenner Metronome app and turn on Settings > App Settings > Ableton Link. Then when you play a tempo for a song in Set List Maker, the Soundbrenner Pulse will be updated with the same tempo. You will still need to start and stop the Pulse yourself, and the Pulse tempo will not be synchronized with the Set List Maker tempo. We hope to add deeper integration in the future.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Tempo to BeatBuddy. You can use this to send the tempo for each song to a BeatBuddy drum pedal. When you play a tempo for a song in Set List Maker, the BeatBuddy will be updated with the same tempo and will start playing. You can also stop the tempo in Set List Maker to stop the BeatBuddy. However, the BeatBuddy tempo will not be synchronized with the Set List Maker tempo. You can use the Send MIDI Beat Clock setting instead to synchronize the tempos.
- Updated the layout edit page to make it easier to build layered layouts. The options button for the song list and document viewer now include options for Move To Back, to reveal any items hidden behind these items, and Add Overlapping Item, to add an item over a large song list or document viewer that doesn't leave any empty space in the layout. And the song list and document viewer now appear in a faded style when you add overlapping items, to make it easier to see the other items.
- Updated the document viewer to ignore hot spot and layout action taps within one second of a scroll drag, to avoid accidentally triggering actions while scrolling.
- Added a two-fingered drag gesture to scroll the document viewer while adding annotations.
- Added a Document Scroll Amount setting to the Settings > Remote Control page. You can use this to control the amount of scrolling triggered by the Scroll Document Up and Scroll Document Down remote control actions.
- Updated the page down action for the lyrics field to allow scrolling the last line of lyrics above the bottom of the screen, so the lyrics always move by the same amount even if the last page doesn't fill the screen.
- Updated the Multiple MIDI Buttons layout item to highlight all the song-level MIDI presets when using the Send MIDI Presets Together setting. This will not include layout-level MIDI presets.
- Added a Pair With Preset field to the MIDI preset edit page. If you select a preset here, then a MIDI preset button for this preset will alternately send the original preset and its pair. You can use this to make a MIDI button function as an on/off toggle switch.
- Moved the Bluetooth MIDI connection buttons from the Settings > Audio & MIDI page to the MIDI Status window, which you can open by clicking the MIDI icon in the top toolbar.
- Updated automation tracks to save the page number rather than the scroll position when recording next/previous page actions. This allows the automation track to scroll to the same pages after editing the lyrics or moving markers. Automation tracks recorded before this change will function as they did before.
- Updated automation tracks to save the topmost line number rather than the scroll position when recording manual scroll movements (drags) in the built-in Lyrics field. This allows the automation track to scroll to the same lines after resizing the lyrics text. Automation tracks recorded before this change will function as they did before.
- Updated automation tracks to record separate start/stop events for recordings, tempos and auto-scrolling. This means if the state in which you play the automation track is reversed from the state in which you recorded it, the actions will still play consistently. For example, if you record an automation event to start a tempo, then play that automation track with the tempo already started, the automation event won't stop the tempo. Existing automation tracks will follow the previous behavior, but you can re-record a portion of the automation track to switch it to the new behavior.
- Added an End event that is added to the end of an automation track when you stop recording. You can adjust the timing of this event if needed, and use it to trigger song completion actions. To add End events to existing automation tracks, you can start and then stop recording, then edit the automation track to change the time of the newly added End event. If you overdub onto an automation track that already has an End event, the existing event will be unchanged unless you keep recording past its time, in which case it will be moved to the later stop time.
- Removed the Triggered By setting for song completion actions from the layout details page. Song completion actions are now triggered by the end of the recording, or the end of the automation track if no recording is playing, or the defined song duration if no automation track is playing.
- Added an Ignore Time Between Songs setting to the layout details page. This allows you to set up a layout that auto-plays through your songs without any gap between songs, which is useful for previewing a set list before a performance.
- Added Scroll Song List Up and Scroll Song List Down remote control actions. You can use these to scroll your song list without changing the selected song.
- Added Next MIDI Preset or Song and Previous MIDI Preset or Song remote control actions. You can use these to step through your presets, and step through your songs, with the same remote controller button.
- Added a Numeric option to custom fields. If selected, the custom field values will be sorted as numbers (e.g., 9 will appear before 50).
- Added Search for Lyrics and Search for Song Facts buttons to the song edit page. These simply launch a web search for the title and artist of the song.
- Highlighted the document tools button when first viewing the document viewer, then faded it to a more subtle color after a few seconds.
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Recording Timer Direction to control whether the timer on the recording button counts up or down.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Break Timer and Settings > Appearance > Pause Timer to show a countdown timer on the break and pause pages in the show view. The timer will turn red when it reaches the end of the planned break or pause duration.
- Updated the ChordPro formatting functionality to process any text surrounded by square brackets, not just chords.
- Added a Hide/Show Bracketed Chords option to the document tools button to hide or show bracketed chords from within the show view. This replaces the Hidden option for Settings > Appearance > Bracketed Chords.
- Updated the Multiple MIDI Buttons, Multiple Document Buttons, Multiple Recording Buttons and Multiple App Buttons layout items to allow horizontal or vertical scrolling to view any buttons that aren't visible. You can scroll the buttons manually, or if you select a corresponding button through another means, the corresponding button will scroll into view automatically.
- Updated the show view to include the Quick Add button for read-only users, but additions to the show will not be saved when leaving the show view.
- Changed the selected song color in the song list from blue to gray to avoid conflicting with song colors.
- Updated the Page Buttons in layouts to update immediately when changing pages, eliminating the previous short delay.
- Updated the Toggle Fit to Height option in the document tools menu to say either Fit to Height or Fit to Width, to indicate the current state.
- Added the last-used layout marker to the Layouts list, to make it easier to navigate between viewing and editing a layout.
- Added a half-diminished symbol to the toolbar that appears above the keyboard for the Lyrics and Chords fields.
- Reduced the height of the Lyrics fields to reduce the need to scroll the page while editing them.
- Updated the Help > Utilities > Update All Formatted Text button to remove old formatting that caused the database export function to crash.
- Improved the app's ability to read TXT files with non-UTF encodings attached to songs. However, UTF-8 is still the recommended encoding.
- Added Clear Log buttons to the MIDI Status window and Bluetooth/USB Keyboard Status window.
- Updated the Bluetooth remote control to respond at the full repeat rate of the controller. Previously, the repeat rate was throttled to avoid duplicate messages.
- Renamed the Connect AirTurn PED button to Connect AirDirect AirTurn to match AirTurn's new terminology.
- Updated the launch sequence to navigate into the database only if there is no more than one database.
- Added a more targeted error message if Set List Maker can't sync because of a captive wi-fi network.
- Added the name of the source device to the confirmation message when importing a database.

- Restored missing song colors in the bottom toolbar of the show view.
- Updated the delete button on the Settings > General Settings page so nothing is deleted if you click the copy button, then click the delete button before saving the copy.
10/30/17 - Android version 2.2
This release adds significant new features. You can watch a demo video with examples, or a condensed version with fewer details.
Major New Features
- Added an option to the Document Viewer layout item to display content in two columns. For the built-in Lyrics field, this will flow the text across both columns. For attached documents, this will display two pages side by side if you also click the document tools button and select Fit to Height. Scrolling, auto-scrolling, up/down hotspots and remote control actions still work the same way when using the two-column layout.
- Added a Marker button to the formatting toolbar for the Lyrics field and an Add a Marker option to the document tools menu for attached documents. You can use these buttons to add markers to your lyrics or documents, and then any paging function in the app -- including the up/down hotspots, remote control actions and the numbered page buttons -- will jump to the markers rather than jumping to the pages. You can also add the new Document Markers item to your layouts, to show a clickable list of the markers you've added. You can rename or delete a marker by clicking it and then selecting the Rename or Delete options.
- Added a double-tap gesture to the left third of the document viewer to highlight the nearest line of lyrics and scroll it to the center of the page. You can create a karaoke-style lyrics display, with each line highlighted in time to the music, by recording these highlight actions in an automation track.
- On the Layouts > Edit Details page, combined the Song Selection Actions and Song Completion Actions into a single list of actions that you can trigger from a song selection, song second selection, two-fingered tap, three-fingered tap or song completion. This allows you to trigger some actions from the first song selection and some from the second selection, and map additional actions to two- and three-fingered taps for quick access to common functions.
- On the Layouts > Edit Details page, added a button to add MIDI presets to layouts. These layout-level presets will be added automatically to every song viewed through that layout, and will be available through the MIDI Button and Multiple MIDI Buttons layout items. They can also be sent from the new Send Layout MIDI layout action (e.g., Song Completion) and remote control action, but will not be sent with the song level presets when using the Send MIDI Presets Together setting.
- Added a Smart Copy function for songs. If you select this option instead of the normal copy function, Set List Maker will create a new song that displays values from the original song unless you override them. This allows you to create a new version of a song with a different key or lyrics, for example, without duplicating all the data in the song. Smart copies will appear grouped beneath the original song in the Songs list and Add Songs window, and you can add either the original or a smart copy to a show. If you make a smart copy from the song edit popup window in the show view, the smart copy will automatically replace the original in the show. If you delete a smart copy, Set List Maker will automatically replace it with the original in any shows that used it. If you delete the base song that has smart copies made from it, Set List Maker will automatically delete all the smart copies along with the original.
- Added a Control Changes section to the MIDI preset edit page. You can use the controller and value fields here to set up outgoing MIDI control change messages, instead of using the Raw MIDI field. This section will only appear if you've defined your MIDI devices on the Settings > MIDI Devices page.
Android-Only Updates
- Added a native Android MIDI framework for smoother connections with USB and Bluetooth MIDI interfaces (but no support for RTP MIDI). To use the new framework, turn off Help > Utilities > Use Old MIDI Framework. (Requires Android 6 and a device that supports the android.media.midi framework.)
- Added a Connect to a Bluetooth Device button to the MIDI Status window, which you can open by clicking the MIDI icon in the top toolbar. This allows you to use Bluetooth MIDI interfaces like the Yamaha MD-BT01 or the Quicco mi.1. (Requires Android 6 and only appears if the new MIDI framework is enabled.)
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send MIDI Beat Clock to synchronize other apps or devices with Set List Maker's tempo player. (Requires Android 6 and only appears if the new MIDI framework is enabled.)
- Changed the document and set list print buttons to use the build-in Android print manager instead of the Cloud Print interface for Android 4.4 and above.
- Added support for JPEG files in the document viewer.
Minor Improvements
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Send Tempo to BeatBuddy. You can use this to send the tempo for each song to a BeatBuddy drum pedal. When you play a tempo for a song in Set List Maker, the BeatBuddy will be updated with the same tempo and will start playing. You can also stop the tempo in Set List Maker to stop the BeatBuddy. However, the BeatBuddy tempo will not be synchronized with the Set List Maker tempo. You can use the Send MIDI Beat Clock setting instead to synchronize the tempos.
- Updated the layout edit page to make it easier to build layered layouts. The options button for the song list and document viewer now include options for Move To Back, to reveal any items hidden behind these items, and Add Overlapping Item, to add an item over a large song list or document viewer that doesn't leave any empty space in the layout. And the song list and document viewer now appear in a faded style when you add overlapping items, to make it easier to see the other items.
- Updated the document viewer to ignore hot spot and layout action taps within one second of a scroll drag, to avoid accidentally triggering actions while scrolling.
- Added a two-fingered drag gesture to scroll the document viewer while adding annotations.
- Added a Document Scroll Amount setting to the Settings > Remote Control page. You can use this to control the amount of scrolling triggered by the Scroll Document Up and Scroll Document Down remote control actions.
- Updated the page down action for the lyrics field to allow scrolling the last line of lyrics above the bottom of the screen, so the lyrics always move by the same amount even if the last page doesn't fill the screen.

- Added a Pair With Preset field to the MIDI preset edit page. If you select a preset here, then a MIDI preset button for this preset will alternately send the original preset and its pair. You can use this to make a MIDI button function as an on/off toggle switch.

This allows the automation track to scroll to the same pages after editing the lyrics or moving markers. Automation tracks recorded before this change will function as they did before.
- Updated automation tracks to save the topmost line number rather than the scroll position when recording manual scroll movements (drags) in the built-in Lyrics field. This allows the automation track to scroll to the same lines after resizing the lyrics text. Automation tracks recorded before this change will function as they did before.
- Updated automation tracks to record separate start/stop events for recordings, tempos and auto-scrolling. This means if the state in which you play the automation track is reversed from the state in which you recorded it, the actions will still play consistently. For example, if you record an automation event to start a tempo, then play that automation track with the tempo already started, the automation event won't stop the tempo. Existing automation tracks will follow the previous behavior, but you can re-record a portion of the automation track to switch it to the new behavior.

- Updated the document viewer to display the contents of attached .txt files as if they're saved in the built-in lyrics field. This means your text will adopt the app color theme, and you can change the font size, set a chord color and transpose the chords, but you cannot edit the text inside the app.

- Added a Numbering setting to the MIDI device edit page, to specify whether a device labels its values from 0-127 or 1-128. The default is 0-127; if you have a device that numbers program changes from 1-128, you can change this to make it easier to enter values on the MIDI preset edit page.

The disadvantages of these settings are decreased battery life and an inability to use long press gesture on the recording button without starting playback.
- Changed Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Downbeat Sound to include all the tempo sounds, and reworked the tempo player so that only the Bell sound overlaps with the main click sound.

Navigation Updates
- Reworked the set list and smart list navigation. After selecting a set list or smart list, a new navigation level now appears with options to view the set list or smart list with a compatible layout, or edit or share the list.
- Reworked the layout navigation. The layouts button in the show view is gone. Instead, you can select the desired layout after selecting a set list or smart list, and can change layouts by tapping the back button from the show view and then selecting a different layout. To edit a layout, you can navigate to the Repertoire > Layouts list, select a layout, then edit the details (name, users, song selection and completion actions) or layout (buttons, fields, documents).
- Updated song layouts to contain song selection and completion actions. Song selection and completion actions are no longer set for your whole account on the Settings > Automation page. Instead, they are located on the Repertoire > Layouts > [layout name] > Edit Details page. This allows you to set up different automation behavior for different layouts. Along with this change, the auto-scroll settings have been moved from Settings > Automation to Settings > General Settings.
- Updated song layouts to contain a movable and resizable song list. Instead of the song list being fixed to the left side of the screen, you can now add the song list at any location and size in your layout. You can even place the song list over other items, then use the Hide Song List song selection action or the Toggle Song List remote control action to reveal them. To configure the appearance of the song list (text size, buttons, fields), you can tap the configure button on the song list while editing a layout. You can also now select songs in the song list while editing a layout to preview the layout with different songs.
- Updated the editing behavior of song layouts. Layout items no longer show their remove, resize, rotate and configure buttons by default, but you can tap an item to show the buttons, or tap the background to return all the items to the default state. You can simply drag an item to move it, or drag an area to select multiple items, then move or configure them together.
- Moved the help menu from the main menu to the top toolbar. The new help icon in the top toolbar gives quick access to tech support info, a new screen shot submission button, and a new What Now button that recommends ways to get more out of Set List Maker.
Design Updates
- On narrow displays (e.g., phones in portrait orientation), split the top toolbar into two lines with the utility buttons on the first line and the other items on the second line. If you prefer to keep all the items on one line, you can go to Settings > Appearance > Top Toolbar Buttons and turn on no more than one button.
Miscellaneous Updates
- Added Box and Line to the list of items you can add to a song layout. This allows you to visually organize and improve the appearance of your layouts. Boxes have a background color and always appear behind other items. Lines can be horizontal or vertical depending on how you size them.
- Updated the screen sharing functionality to follow the Settings > General Settings > External Display and Settings > General Settings > External Display Rotation settings. This means you can broadcast only the document viewer to the following device, or mount the following device in a different orientation from the lead device.
- Added a Document +1 option to Settings > General Settings > External Display. With this option selected, you can view a different document on your device screen and an external display or following device. Set List Maker will show the selected document on the device screen and the next attached document on the external display or following device. Videos are considered documents, so this means you can view a document on the device screen and a video on an external display at the same time. However, videos will not play on following devices via screen sharing using this method.
- Added Settings > General Settings > External Display > Pagination. With the Alternating option selected and the external display content set to Document, Set List Maker will show one page of a document on the device screen and the next page on the external display or following device. This allows you to view two documents of a multi-page document at once if you mount two devices or screens next to each other.
- Updated the foot switch button in the top toolbar to open a Bluetooth/USB Keyboard Status window similar to the MIDI Status window. You can start and stop keyboard input or monitor incoming keyboard or AirTurn PED messages from this window. The foot switch button now appears on every page of the app, even though remote control messages are still only used in the show view. And the foot switch button now turns on automatically when you enter the show view if any related remote control actions are set up.
- Reorganized the Settings > Remote Control page to list all the available remote control actions, with popup windows to select which Bluetooth or MIDI messages should trigger those actions. This makes it easier to see which actions are available, and allows you to trigger multiple actions with the same message. Also, the remote control options for live sharing are moved to the Settings > Live Sharing page.
- Added a remote control action to play or pause a video.
- Updated the document viewer to maintain its scroll position when toggling in and out of full-screen mode.

- Locked the sync name field on the Settings > Database Sync page to prevent changing the sync name without first contacting the developer, which is required to avoid causing sync problems.

- Updated the document viewer to allow shrinking a document to fit by height when the aspect ratio of the viewer is greater than the aspect ratio of the document (e.g., when viewing a portrait document on a landscape screen). If you select Toggle Fit to Height from the document tools menu, or pinch-zoom a document smaller than 2/3 of the screen height, it will snap to this reduced size, and subsequent documents will use the same sizing.

- Stopped showing annotations for documents that aren't installed on the device.

- Added Settings > Automation > Song Selection Actions > Trigger on Second Selection. With this setting enabled, the song selection actions don't run the first time you select a song.

You could use this setting in conjunction with Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Continue Audio When Changing Songs if you want to browse the songs in your show without interrupting a recording that is still playing for the current song.

Major new features
- Added support for attaching videos to songs. Set List Maker now treats H.264 or MPEG-4 video files with mp4, m4v or 3gp extensions as documents that you can attach to songs. The videos will display in the document viewer when a song is selected, and will auto-play if you turn on Settings > Automation > Song Selection Actions > Play Video. You can toggle videos in and out of full-screen mode by selecting Toggle Full Screen in the document tools menu. Attaching videos requires the Videos upgrade.
- Added a button to record audio notes for songs. You will see the Record button if your layout includes the Recording Controls item. When you tap the button, it will highlight to show that recording is ready, and the recording location slider will change to a level meter. You can then tap the Play button to start recording, and the Stop button to stop recording. You will then be prompted to enter a name for the recording. These recordings are available throughout your database, so you should enter something like "Freebird Intro" instead of just "Intro" to identify the recording later. Recordings will be saved in M4A (MP4 audio) format. Like other recordings, audio notes will not automatically sync across devices, but you can manually copy them to other devices to access them there. This feature requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.
- Added recording speed and looping controls to the recording toolbar. You can now drag a slider to change the recording playback speed from half speed to double speed, and set start and end points for looping a section of the recording. Note that the looping functionality is designed for practicing, not for performance (loop start/end points are only accurate to the nearest second, and setting loops is not remote-controllable). Speed adjustment requires Android 6 and the Advanced Audio upgrade.
- Added pitch shift options for playing recordings. When you edit a recording in the Recordings list, you can now enter values for Pitch Shift (Coarse), measured in half steps, and Pitch Shift (Fine), measured in cents. Set List Maker will then adjust the pitch when it plays that recording anywhere in the app. This feature is designed for practicing; if you need to pitch shift backing tracks for use on stage, you might still need to edit your files with dedicated audio software and then add the edited files to Set List Maker. Pitch shifting requires Android 6 and the Advanced Audio upgrade.

Major new features
- Updated for compatibility with iOS 9.
- Added support for attaching videos to songs. Set List Maker now treats H.264 or MPEG-4 video files with mp4, m4v, mov or 3gp extensions as documents that you can attach to songs. The videos will display in the document viewer when a song is selected, and will auto-play if you turn on Settings > Automation > Song Selection Actions > Play Video. You can toggle videos in and out of full-screen mode by double-tapping the center of the video, or by tapping the full-screen button in the toolbar at the bottom of the video. This feature requires the Videos upgrade.
- Added an option to show only the document viewer on an external display. If you change Settings > General Settings > External Display to Document, an external display will mirror your screen as before until you view a show, then it will show the contents of the document viewer (an attached document, video or lyrics and chords) in full-screen mode. Your show layout does not need to include a document viewer to use this feature, so you could view a list-only layout or other information on your iOS display and a document on your external display. Unfortunately, iOS limits the options for video playback, so if you are viewing a video in the document viewer, it will only appear on the external display. If you want to view a video on both the iOS device and the external display, you will need to leave Settings > General Settings > External Display set to Mirror.
- Added a button to record audio notes for songs. You will see the Record button if your layout includes the Recording Controls item. When you tap the button, it will highlight to show that recording is ready, and the recording location slider will change to a level meter. You can then tap the Play button to start recording, and the Stop button to stop recording. You will then be prompted to enter a name for the recording. These recordings are available throughout your database, so you should enter something like "Freebird Intro" instead of just "Intro" to identify the recording later. Recordings will be saved in AAC format in iOS 7 or later and AIFF format in earlier iOS versions. Like other recordings, audio notes will not automatically sync across devices, but you can manually copy them to other devices to access them there. This feature requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.
- Added an option to attach local recording files to songs instead of only using recordings in the iTunes music library. You can now copy recordings into the app using Open In... or iTunes File Sharing, just as you do with documents, then attach them to your songs. You can still attach recordings from the iTunes music library and use any combination of local and iTunes recordings. From the song edit window, tap Add Recordings and then tap Local to select local recordings or iTunes to select iTunes recordings. This feature requires the Advanced Audio upgrade.
- Updated the multi-route audio functionality to target specific channels on multi-channel ports. The output settings in Settings > Audio & MIDI now let you select specific channels, so you can use all the channels on your audio interface. For recordings, you will now need to select a left and right output channel separately. If you are currently using the multi-route output settings, you will need to connect your audio interface and re-enter these settings. This feature requires the Advanced Audio upgrade unless you installed the app before version 4.2.
- Updated the recording, tempo and pitch players to use a higher-performance audio engine. This should lead to lower latency when starting audio, and greater accuracy with tempo clicks. If you have problems playing audio with the new engine, you can revert to the old engine with Help > Troubleshooting > Use Old Audio Engine, but please contact technical support if you need to do this so that any problems can be addressed in a future version. (requires iOS 8)
- Made the recording, tempo and pitch audio available to other apps via Inter-App Audio. This allows you to route audio from Set List Maker into mixer or effects apps running on the same device. This feature requires the Advanced Audio upgrade. (requires iOS 8)
- Added the ability to customize and add new smart lists. You can now edit or delete the existing smart lists, or add new smart lists, and select a combination of criteria to filter the songs that appear for that smart list. For example, you could create a smart list that shows all songs marked red that have been performed fewer than 5 times, sorted by the date last performed.
- Added app shortcut buttons. If you often need to switch quickly from Set List Maker to another app, you can enter that app in the Settings > Apps list. You will need to enter the app's name and URL scheme, which you can get by asking that app's developer (not all apps have URL schemes, but the app developer might add it if requested). Then you can add App Button or Multiple App Buttons to your show layouts to display a button that opens that app. You can also open defined apps by mapping a remote control action to the app number, or by recording a button press as part of an automation track.
- Added a set of text entry tools to the document annotation toolbar. If you select one of the four colors of text tools and tap the document, a colored text field will appear. You can type into the field, drag the bottom corners to resize and rotate it, and pinch-zoom to resize the text inside of it. The annotation toolbar also includes new black pen and pink highlighter tools.
- Added the ability to add annotations for songs that don't have a document attached. If your show layout includes the document viewer and is showing the document placeholder page, you can now open the annotation toolbar and add annotations directly to the placeholder. They will be saved and synced with your song just as if they were added to a document.
Minor new features
- Added a document tools button to the top right corner of the document viewer, to access the zoom level save and reset functions, the annotation functions and the document full-screen function. This replaces the document toolbar that used to be accessible by single-tapping the center of the document. The double-tap shortcut to toggle the full-screen function still remains.
- Added Import buttons to the Documents and Recordings lists. You can use these buttons to select files from other apps, if the other apps allow third-party access. You can also select files saved in your iCloud Drive account. Selected files will be copied into Set List Maker so you can attach them to your songs. This works similarly to the Open In function, except you initiate it within Set List Maker instead of within the other app. (requires iOS 8)
- Added functions to create songs from ChordPro and OnSong documents. From the Songs list, you can tap the Import button, then tap ChordPro or OnSong, then select a file, or you can use the Open In function in another app to send the file to Set List Maker. (On iOS 7 and older, Open In is the only option.) Set List Maker will then create a new song using the name, lyrics and other data from the selected file.
- Added functions to share song layouts between devices. From the Layout menu in the show view, you can tap Email to send the layout as an email attachment. Then on another device, you can tap Import and select the layout you want to import, or you can use the Open In function in another app to send the layout to Set List Maker. (On iOS 7 and older, Open In is the only option.) Layouts are transferable between iOS and Android and between Set List Maker and BandHelper, but you can only import layouts that use the same screen size as your device.
- Reworked the relationship between MIDI devices and MIDI presets. Instead of setting the port that a MIDI program change is sent to at the MIDI preset level, you can now define it at the device level. This means that if you need to change your MIDI port setup, you only need to update your MIDI devices, not all your MIDI presets. It also means that one MIDI preset can include program changes for multiple ports. When you edit a MIDI preset, you will now see a program change row for each MIDI device you have defined, regardless of what ports they use. You will also see a MIDI Device setting for the Raw MIDI field, to send the raw MIDI to a specific device (but sending different raw MIDI to different devices will still require separate presets). If you have not defined any MIDI devices, MIDI presets will include a single port setting and one program change row for each channel as they did before.
- Added a MIDI Status window that appears if you tap the MIDI button in the top toolbar. You can use this to view a list of connected ports, monitor MIDI connection and communication activity, and start and stop Set List Maker's MIDI engine.
- Added support for Core MIDI over Bluetooth. With this feature, you can transmit MIDI between iOS and Mac devices with no additional hardware. To send MIDI to another device, tap Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Connect to a Bluetooth Device, then select the destination device. To receive MIDI from another device, tap Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Allow Connects From Bluetooth Devices, then turn on Advertise MIDI Service, and while this option is still visible, connect to this device from the source device.
- Added support for the AirTurn PED in "PED-APP-Direct mode" (mode 1). With your PED in this mode, you do not need to pair with your iOS device in the Settings app (and you should "forget" the PED from the settings app if you have previously paired it there). Instead, you can go to Settings > Remote Control > Bluetooth/USB Keyboard Messages in Set List Maker, tap Set Up AirTurn PED, turn on Enable AirTurn PED, and then select your PED from the list when it appears. By default, a PED will send messages 1 and 3 to Set List Maker. If you want to use multiple PEDs, you can select each PED from the Set Up AirTurn PED button, then define the messages (0-9) that you want the two buttons on each PED to send. You can then use up to five PEDs at once, sending a total of ten different messages. Unlike with other Bluetooth remote control devices, Set List Maker will respond to messages from the PED while it is in the background. (requires iOS 7)
- Added shortcuts to help edit the sequence of a show. When you edit the songs in a show, each song, pause and set heading will now include a "more" icon (three dots). Tapping this icon shows options to move songs to the start or end of the show, the start or end of the set or the next or previous set, or to move entire sets up or down relative to the other sets. You can also use these buttons to select custom set and pause names, instead of tapping the set or pause row as before.
- Added a More button that you can select in Settings > Appearance > Song Buttons in Narrow Lists, or add to the song detail or set list area of a song layout. This button gives access to the basic functions of the Documents, Recordings, MIDI, Notes, Tempo, Pitch and Automation buttons if those buttons are not otherwise visible. This allows you to remove infrequently used buttons from a layout without losing access to them completely.
- Added a Duration field to the Pause Name edit page. If you set a duration here, then use the pause name in a show, this duration will be used instead of the show's default pause duration to calculate the total show duration.
- Added an Exclude From Total Duration option to the Set Name edit page. If you select this option, then use the set name in a show, the duration of that entire set will not be included when calculating the total show duration. This is useful if you want to include a set containing a few extra songs at the end of your set list, without affecting the total duration.
- Added a Pan setting to the recording edit page. Entering a negative value pans your recording to the left and entering a positive value pans it to the right. Panning a stereo recording doesn't mean that sound from one channel will move to the other channel; it simply means that the relative volume of the two channels will be adjusted.
- Added default document, recording and MIDI preset settings to the Settings > General Settings page. If you enter a number here, then whenever you view a document, play a recording or send a MIDI preset, Set List Maker will use the item at the specified position instead of the first item. For example, if you always attach a vocal chart, a horn chart and a drum chart to every song in that order, then you change Settings > General Settings > Document to 2, the horn chart will always appear by default. This allows each member of your band to configure which item they see without reordering all the items. If the number of items attached to a song is less than the number you entered, the first item will appear by default.
- Added Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options > Send Beat Clock to Port, to send the MIDI beat clock only to the specified port. Otherwise, it will be sent to all available ports.
- Added a Quarter Note Triplets option to the Tempo Subdivisions setting on the song edit page, and added a Tempo Subdivision Pan setting to the Settings > Tempo & Pitch page. (requires iOS 8)
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Receive MIDI in Background, to allow the app to remain running in the background in order to receive incoming MIDI messages. This setting will only take effect if you exit the app while viewing a show. Since an app running in the background uses more power than an app that is allowed to go to sleep normally, you should be careful to navigate out of a show before exiting the app when you are finished using the app.
- Added a settings button to field items in song layouts. This button opens a settings window where you can add a label showing the name of that field, or set a color that is applied to the field.
- Added +1 and +2 field items for the main area of a song layout. This allows you to customize your layout to show information about upcoming songs in the main area as well as the bottom toolbar.
- Added Remaining Set Time and Projected Set Completion Time field items for the bottom toolbar of a song layout. This allows you to track the remaining time of the current set as well as the entire show.
- Added Song Number and Set Number field items for the bottom toolbar of a song layout. The song number will restart for each set if you turn on Restart Song Numbering Per Set in the layout settings.
- Updated the title fields in song layouts to show the color of the current song, if the Colors option is enabled for the layout.
- Updated the song layouts to always place the document viewer below other items. This allows you to reliably layer buttons on top of of the document viewer if desired. In this case, the buttons will appear with a translucent background to ensure they are visible against light or dark document backgrounds.
- Added divider between the lyrics and chords in the document viewer. You can tap this divider to hide the chords or tap it again to show the chords. This is useful if some members of your band want to see the chords entered for songs and other members want to hide the chords.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Bracketed Chords, with three options to control the display of chords intermingled with lyrics and surrounded by square brackets. Above colors the chords and places them on a separate line above the lyrics, which was the previous default behavior. Inline colors the chords but leaves them on the same lines as the lyrics. Hidden hides the chords. This is useful if some members of your band want to see the chords within the lyrics and other members want to hide the chords.
- Added support for solfege chord names in lyrics. If your lyrics include solfege chord names surrounded by square brackets, Set List Maker will position them above your lyrics, color them with the Settings > Appearance > Chords Color and transpose them if you tap the transpose buttons on the song edit or show view page. Set List Maker supports title case or upper case names (Do or DO) and supports Si or Ti for the seventh note when positioning and coloring, but only supports Si when transposing.
- Updated the Chords field, and the Lyrics field when the monospace font is selected, to display a simple "b" character instead of the real flat symbol. This is because the flat symbol is not included in the monospace font, and the fallback font throws off the text alignment. You can still use real flat symbols when editing your chords, in case the flat symbol is supported better in future OS versions and this workaround is removed.
- Updated the document viewer to show the swipe animation when swiping to change songs in full-screen mode.
- Updated the show view to skip the start page if the only song selection action is Close Song List.
- Updated the show view to display the show name instead of START in the top toolbar when viewing a show in a song-only layout with any song selection actions enabled.
- Updated the notes button on the iPhone to show notes in a popup with clickable links.
- Added the day of the week to the dates in the Shows and Events lists.
- Added the number of sets for each show in the Shows list.
- Displayed pause names in bold and made the background row color darker in shared set lists. Also, made the yellow text color slightly darker.
- Showed the automation buttons in the song layouts by default, even if the Automation Tracks upgrade has not been purchased. If you don't wish to see these buttons, you can edit your layout and remove the automation button.
- Stripped surrounding quotes from values in the song and MIDI preset import files. These tab-delimited values should not be quoted, but now Set List Maker will remove the quotes if they are there.
- Removed the Settings > General Settings > Show iCloud Recordings setting. Set List Maker will no longer show recordings that have not been downloaded to the device.
- Updated lists and forms to use larger text sizes set in the Settings app under Display & Brightness or Accessibility.
Bug fixes
- Fixed the ChordPro formatting to display the last line of lyrics when it does not end with a line break.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when sending MIDI notes to the app in a database that has never had any remote control actions defined.
- Updated the Play First Two Recordings Together function so that if the first recording is trimmed, its trim values are not applied to the second recording.
- Fixed erratic behavior if you play a recording that you have trimmed by more than its total duration.
- Updated the spacing of shared set lists to more closely match the on-screen preview.
- Fixed the position of a pause in shared set lists if it is the first item in a set.
- Removed HTML formatting tags from the set list share emails sent from an iPad.
- Correctly saved the sort value in the recording and document picker windows.
- Updated the tempo button to return the cell to the selected state when finished, if playing from a selected cell.
- Updated the document button to avoid showing the scroll icon beneath the auto-scroll timer when using a song selection action to start auto-scrolling.
- Where a circled arrow icon appears on a row of an edit page, made the icon as well as the table cell clickable.
- Updated the sync functionality to avoid creating duplicate items if you add a new item while a previous new item is still uploading.
- Restored the song colors to the top toolbar title of the show view when Colors are enabled for the layout.
- In the show view on an iPhone, disabled iOS's default swipe gesture to navigate to the previous page, to prevent interfering with the swipe gesture to change songs.
- Preserved the placeholder text when switching an empty document viewer to full-screen mode.
- Adjusted the background color of popovers in the light color theme for greater contrast.
- Changed the text color of selected segmented buttons in the light color theme for greater contrast.
Major new features
- Added the ability to customize and add new smart lists. You can now edit or delete the existing smart lists, or add new smart lists, and select a combination of criteria to filter the songs that appear for that smart list. For example, you could create a smart list that shows all songs marked red that have been performed fewer than 5 times, sorted by the date last performed.
- Added app shortcut buttons. If you often need to switch quickly from Set List Maker to another app, you can enter that app in the Settings > Apps list. You will need to enter the app's name and package name, which you can get by asking that app's developer. Then you can add App Button or Multiple App Buttons to your show layouts to display a button that opens that app. You can also open defined apps by mapping a remote control action to the app number, or by recording a button press as part of an automation track.
- Added a set of text entry tools to the document annotation toolbar. If you select one of the four colors of text tools and tap the document, a colored text field will appear. You can type into the field, drag the bottom corners to resize and rotate it, and pinch-zoom to resize the text inside of it. The annotation toolbar also includes new black pen and pink highlighter tools.
- Added the ability to add annotations for songs that don't have a document attached. If your show layout includes the document viewer and is showing the document placeholder page, you can now open the annotation toolbar and add annotations directly to the placeholder. They will be saved and synced with your song just as if they were added to a document.
Minor new features
- Added a document tools button to the top right corner of the document viewer, to access the zoom level save and reset functions, the annotation functions and the document full-screen function. This replaces the document toolbar that used to be accessible by single-tapping the center of the document. The double-tap shortcut to toggle the full-screen function still remains.
- Added functions to create songs from ChordPro and OnSong documents. From the Songs list, you can tap the Import button, then tap ChordPro or OnSong, then select a file saved on your device. Set List Maker will then create a new song using the name, lyrics and other data from the selected file.
- Added functions to share song layouts between devices. From the Layout menu in the show view, you can tap Email to send the layout as an email attachment. Then on another device, you can tap Import and select the layout you want to import, or you can use the Open In function in another app to send the layout to Set List Maker. (On iOS 7 and older, Open In is the only option.) Layouts are transferable between iOS and Android and between Set List Maker and BandHelper, but you can only import layouts that use the same screen size as your device.
- Reworked the relationship between MIDI devices and MIDI presets. Instead of setting the port that a MIDI program change is sent to at the MIDI preset level, you can now define it at the device level. This means that if you need to change your MIDI port setup, you only need to update your MIDI devices, not all your MIDI presets. It also means that one MIDI preset can include program changes for multiple ports. When you edit a MIDI preset, you will now see a program change row for each MIDI device you have defined, regardless of what ports they use. You will also see a MIDI Device setting for the Raw MIDI field, to send the raw MIDI to a specific device (but sending different raw MIDI to different devices will still require separate presets). If you have not defined any MIDI devices, MIDI presets will include a single port setting and one program change row for each channel as they did before.
- Added shortcuts to help edit the sequence of a show. When you edit the songs in a show, each song, pause and set heading will now include a "more" icon (three dots). Tapping this icon shows options to move songs to the start or end of the show, the start or end of the set or the next or previous set, or to move entire sets up or down relative to the other sets. You can also use these buttons to select custom set and pause names, instead of tapping the set or pause row as before.
- Added a More button that you can select in Settings > Appearance > Song Buttons in Narrow Lists, or add to the song detail or set list area of a song layout. This button gives access to the basic functions of the Documents, Recordings, MIDI, Notes, Tempo, Pitch and Automation buttons if those buttons are not otherwise visible. This allows you to remove infrequently used buttons from a layout without losing access to them completely.
- Added a Duration field to the Pause Name edit page. If you set a duration here, then use the pause name in a show, this duration will be used instead of the show's default pause duration to calculate the total show duration.
- Added an Exclude From Total Duration option to the Set Name edit page. If you select this option, then use the set name in a show, the duration of that entire set will not be included when calculating the total show duration. This is useful if you want to include a set containing a few extra songs at the end of your set list, without affecting the total duration.
- Added a Pan setting to the recording edit page. Entering a negative value pans your recording to the left and entering a positive value pans it to the right. Panning a stereo recording doesn't mean that sound from one channel will move to the other channel; it simply means that the relative volume of the two channels will be adjusted.
- Added default document, recording and MIDI preset settings to the Settings > General Settings page. If you enter a number here, then whenever you view a document, play a recording or send a MIDI preset, Set List Maker will use the item at the specified position instead of the first item. For example, if you always attach a vocal chart, a horn chart and a drum chart to every song in that order, then you change Settings > General Settings > Document to 2, the horn chart will always appear by default. This allows each member of your band to configure which item they see without reordering all the items. If the number of items attached to a song is less than the number you entered, the first item will appear by default.
- Added a settings button to field items in song layouts. This button opens a settings window where you can add a label showing the name of that field, or set a color that is applied to the field.
- Added +1 and +2 field items for the main area of a song layout. This allows you to customize your layout to show information about upcoming songs in the main area as well as the bottom toolbar.
- Added Remaining Set Time and Projected Set Completion Time field items for the bottom toolbar of a song layout. This allows you to track the remaining time of the current set as well as the entire show.
- Added Song Number and Set Number field items for the bottom toolbar of a song layout. The song number will restart for each set if you turn on Restart Song Numbering Per Set in the layout settings.
- Updated the title fields in song layouts to show the color of the current song, if the Colors option is enabled for the layout.
- Updated the song layouts to always place the document viewer below other items. This allows you to reliably layer buttons on top of of the document viewer if desired. In this case, the buttons will appear with a translucent background to ensure they are visible against light or dark document backgrounds.
- Added divider between the lyrics and chords in the document viewer. You can tap this divider to hide the chords or tap it again to show the chords. This is useful if some members of your band want to see the chords entered for songs and other members want to hide the chords.
- Added Settings > Appearance > Bracketed Chords, with three options to control the display of chords intermingled with lyrics and surrounded by square brackets. Above colors the chords and places them on a separate line above the lyrics, which was the previous default behavior. Inline colors the chords but leaves them on the same lines as the lyrics. Hidden hides the chords. This is useful if some members of your band want to see the chords within the lyrics and other members want to hide the chords.
- Added support for solfege chord names in lyrics. If your lyrics include solfege chord names surrounded by square brackets, Set List Maker will position them above your lyrics, color them with the Settings > Appearance > Chords Color and transpose them if you tap the transpose buttons on the song edit or show view page. Set List Maker supports title case or upper case names (Do or DO) and supports Si or Ti for the seventh note when positioning and coloring, but only supports Si when transposing.
- Updated the Chords field, and the Lyrics field when the monospace font is selected, to display a simple "b" character instead of the real flat symbol. This is because the flat symbol is not included in the monospace font, and the fallback font throws off the text alignment. You can still use real flat symbols when editing your chords, in case the flat symbol is supported better in future OS versions and this workaround is removed.
- Updated the document viewer to show the swipe animation when swiping to change songs in full-screen mode.
- Updated the show view to skip the start page if the only song selection action is Close Song List.

- Showed the automation buttons in the song layouts by default, even if the Automation Tracks upgrade has not been purchased. If you don't wish to see these buttons, you can edit your layout and remove the automation button.
- Stripped surrounding quotes from values in the song and MIDI preset import files. These tab-delimited values should not be quoted, but now Set List Maker will remove the quotes if they are there.
- Updated the Connected Ports section in the MIDI Status window to distinguish between input and output ports.
- Added more events to the log in the MIDI Status window to help troubleshoot remote control issues.
- Enabled auto-capitalization in text input dialogs.

Android Version 1.3, 6/16/15
Major new features
- Added support for text formatting in the Lyrics, Chords and Notes fields of the song edit window. Text formatting is interchangeable between the Android and iOS apps. However, text that was formatted in an older version of the iOS app will have to be edited one more time in the current version of the iOS app before the formatting will display in the Android app.
- Added a Settings > Appearance > Chords Color option to automatically apply a color to any chords included in the Lyrics and Chords field. This eliminates the need to manually add formatting if all you want to do is highlight your chords.
- Added support for chord positioning using ChordPro-style square brackets. If you surround chords with [brackets] in the Lyrics field, Set List Maker will display the chords on a separate line, positioned above the text where they are inserted. The chords will only be aligned correctly if you set Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Font to Monospace. When entering lyrics into the app, you can use the toolbar that appears above the keyboard to quickly insert the square bracket characters.
- Added flat and sharp buttons to transpose your chords in the song edit window and the show view. If you tap these buttons, all your chords in the Lyrics or Chords fields will be lowered or raised by a half step. To choose between enharmonic notes, Set List Maker will add a sharp if moving to a higher key or a flat if moving to a lower key. So if, for example, you have the chords E A B and tap the sharp button once, Set List Maker will change the chords to F A# C. You can change this to F Bb C by tapping the sharp button again to get F# B C#, then tapping the flat button to get F Bb C. When you use the transpose buttons in the song edit window, your changes will be saved when you leave the edit window or select a different song. When you use these buttons in the show view, your changes will be temporary and will be reset when you leave the show or select a different song.
- Added support for document annotations. Wherever a document is displayed, you can annotate it by tapping the center of the document to show the document toolbar, then tapping the annotation button (marker icon) to show the annotation toolbar. When you're done, tap the annotation button again to hide the annotation toolbar and tap the center of the document again to hide the document toolbar. Annotations are interchangeable between the Android and iOS apps. However, annotations that were added in an older version of the iOS app will have to be edited one more time in the current version of the iOS app before they will display in the Android app.

Android Version 1.2, 1/12/15
Major new features
- Added live sharing functions for screen sharing and remote control. To broadcast your screen to other devices, tap the live sharing icon in the top toolbar and turn on Broadcast Screen. Then on the other devices, tap the live sharing icon, tap Display Screen From and select the lead device. To broadcast song selection and document position (zooming and scrolling) messages between devices, tap the live sharing icon and turn on Broadcast Remote Control Events. Then on the other devices, tap the live sharing icon, tap Follow Remote Control Events From and select the lead device. For screen sharing, a device can only be a leading or a following device, but for remote control, it can be both at once, so more than one linked device can select songs. Live sharing requires that all devices be connected to the same wi-fi network, and requires an in-app purchase for the lead devices.
- Added functions to record and play back automation tracks in the show view. This feature allows you to trigger actions automatically at specific times during the performance of a song. Automation tracks can include the following actions: start and stop the current recording, change recordings, open the current document, change documents, scroll the document or lyrics to a particular position, close the document, start or stop auto-scrolling, send a MIDI preset, start and stop the tempo, play the starting pitch, show or hide the notes. After recording an automation track, you can adjust the timing of each event, overdub more events onto the same automation track, or clear the track to start over. This feature requires an in-app purchase.

- When editing lyrics or chords, added a toolbar above the keyboard with buttons to enter flat, sharp, diminished and major 7 symbols, plus square brackets for ChordPro formatting, which will be supported in a future version. If the keyboard plus the new toolbar covers up too much of the page in landscape orientation, you can try editing in portrait orientation.
- Added a Vibrate option to Settings > Tempo & Pitch to vibrate the device on each beat. This option will only appear on devices that have vibration hardware.
Interface improvements
- Removed the automatic saving of document zoom levels and lyrics font sizes, and added a toolbar that appears when you tap the center of a document or lyrics. This toolbar provides options to save or reset the document zoom level or lyrics font size, open the annotation toolbar (documents only) or toggle full-screen display. You can also toggle full-screen display by double-tapping anywhere in the document or lyrics (this was previously triggered by a single-tap in the center of the document or lyrics).
- Updated the show view to remember the last selected layout in each orientation. This means you can select one layout for landscape orientation and another for portrait orientation and Set List Maker will switch layouts automatically when you change orientations.

If you change to the wi-fi option, you should see more reliable connections, faster screen updates and better image quality with screen sharing, and cross-platform linking with Android devices. However, the wi-fi option requires that all linked devices be connected to the same wi-fi network. The wi-fi network does not need to have an Internet connection, so it can come from an inexpensive router that you bring to gigs, from an ad-hoc wi-fi network that you enable on a laptop, or from a personal hotspot that you enable on a mobile device.
- Added the ability to play two audio recordings simultaneously, and to send their output to two different audio ports. You can play two recordings simultaneously by attaching two recordings to the same song, turning on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Play First Two Recordings Together, and tapping the recording icon for a song in the Songs list or show view. You can send each recording to different audio ports by connecting a USB audio interface to your device, then turning on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Multi-Route Output and selecting a different port for Recording 1 and Recording 2 (requires iOS 7). This feature is designed for playing a backing track through a PA system and a custom click track through a monitoring system simultaneously.
- Added pitch shift options for playing recordings. When you edit a recording in the Recordings list, you can now enter values for Pitch Shift (Coarse), measured in half steps, and Pitch Shift (Fine), measured in cents. Set List Maker will then adjust the pitch when it plays that recording anywhere in the app. This feature is designed for practicing; if you need to pitch shift backing tracks for use on stage, you might still need to edit your files with dedicated audio software and then add the edited files to Set List Maker. (Pitch shifting requires iOS 8.)
- Redesigned the automation track edit window. You can now adjust the timing of automation events in seconds or hundredths of seconds, and change the value of an event (the selected document, recording or MIDI preset, or document scroll position) without re-recording it.
Minor new features
- Added a MIDI preset import button at the top of the MIDI Presets list. For more information, see the MIDI section in the Importing Data tutorial.
- Added a Copy To Another Database option to the layout editing menu in the show view.
- Added options to change the sizes of the set and pause headings when editing a layout.
- Restored the multiple page button option for song layouts, to jump quickly to any page of a multi-page document. As an improvement on the earlier design, you can now resize or reposition the page buttons, and lay them out horizontally or vertically. These are called Page Buttons in the list of layout items.
- Updated the chord coloring and transposing functions to recognize flat, sharp, diminished and major 7 symbols, and added a toolbar above the keyboard with buttons to enter these symbols plus brackets for ChordPro formatting. If the new toolbar doesn't leave enough room for your content on an iPad in landscape orientation, you can try editing in portrait orientation or try using the iPad split keyboard.
- Added a whiteout button to the document annotation toolbar, to hide parts of a document.
- Included text formatting in lyrics and chords when emailing or printing.
- Added a Vibrate option to Settings > Tempo & Pitch to vibrate the device on each beat. This option will only appear on devices that have vibration hardware.
- Added an Announcements page to the Help section to show announcements from the developer.
Interface improvements
- Removed the automatic saving of document zoom levels and lyrics font sizes, and added a toolbar that appears when you tap the center of a document or lyrics. This toolbar provides options to save or reset the document zoom level or lyrics font size, open the annotation toolbar (documents only) or toggle full-screen display. You can also toggle full-screen display by double-tapping anywhere in the document or lyrics (this was previously triggered by a single-tap in the center of the document or lyrics).
- Updated the show view to remember the last selected layout in each orientation. This means you can select one layout for landscape orientation and another for portrait orientation and Set List Maker will switch layouts automatically when you change orientations.
- Replaced the "page turn" animation when swiping to change songs in the show view with a smoother, sliding animation.
- Added Previous Song Button and Next Song Button to the list of items you can add to a song layout. You can add these buttons at any size and position and use them as an alternative to swiping to change songs.
- Added a countdown timer to the recording button in the show view.
- If a show has a start time set, and durations set for all its songs, added the start and end time of each set to the set headings. Also, changed the set duration to a plain minutes format instead of HH:MM to avoid confusion with the start and end times.
- Changed the keyboard button in the top toolbar of the show view to remain on indefinitely after you turn it on. Also, blinked the button when receiving input, and changed the button icon to resemble a pair of foot switches, although this function still works with any Bluetooth or USB device that acts as a computer keyboard to send messages to Set List Maker. On the downside, the app can no longer display the on-screen keyboard while one of these devices is connected, due to recent changes in the iOS. To enter text with the on-screen keyboard, you must turn off the remote control device. Some devices, like the AirTurn BT-105, include a button to quickly toggle the power for this purpose.
- Updated the MIDI port and channel pickers to include a default "All" item in the places where they are optional, to make it more clear that you don't have to select a port or channel in these places.
- Combined the Send MIDI Song and Send MIDI Preset song selection actions into a single setting, and changed the MIDI Song Number field on the song edit page to always appear.
- Renamed the song Style field to Tags and changed it to a multiple-select field. Also, changed the way the song import from a file works: if you list tags in your import file that are not already included in your database, the tags will be added when you import the file.
- Renamed the song Label field to Color.
- Moved the Read Only setting from Settings > Database Sync to Settings > General Settings and added a note to make it more clear that this disables all editing functions for a database.
- Moved the song edit button in the show view to the bottom toolbar, on tablets, and added it to the bottom toolbar on phones.
- Updated the tempo button to indicate downbeats with the emphasis color even if Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Background Flash is off or no click sound or downbeat sound is selected.
- Refreshed the Songs and Documents lists after adding a document with the Open In function.
- Improved app responsiveness while syncing data on iOS 8 and above.
- Cached queries to the iTunes music library to speed up the display of the Songs and Recordings lists.
- Added a delay to the search field in the document and recording picker windows to allow you to enter your search term before a potentially slow search begins.

- Added an Import button to the Songs list, to support importing songs from a tab-delimited text file or a playlist.

If you have selected default document or recording directories, these settings will be updated to include a complete path from the root directory. If a future Android OS version changes its directory structure, or you migrate to a new device that uses a different directory structure, you may have to update your default directory settings. It is recommended to set default document and recording directories, because it is easier to change these settings than to re-link all your documents and recordings.

- Fixed a problem in the Songs and Recordings lists that caused the list buttons to disappear while playing recordings or viewing documents.
- Updated the Songs and Recordings lists to keep the current recording and tempo buttons highlighted after leaving and returning to the app.

This button will only appear in the show view, and only when keyboard input actions are configured in Settings > Remote Control > Bluetooth Keyboard Input. Devices running iOS 7 and older will also include the new button, but will function as before.

When this setting is enabled, recordings or tempo clicks started in the show view will continue playing when you change songs, until you return to the original song to stop them, start a new recording or tempo from a different song, or leave the show view. Also with this setting enabled, the recording toolbar won't load a new recording when you change songs, so you will have to change recordings by tapping the recording button or enabling the Play Recording song selection action.
- Added a Quick Add button to the show view (labeled Add on iPhones and iPods) to quickly add a song after the current song. If Continue Audio When Changing Songs is enabled, any audio playing for the current song will not be interrupted.

Please note: Version 4.0 includes a significant redesign of the editing workflow and the Perform window. I do not recommend installing this update right before a gig. You can watch a demo video for an orientation to the new design, and visit the support forum for update tips.
Major new features
- Updated the graphic design. The new design fits into the iOS 7 style and includes both light and dark color themes on iOS 7 devices. Also, iPad users will see a split-screen layout in both landscape or portrait orientations, with resizable columns. You can drag the column divider icon to resize the columns, tap it to snap the left column open or closed, or double-tap it to return to the default column sizes.
- Minimized the use of popup windows to streamline the editing process. Most items no longer have edit or save buttons or separate editing windows. You can simply tap an item to open its editing page in the main window, and your changes will be automatically saved when you leave the page. To leave the page without saving your changes, you can tap the Revert button first. To save your changes without leaving the page, you can tap the item again (iPad only).
- Added a utility toolbar for quick access to database syncing, live sharing, MIDI and layout functions. The database syncing, live sharing and MIDI buttons will blink to show when data is transferring into or out of your app. The database sync button will show the number of unsynced changes on your device, and you can tap the button to perform a sync. The live sharing button will show the number of connected devices, and you can tap the button to see the names of the connected devices. You can tap the MIDI button to join or leave the MIDI network.
- Added multiple, customizable layouts to the song view (formerly the Perform window). When you select a show from the Shows list, it will now open a view similar to the old Perform window. The first button in the utility toolbar will then become active, and you can tap that button to open a Layout menu containing alternate layouts for the song info. By default, Set List Maker includes layouts called Perform (similar to the old Perform window), Practice (a smaller document area with more room for notes and audio controls), Dashboard (a large display of song details with no document) and List Only. From the Layout menu, you can tap Edit to customize any of the layouts, or tap Add or Copy to create your own layouts. Set list appearance settings like text size and song numbering are now included among the layout settings, so you can have a different set list appearance for each layout. The width of the columns is also saved as part of the layout. You can create as many layouts as you need, and you can switch between layouts with a remote control device while performing.
- Added custom pause names in addition to custom set names. You can define custom names like "Introduce the band" and "Plug the merch" in Settings > Pause Names. Also, the process of setting custom set and pause names is now simpler: when editing a show, just tap a set heading or a pause to select a name for it. You can select an existing name from the list that appears, or tap the + icon at the top of the list to enter a new name.
- Added recording speed and looping controls to the recording toolbar. You can now drag a slider to change the recording playback speed from half speed to double speed, and set start and end points for looping a section of the recording. Note that the looping functionality is designed for practicing, not for performance (loop start/end points are only accurate to the nearest second, and setting loops is not remote-controllable).
Additional updates
- Added an Edit button next to the song title in the song view (formerly the Perform window). This makes it easy to update song data during a rehearsal. After editing, you can reselect the song in the set list to return to the song view.
- Updated Settings > Remote Control > Bluetooth Keyboard Messages to support keys 0-9, to control up to 10 actions via a Bluetooth keyboard device. Also, updated the list of remote control actions to target 10 separate documents, recordings or MIDI presets for each song. (requires iOS 7)
- Updated Settings > Remote Control > MIDI Controller Messages to support all the standard MIDI pedal messages (Damper, Portamento, Sostenuto, Soft, Legato and Hold 2). If you have an Alesis iO Dock, you can use the second pedal to send a Damper message.
- Updated the list of remote control actions to include "Next Screen or Document Close" and "Next Page or Document Close" actions, which you can use to scroll through a full-screen document and then close it when you read the end. The close action will have no effect on documents that are not full-screen.
- Added high beep, low beep, rim shot and side stick sounds to Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Click Sound. Thanks to Brad Long for contributing the rim shot and side stick samples.
- Updated the Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Click Sound picker to play a sample of each click sound as you scroll through them.
- Updated the tempo auto-stop settings to work throughout the app, not just in the song view.
- Updated the recording edit page to set the volume with a stepper instead of a slider, for more precise entries.
- Updated the automation buttons so any previously-recorded automation events will play while overdubbing new events onto the same automation track.
- Changed the left/right hotspots in the document viewer to move to the next or previous document attached to a song, rather than the next or previous song in a list. You can still change songs by swiping horizontally across the song view screen.
- Changed the next/previous buttons in the recording controller to move to the next or previous recording attached to a song, rather than the next or previous song in a list.
- Added an Add Break button to the shows Edit Songs list, and removed the Sets option from the show edit page. To change the number of sets in a show, you can now simply add or remove breaks from the show.
- Updated the song edit page to set the song title to the name of the first selected document, recording or MIDI preset if a song title is not already entered.
- Added page breaks to set lists emailed in HTML format with the One Page Per Set option enabled.
- Added basic support for Pages 5 files. The Documents list no longer shows the directory contents of each file, and the document viewer now displays a low-resolution version of the file.
- Updated document, recording and MIDI preset lists to truncate names in the middle rather than at the end.
- Improved the handling of missing songs. If you view a show that contains missing songs, the references to those songs will be saved in case you are able to restore the songs later. If you edit a show that contains missing songs, the song list will include placeholders for the missing songs, which you can use to delete the references to the missing songs if you wish.
- Registered the app to receive JPEG files sent from other apps, so you can send JPEGs from the Open In command in the Mail app, for example (requires iOS 7). Unfortunately, the Photos app still does not include the Open In command.
- Highlighted links in notes. They were previously clickable but not highlighted. (requires iOS 7)
- Renamed the Fixed font option to Monospace in Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Font to avoid confusion.
- Removed the restriction on adding multiple songs with the same name.
- Updated the database sync functionality to upload changes in chunks of 100 items at a time to avoid server timeouts when uploading many changes.
- Updated the sync conflict message to include human-readable values in more cases.
- Moved the help and troubleshooting functions from the Settings > General Settings page to a new Help page in the main menu.
- Removed the French language translation, which has become out of date. If you would like to help maintain the French translation, please visit the Help Wanted page.
Bug fixes
- Worked around two unusual scenarios that could prevent all data from uploading when first setting up database syncing.
- Updated the remote control functionality to ignore Bluetooth input messages that occur less than a half-second apart, to avoid duplicate messages.
- Updated the master volume control in the song view to change tempo and pitch volumes immediately rather than when the next tempo or pitch is started.
- Fixed the Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options > Auto-Stop Bars setting to avoid playing two extra beats after the requested stop time.
- Fixed the Momentary option in Settings > Remote Control > Audio & MIDI > Button Style; it had no effect in previous versions.
- Fixed the document delete button to correctly remove the document metadata. If you add the same document later, it should appear with the default metadata.
- Adjusted the list heights when entering search text so the keyboard doesn't cover the search results.
- Adjusted the paste behavior so that after pasting text into the middle of other text, the cursor appears at the end of the pasted text rather than at the end of all the text.
- Updated the recording and tempo buttons in lists so they don't lose their connections to the recording and tempo playback after a database sync.
- Stopped copying style, custom field and MIDI preset values when copying a song to another database, since those values would point to different items in the new database.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when running a song completion action at the end of a recording that was trimmed from the end.
Version 3.4.5, 1/31/14
- Updated the new volume and trim settings to work with recordings whose artist or album is not set in iTunes.
- When pasting text that contains tabs, changed all tabs to four spaces to avoid crashes and formatting alignment issues.
Version 3.4.4, 1/23/14
- Fixed a crash when playing recordings in iOS 5. Sorry, iPad 1 users!
- Stopped a recording from playing if you start it from the Recordings list and then navigate away from that list.
- Added the recording volume and trim settings to the data synced and backed up with the database sync functionality.
Version 3.4.3, 1/19/14
- Added a Recordings list where you can adjust the volume and start/end points for each recording. If you edit a recording and move the volume slider to the left or right of the middle position, that recording will play softer or louder throughout the app. If you set a trim start or trim end value, the recording will play without the trimmed portion.
- Reworked the tempo click volumes so they can be set to a higher level than other device audio. The tempo volume sliders now default to the middle position, and moving the sliders to the right amplifies the volume.
- Added a pitch volume option in Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Pitch Options, with the same functionality as the tempo volume options.
- Changed the volume slider in the Perform window (iPad only) to control only the app volume, not the entire device volume. This means you can control the volume of your recordings or tempos relative to audio playing in other apps. However, it also means that you might need to adjust your device volume separately for the ideal output level.
- Added double-tap gestures to all volume and pan sliders to quickly return to the default, middle position.
- Fixed a crash that sometimes happened on an iPhone or iPod touch if the contents of the Perform window header fields exceed the width of the field.
- Restored the auto-scroll song selection action, document pagination buttons and document annotations, which were accidentally disabled in the last version, in the Perform window.
- Restored the functionality that shares document annotations across multiple databases.
- Added an option at Settings > General Settings > German Chord Names that makes the chord coloring and transposing functions recognize H as B natural and B as B flat.
- Updated the Rollback function to perform a sync after completing the rollback, to immediately display the latest data.
Version 3.4.2, 1/9/14
- Fixed a crash that occurred when pasting lyrics or chords with empty lines at the end.
- Fixed a bug that prevented formatting from appearing if applied to the last character in the text.
- Fixed the positioning of formatting added immediately after pasting unformatted text.
- Updated the chord formatting functions to recognize slash chords and 7sus chords.
- Updated the ChordPro positioning to add space in the lyrics when the corresponding chords are longer than the lyrics.
- Updated the Email button to include ChordPro formatting in emailed lyrics and chords.
- Updated the annotations functionality to make the eraser tool more responsive.
- Updated the customizable header fields in the Perform window to allow them more space.
- Added the next song title and next song key to the default header fields in the Perform window.
- Removed the recording name from the recording button when the Multiple Recording Buttons setting is enabled but the set list is hidden.
- Restored the functionality of the Auto-Scroll Documents or Lyrics song selection action.
- Stopped repeating song selection actions when opening an additional document for the selected song.
- Canceled any pending song completion actions when closing the Perform window.
- Reset the document scroll position when closing and reopening the document viewer in the Perform window.
- Removed the alert that prevented adding multiple shows with the same name.
Version 3.4.1, 12/17/13
- Fixed the recording playback on iOS 5. Big thanks to Mario Quarta for troubleshooting help.
- Removed the automation buttons from the Perform window unless you have purchased the Automation Tracks upgrade.
Version 3.4, 12/6/13
Major new features
- Added functionality to record and play back automation tracks in the Perform window. This feature allows you to trigger actions automatically at specific times during the performance of a song. Automation tracks can include the following actions: start and stop the current recording, change recordings, open the current document, change documents, scroll the document or lyrics to a particular position, close the document, start or stop auto-scrolling, send a MIDI preset, start and stop the tempo, play the starting pitch, show or hide the notes. After recording an automation track, you can fine-tune the timing of each event, record more events, or clear the track to start over. This feature requires an in-app purchase.
- Added an option to send all of a song's MIDI presets at once. If you attach multiple MIDI presets to a song and want to send them all at once, you can enable Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Send MIDI Presets Together. Then when you tap a MIDI button, use a song selection action or trigger a remote control action, all the attached MIDI presets will be sent. You can still send one preset at a time by tapping and holding a MIDI button and selecting from the popup menu.
- Added the ability to attach a MIDI preset to another MIDI preset. You can use this feature for more advanced combinations of MIDI presets. For example, you might want to send three presets at the start of a song and three different presets at the chorus. In this case you could create one preset for the start of the song and attach those three presets to it, then create a second preset for the chorus and attach the three different presets to it. When you trigger each of the two new "parent" presets, they will trigger the three "child" presets. A parent preset can include its own program change or raw MIDI data, or it can contain nothing but other presets. You can control the sequence in which the parts of a preset are sent from Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > MIDI Preset Order, and you can place delays between the parts from Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > Delay Between. (These settings used to be located in the Settings > Automation window.)
- Added support for virtual MIDI ports. When you edit a MIDI preset, you can now specify a port to which the preset's data will be sent. MIDI presets with no port selected will be sent to all ports as they are now. You can also select a port for each device in the Settings > MIDI Devices list, but these are only used for displaying your device names in the MIDI preset edit window. And Set List Maker now advertises its own virtual port for other apps to access.
- Implemented a new, more efficient audio framework for playing recordings. This allows you to trigger recordings with much less latency than before, including starting a recording and a click track at very nearly the same time. It also eliminates the "skipping" effect that would occur when playing recordings from a list that contains duplicate recordings. This new framework will also support volume and panning control in future app versions.
- Added support for multiple audio output ports. If you attach a USB audio interface, you can now open Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options and enable Multi-Route Output, then select a different output port for recordings, tempo clicks or starting pitches. These items will play through the default port if no specific port is selected, or if the selected port is not connected. When you enable Multi-Route Audio, the volume slider in the Perform window and the Settings > Audio & MIDI > Audio Options > Let Other Apps Play Audio In Background do not work; also, the click and pitch pan settings do not work when sending the click or pan to a port other than the default port. These limitations will be addressed in future versions if possible. This feature requires iOS 7.
- Updated the live sharing functionality to reconnect devices automatically if they leave and return to the app. Also, if you disconnect from a linked device manually and then reconnect, the owner of the other device won't have to verify your connection again.
- Added a toolbar to the top of the Perform window with customizable fields. You can now select up to four song fields (two on an iPhone or iPod touch) in Settings > Appearance > Header Contents in Perform Window to show the selected values for the current or next two songs. The new top toolbar is hidden when the set list is displayed, and when a set list is not displayed you can still hide it along with the bottom toolbar by tapping the center of a document or lyrics.
- Added Song Completion Actions in the Perform window. You can now edit Settings > Automation > Song Completion Actions to automatically close the document viewer, stop a tempo or select the next song when the current song ends. The song completion can be triggered by the end of a recording or the end of the duration defined for the song.
- Added support for ChordPro chord formatting. If you surround chords with [brackets] in the Lyrics field, Set List Maker will use the brackets to apply chord colors and will place chords on a separate line, positioned above the text where they are inserted. The chords will only be aligned correctly if you set Settings > Appearance > Lyrics Font to Fixed.
Smaller updates
- Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > MIDI Options > MIDI Thru to send out a copy of all incoming MIDI messages.
- Added remote control options to select the next or previous document, recording or MIDI preset attached to a song. You can also attach the same document, recording or MIDI preset to a song multiple times to create a sequence that you can step through.
- Improved the layout of the multiple document, recording and MIDI buttons in the Perform window. The buttons now appear in a horizontal row or a vertical column depending on the screen layout; the button text is larger and the buttons have more clear space above and below; and the current item's icon is highlighted.
- Added transpose buttons to the bottom toolbar of the Perform window, for quick, temporary transposing of chords during a performance (iPad only). Transpositions made in the Perform window are not saved. You can permanently transpose chords in the song edit window.
- Since the toolbars in the Perform window have been reworked, the volume slider now appears in the bottom toolbar in all layouts (iPad only).
- Optimized the tempo and recording buttons in the Perform window. To start a tempo or recording with the greatest accuracy, you can tap and hold the button before you need the tempo or recording to start, then release it at the exact moment you want it to start.
- Added an option in Settings > Automation > Recalculate Speed If Overridden to determine how an auto-scrolling document or lyrics behaves when you pause and resume or manually scroll it. If enabled, the auto-scrolling will adjust its speed to reach the bottom of the document or lyrics at the original end time. If disabled, the auto-scrolling will continue at its original speed and adjust the countdown timer to show the new end time.
- Added on option in Settings > General Settings > Save Songs Added in Perform Window to control whether songs added using the Add Songs button in the Perform window are saved to the show or only displayed until the Perform window is closed.
- Updated all the search fields to search for each word in the search text individually, instead of searching for the exact phrase entered. All the search words are still required for a match.
- Reworked the Roll Back functionality. Instead of selecting previous edits to restore, you can now select previous edits to undo. Then the previous edit to the same data will be restored.
- Optimized the Roll Back window to load in sections as needed instead of all at once.
- Updated the Songs list so that a recording doesn't stop playing when opening a song edit window. The recording will stop playing, however, after saving a song. This matches the behavior of the show view.
- Updated the Lyrics, Chords and Notes fields to allow copying and pasting formatted text between fields.
- Removed the automated text sizing in printed and emailed set lists. Previously, Set List Maker attempted to set the text size to fit your set lists on one page. Now it just looks at the text sizes you enter in the Share window. The first time you share a set list with this version, you will probably have to readjust your text size settings.
- Added lines for pauses in the plain-text version of the set list created by the Copy button in the Share window.
- Added checks to prevent adding multiple items with the same name.
- Stripped control characters (invisible characters added by some word processors) from text before syncing databases to avoid problems with the data transfer.
- Removed the in-app purchase requirements for the email and import functionality. If you first installed the app before version 2.4.2 and never bough these upgrades, you can now use these features for free.
Version 3.3.15, 11/20/13
- Fixed a crash that occurred when the Upgrades window received an invalid purchase record from the App Store. If this happens, an alert message will display the name of the record received, to assist in troubleshooting.
Version 3.3.14, 11/5/13
- Added a Finnish translation. Huge thanks to my translation volunteers, Marcus Otronen and Jukka Laaksonen.

- Updated the clock display in the Perform window to show the correct time and layout on an iPhone or iPod touch when opened from landscape orientation.
- Changed the Chords field in the song edit window to always use the fixed-size font, since that is always used when displaying the chords.
- Added a Show Cloud Recordings option in Settings > General Settings. If this option is disabled, recordings available from iCloud but not installed onto the device will not appear in the Add Recordings window and will not be accessible from the recording playback buttons if already attached to songs.
- Enabled Settings > Set List Display > Set List Contents > Label by default for new databases.
Version 3.3.13, 10/21/13
- Worked around a crash in iOS 7 when viewing Word documents on some devices.
- Stopped windows that were opened from the sidebar list on an iPad in portrait orientation from closing when rotated to landscape orientation.

- Added an option to Settings > General Settings to mirror the screen image to the composite video out port, for use on an iPad 1 or with devices like the Alesis iODock that only support the video out port. This is not needed with an Apple TV or other devices that support system-wide video mirroring.

- Fixed an in-app purchase bug that installed all in-app purchases for free on any device upgraded to version 3.3.5. If you first installed the app at version 3.3.5, those upgrades have been removed and you can now buy them normally. If you first installed the app at any previous version, the upgrades will continue working on your current device, but if you reinstall the app or purchase a new device you will need to purchase the upgrade at that time.

- Updated the database sync functionality to avoid uploading duplicate records if the previous upload timed out or was interrupted.
- Disabled the device auto-lock while syncing, to prevent a sync from being interrupted.
- Fixed a bug that caused the sync process to hang after two consecutive sync conflict prompts.
- Fixed a bug that caused a song's Documents list to sync incorrectly if the Documents field is set to sync and the Lyrics field isn't, or vice versa.
- Fixed a crash that occurred if you entered text into the chords field that was exactly one page long.
- Fixed a problem that would sometimes cause the main window on an iPad to display no show after editing and saving a record.
- Restored the functionality to automatically select the new show after adding it.
- Refreshed the Shows list after deleting a show on an iPhone or iPod touch.
- Fixed the font display in the Lyrics editing field; previously it was showing the Casual font instead of Sans-Serif and vice-versa.
- Fixed a problem in the Lyrics editing field that prevented you from removing a center or right alignment if the field contained only one line of text.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when printing lyrics and chords for a song with an empty Chords field.
- Improved the responsiveness of document annotations when making very small marks such as handwriting.
- Updated the Perform window to maintain the current document scroll position when rotating the device or toggling the toolbars.
- Eliminated the extra blank page that appeared in the set list preview in the Share window when the document size was set to A4.
- Restored conversion code that was needed to upgrade databases from very old versions of Set List Maker.
Version 3.3.3, 5/15/13
- Fixed a bug that caused your list of local updates to repopulate after resetting the sync server and then restarting the app, which could cause syncing to time out.
- Fixed the Send Raw Midi First/Last setting, which was always sending raw MIDI last since version 3.3.
- Fixed a bug that added several empty songs to your Songs list after resetting your local sync data.
- Fixed a crash when tapping the Songs button the Perform window if your Songs list contains a song with no name.
- Fixed the Settings > General Settings > Lyrics Font options, which reversed the Sans and Casual buttons since version 3.3.1.
- Fixed the scroll amount triggered by the page number buttons and hotspots when viewing lyrics and chords in the Perform window.
- Fixed a bug where the show view on an iPad would sometimes become empty after performing a sync.
- Added the contents of the Chords field when you email or print a song's lyrics.
- Added a default song duration to Settings > General Settings > Defaults and the Details window for each show. If you define a default song duration, Set List Maker will calculate total durations for sets and shows and calculate auto-scroll durations using this value for any songs that don't have specific durations defined.
- Added support for the n character sequence to indicate line breaks in the raw MIDI field of an import.txt file.
Version 3.3.2, 5/2/13
- Changed the launch sequence to avoid a launch timeout in the case of a slow initial sync or recording search.
- Improved the Settings > General Settings > Troubleshooting > Reset Local Data function so that it performs a new sync immediately.
- Stopped syncing song usage data (e.g., last date performed) to simplify the conflict checking and rollback functions. Instead, the app regenerates this data locally after syncing a database.
- Updated the History (Roll Back) window to show record names instead of IDs where possible.
- Added a search field to the History (Roll Back) window.
- Correctly included the time during pauses in the set duration calculations (it was previously only included in the total show duration calculation).
- Correctly updated all the MIDI presets when changing the channel number for a named MIDI device.
Version 3.3.1, 4/23/13
- Fixed a crash that occurred in the playlist import window if any of your songs have any empty Artist or Album field.
- Updated the recording playback in the Perform window to start a recording from the beginning if you start it before the previous recording finishes.
- Updated the recording playback in the Perform window to eliminate a pause while selecting songs or opening and closing documents.
- Corrected the auto-scroll calculations when viewing the chords field in the Perform window.
- Updated the Lyrics and Chords editing fields to use the same font chosen for the view windows, so you can align text consistently.
- Updated the transposing buttons to recognize major seventh chords written as Maj7 (with an upper-case M) and to recognize various A chords at the start of a line.
- Updated the document icons in the Songs list to show the correct lyrics after entering a search term.
- Increased the network timeout to 5 minutes to accommodate longer sync operations (such as the first time syncing to a large database).
- Added a Reset Local Data button to Settings > General Settings > Troubleshooting. This button allows you to reset your data with a fresh database sync, without having to recreate your local database and all its settings.
- Added an initial automatic sync operation after resetting the sync history, to complete the reset process.
- Removed the Roll Back button from Settings > Database Sync if the database is set to Read Only, since rolling back affects the data on all the synced devices.
- Updated the search fields throughout the app to support non-Latin (Unicode) characters.
- Fixed the Song Buttons In Narrow Lists setting, which was incorrectly applied in landscape orientation on an iPhone. Applied the setting to the Perform window on an iPhone or iPod touch when the document viewer is open.
- Increased the maximum number of sets in a show from 20 to 100.
- Added the device display name to the troubleshooting email.
Version 3.3, 4/7/13
Note: Set List Maker now requires at least iOS 5 to install. Apple no longer supports older iOS versions in its development tools.
Special thanks to Phil Underwood for QA testing this release!
New sync system
- The Database Sync feature now syncs your database on a field-by-field basis rather than syncing your entire database at once. This means if you change the tempo in a song and your bandmate changes the key in the same song, both changes will be merged together when you sync, rather than creating a conflict. If you and a bandmate both change the same field in the same song, Set List Maker will show you both values and let you choose which one to keep.
- The Roll Back feature now also works on a field-by-field basis. For example, if you edit a show's songs, then edit some song titles, then want to undo the edit to the show's songs, you can roll back just that show's songs field while leaving the more recent edits intact.
- The Settings > Database Sync window now includes a Read Only option. If enabled, the app will hide all of its edit buttons, so you can't make any edits that would trigger a data upload. The app will still download data from other synced devices.
- Set List Maker no longer shows warnings when editing offline. Since your edits can now be merged with edits from other devices, editing offline is generally not a problem, so Set List Maker won't show warning messages when you do so. The errors that used to occur when reactivating the app when a previous sync operation had not been completed have also been suppressed.
- The main menu screen (iPhone) and main set list screen (iPad) now include Sync buttons so you can quickly perform a manual sync without opening the Settings > Database Sync window.
- Recording links are now synced between devices, unless you turn off Settings > Database Sync > Sync Contents > Recordings. (The recording files are still not synced.) This means you can link recordings to songs on one device, and as long as the other synced devices contain the same recordings, you won't have to link them on the other devices. This feature requires that each recording has a unique combination of title, artist and album in your music library, and that this information is the same on all the synced devices.
New chord formatting and transposing features
- A fixed-width font option is now available in Settings > General Settings > Lyrics Font. If you enter chords above your lyrics in the Lyrics field, this will allow you to align your chords with your lyrics accurately.
- A chord color option is now available in Settings > General Settings > Chord Color. If you choose a color here, the app will scan your lyrics for chord names and give them all the same color automatically. You can still manually format your chords if you prefer.
- The song edit window now includes a Chords field below the Lyrics field. If you enter your chords here instead of in the Lyrics field, they will display at the top of the lyrics area. The chords remain at the top of the screen if you scroll the lyrics, so you can always keep the chords visible. You can independently size the lyrics and chords text, and the chord field always uses a fixed-width font, so you can align your chords like a traditional chart but still use proportional fonts for lyrics.
- The song edit window now includes buttons to transpose your chords. If you tap the flat or sharp buttons above the Lyrics and Chords fields, all the chords in the field will be lowered or raised by a half step. To choose between enharmonic notes, Set List Maker will add a sharp if moving to a higher note or a flat if moving to a lower note. So if, for example, you have the chords E A B and tap the sharp button once, Set List Maker will change the chords to F A# C. You can change this to F Bb C by tapping the sharp button again to get F# B C#, then tapping the flat button to get F Bb C.
Other new features
- Options to respond to incoming program change messages are now available in Settings > Remote Control > MIDI Program Messages. If you set this option to MIDI Program Number, a set of MSB/LSB/program fields will appear in the song edit window to enter the target values into. If you set this option to Song Number In Show, you can select songs by their position in a show (e.g., program 0 0 10 selects the 10th song in the show). Settings > Remote Control > MIDI System Messages > Song Select now contains a Song Number In Show option as well.
- Options for tempo subdivisions are now available in the song edit window. You can choose to play clicks on the eighth notes, sixteenth notes or eighth-note triplets. This setting doesn't affect the visual flash, only the tempo click sounds. You can adjust the volume of the subdivision clicks relative to the main clicks in Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options.
- The Emphasize Downbeats option is replaced with a Downbeat Sound option in Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options. This allows you to choose a separate sound to play on the downbeats along with the main click sound. You can also change the volume and pan for the downbeat sound in this window.
- Added an option to enter auto-scroll durations manually in Settings > Automation > Song Selection Actions. If you change this option to Manual, an Auto-Scroll Duration and Auto-Scroll Pre-Roll field will appear in the song edit window, and Set List Maker will calculate the auto-scroll speed based on these values rather than the song duration. If no auto-scroll duration is entered, Set List Maker will fall back to the automatic calculation based on the song duration. If no auto-scroll duration or song duration is entered, the song will not auto-scroll.
- Added a Swedish translation. Huge thanks to my translation volunteer, Johan Östling, and to all the previous translators who provided updates for this version.
Minor updates
- Added an option to turn off the background flash when playing a tempo, in Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Background Flash.
- When the background flash is turned on and you view a document in full-screen mode with the toolbars hidden, the border around the document flashes on the beat. This does not appear if you zoom the document because zoomed documents have no border.
- Added an on-screen volume slider to the Perform window. This only appears on an iPad in landscape orientation with the document closed or open full-screen or in portrait orientation with the document closed, because there's not enough room for it in the other layouts. A future version might include layout changes to make room for this in more situations.
- Added a song selection action to open the document viewer in the Perform window.
- Updated the document opening behavior in the Perform window in landscape orientation to open directly to the widescreen layout if that's the layout you last used.
- Added a Remote Control > Bluetooth Keyboard Messages > Enter option. You can use this option with the new AirTurn Digit or any other Bluetooth device that sends an Enter key message.
- Added a Remote Control > Set List Maker Link Messages > Song Addition option. If this option is enabled on a linked device that is following Set List Maker remote control events and you add a song to a show with the Songs button in the Perform window, the same song will be added on the linked devices. For this feature to work correctly, all the devices' databases must be in sync before performing the show.
- Added a Songs By Date Added Smart List that sorts your songs from newest to oldest and groups them into headings labeled Past Week, Past Month and Past Year. Set List Maker will track the date you add each song to your database as of this version; songs added before this version will still be sorted in the correct order but will all appear under a heading labeled Older.
- Added Songs By MIDI Song Number and Songs By MIDI Program Number Smart Lists. These Smart Lists only appear if any of your songs have MIDI song number or program numbers defined.
- Added an Open In… button to the Share window. This button allows you to send your set list as a PDF file to other apps on your device.
- Changed the audio behavior in the main window so that a recording keeps playing while you edit a song, so you can use the tap tempo feature while hearing the recording. However, the recording will stop when you save the song to avoid audio problems when the song list reloads.
- Renamed the show settings button to Details to avoid confusion with the Settings menu.
- Updated the Next Song label in the Perform window to show the color of the next song.
- In the Add a Song list in the Perform window, faded the songs that are already included in the show.
- Faded the text of disabled toolbar buttons to make it more clear which buttons are disabled.
- Moved the toolbar and Done button in the screen sharing window on the iPad to be consistent with other windows.
Bug fixes

- Fixed the text color selection menu in the song edit window on the iPhone, which was triggering the song copy function.
- Fixed the sizing of the set list preview in the Share window on an iPad in portrait orientation with the A4 page size.
- Updated the Next Song remote control action so that if no song is yet selected, the first song instead of the second song will be selected.
Version 3.2.4, 3/1/13
- Updated the Notes field in the show settings window to correctly save text formatting.
- Updated the text formatting for Notes and Lyrics to preserve the formatting on the last character of text.

- Fixed the time fields in the show edit window to correctly save the time of midnight.
- Updated the MIDI song buttons to appear for songs that have a MIDI song number defined but no MIDI preset attached.
- Added a MIDI Button Style option to Settings > Remote Control > MIDI Controller Messages to specify whether your input button is a momentary or latch style. If you change this setting to Momentary, Set List Maker will ignore Off messages sent from the button.
- Added the MIDI icons to the document viewer in the main window.
- Improved the accuracy of the tempo flash while playing a recording, and cleaned up the sound of the emphasized downbeat tempo click.
- Updated the tempo playback to ignore the Auto-Stop After Song Duration option for songs that have no durations set.
- Fixed the ability to link multiple documents to a song in the import.txt file.
- Fixed the sync contents exclusion control for document annotations.
- Fixed the sorting by Last Performed and Frequency Performed in the Add Songs window.
- Tweaked the size calculations for the Next Page Or Song and Next Screen Or Song remote control actions to avoid the need for an extra click at the bottom of some documents.
- Prevented the document icon in the Perform window from squeezing out the countdown text while auto-scrolling.
- Improved the orientation detection when using an iPad 1 for video output.
Version 3.2.3, 2/11/13
- Fixed a crash that occurred if sending a remote control action to a song if the song doesn't include the requested data (e.g., sending a Play Recording message to a song with no recordings).
- Fixed a crash that occurred when playing a recording from a remote control action if not every song in the show has a recording attached.
- Fixed a crash that occurred if you entered sync settings and tapped Sync Now before saving the sync settings.
- Fixed a crash that could occur if lyrics formatting information became corrupted.
- Updated the database sync functionality so that database updates consisting only of changes to linked recordings are ignored by other devices.
- Updated the database sync functionality so that an initial auto-sync is performed before applying any database version updates, and a database version update does not trigger a new sync.
- Added support for fractional tempo values (e.g., 118.5).
- Stopped recording playback or tempo click sounds when navigating backwards from the song list or show view.
- Connected the media controls in the document view window to the media controls in the main window in some cases where they became disconnected.
- Correctly set the recording playback position if you drag all the way to one end of the location slider and release your touch beyond the bounds of the slider.
Version 3.2.2, 2/1/13
- Fixed a crash that occurred when stopping or changing a tempo click in iOS 6.1.
- Fixed the tempo speed when using the Cowbell sound at less than 120 bpm.
- Fixed the saving of lyrics text sizes in the Perform window for lyrics with formatting.
- Added a progress indicator that appears whenever a database sync is running. To avoid sync conflicts, you can look for this indicator and wait to leave the app until the last sync is completed.
- Improved the ability to reconnect linked devices for screen sharing or remote control after disconnecting the devices.
- Reconnected the MIDI icons with the correct presets in the MIDI Presets list.
- Added the MIDI icon to the vertical toolbar in the Perform window when viewing a document and not using the multiple MIDI buttons option.
- Added the search field to the MIDI Presets list.
- Updated the document annotations toolbar to remember the last-used tool and re-select it when opening the toolbar again.
- Split the show details into two lines on printed and emailed set lists, and scaled the title and details font along with the set list fonts.
- Shortened the show buttons (Settings, Songs, Share, Perform) on an iPhone or iPod in portrait orientation in German and French so the buttons don't overlap.
- Correctly updated the song usage info after removing a song from a show.
Version 3.2.1, 1/26/13

Version 3.2, 1/17/13
Click here for a demo video of new features in this version.
New features
- Moved the Email and Print buttons to a new Share window with a real-time preview. The Share window includes controls for all the set list display options, so you can adjust the appearance of your set list before emailing or printing it. You can then save your new display options for future use, or leave the window without saving to keep your original settings.
- Added options to use your device as a remote control for other devices. This feature allows you to broadcast song selection and document position (zooming and scrolling) messages from some devices and follow those messages from other devices. You can connect up to 16 devices, and each device can broadcast the messages, follow the messages or both. This feature requires the same in-app purchase as the screen sharing feature, and both features are now managed in the new Settings > Live Sharing window.
- Added a MIDI Presets list to the main menu for entering MIDI program changes and raw MIDI instead of directly into the song records. This allows you to attach the same MIDI preset to multiple songs (if several songs use the same MIDI setup) or attach multiple presets to a single song (if you want to use different MIDI setups for different parts of the song).
- Added a MIDI icon to the song lists so that you can send MIDI messages manually in addition to sending them with a song selection action. If you've attached multiple MIDI presets to a song, you can tap and hold the MIDI icon to show a list of the attached presets, just like with multiple recordings or multiple documents. These buttons allow you to send MIDI from anywhere in the app, not just the Perform window.
- Added options to show separate buttons in the Perform window for each recording, document, or MIDI preset attached to a song. This allows quick switching between recordings, documents or MIDI presets during a performance. The buttons will only appear for the currently selected song. You can enable these buttons from Settings > Set List Display > Screen Display > Multiple Recording/Document/MIDI Buttons.
- Added options to select a specific recording, document, or MIDI preset with hardware input. The available hardware input actions in Settings > Remote Control now include separate actions for the first five recordings, documents or MIDI presets attached to each song.
- Added an option to auto-scroll your set list in the Perform window, in Settings > Automation > Auto-Scroll Set List. If enabled, your set list will start scrolling after an automatically-calculated pre-roll. The set list auto-scrolling will stop if you open a document or lyrics, since those actions will reposition the list to center the current song.
Minor additions and updates
- Added an option to customize the display order of the song detail fields in the Perform window and on printed and emailed set lists, in Settings > Set List Display > Set List Contents > Display Order.
- Added options to hide particular song buttons in narrow lists, to leave more room for song titles, in Settings > Set List Display > Song Buttons In Narrow Lists. If you deselect any items here, the song buttons will not appear on an iPhone or iPod touch in portrait orientation, or in the left column on an iPad.
- Added a button on the media controls toolbar and the Perform window toolbar on the iPad to route audio to AirPlay. These buttons don't appear on the smaller iPhone interface, but you can still route your iPhone's audio to AirPlay by double-pressing the home button, swiping right twice to reveal the volume slider and route button, then tapping the route button and selecting your destination.
- Changed the behavior of the "previous" button in the media controls toolbar to return to the beginning of the current song, rather than the previous song, if tapped after the first few seconds of playback.
- Added an option to emphasize the downbeat, either with a different flash color or a louder click sound, when playing tempos. Set List Maker will use the first number in a song's time signature field to determine the number of beats per bar, and will assume four beats per bar if no time signature is set.
- Added options to make tempo playback stop automatically after a number of bars, or at the end of the song's duration, in Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options. If you enable more than one auto-stop option, the tempo will stop when it reaches the first one. The auto-stop options only operate in the Perform window.
- Added a cowbell to the list of tempo click sounds. Thanks to Yacoce Simões for the cowbell sample.
- Reworked the tempo flash to better synchronize with the tempo click sound, and to continue flashing while you drag a document or list.
- Added remote control options to adjust the device volume up or down. One input message adjusts the volume by 1/32 of the total range, which is twice as fine as the hardware switch on the side of iOS devices.
- Added an option for a delay between MIDI program changes and raw MIDI data, in Settings > Automation > Song Selection Actions > With Delay Between.
- Adjusted the document auto-scroll calculations to include a post-roll as well as a pre-roll to ensure that the last portion of the document is displayed early enough.
- Updated the document auto-scroll button in the Perform window to reflect whether auto-scrolling is available if you zoom the lyrics or change the window layout or device orientation, and to continue displaying a countdown timer while overriding the document position with a drag action.
- Added an option to set the text size of the detail line in the Perform window separately from the text size of the song title, in Settings > Set List Display > Screen Display > Details Size.
- Added the document buttons to the Import from Playlist window, so you can preview any attached lyrics before importing.
- Updated the database sync connectivity so that if you have a wi-fi connection but no Internet connection, you will still be able to open databases.
Bug fixes
- Corrected the alignment of MIDI program changes with songs if your show contains empty sets.
- Fixed the shortcuts for Smart Lists in languages other than English.
- Restored the style shortcuts and headings when viewing the Songs By Style Smart List in the Perform window.
- Restored the song counts and durations in the Smart List headings.
- Updated the song selection actions so they are not triggered a second time if you open a document for a song that's already selected.
- Updated the Roll Back function so that the progress indicator appears immediately after starting a rollback operation.
- Updated the navigation popover used on an iPad in portrait orientation so that it closes when you select a Smart List, but does not close when you select a database.
- Disabled the Annotate and Open In buttons in the document viewer when viewing lyrics on an iPhone or iPod touch.
- Disabled the Songs button in the Perform window when viewing a Smart List.
- Fixed an occasional disconnect of the location slider when playing recordings.
- Prevented the Lyrics label from appearing incorrectly on songs if you overwrite an existing database by syncing, with the documents syncing disabled and lyrics syncing enabled.
Version 3.1.2, 1/7/13
- Worked around an issue where lyrics with the default text color are sometimes not displayed in the document viewer (again).
- Fixed the gray and dark gray text color options in the lyrics and notes formatting toolbars.
- Improved the sensitivity of the buttons in the lyrics and notes formatting toolbars.
- Fixed a crash when opening the Shows list in the Add Songs window and selecting a show with breaks or pauses.
- Stopped including the current show in the Shows list in the Add Songs window.
- Fixed a crash when opening the Perform window for a show with no songs.
- Restored missing tempo and pitch buttons in the Perform window.
- Fixed the importing of starting pitches from a text file.
- Added an option in Settings > General Settings to set the interface language independently of the overall device language.
- Restored the section headings to the Songs By Style smart list.
- Fixed the text size calculations in printed and emailed set lists when the One Page Per Set option is enabled.
- Removed the Lyrics item from the Documents list in the song edit window when the lyrics field consists only of spaces or line breaks.
- Stopped setting the default song title when attaching a photo to a new song.
- Disabled the Open In button in the document viewer when viewing lyrics.
Version 3.1.1, 12/20/12
- Fixed a crash in the upgrade window.
- Worked around an issue where lyrics with the default text color are sometimes not displayed in the document viewer.
- Restored the ability to select from a song's additional documents by tapping and holding the document icon in the Perform window with the document viewer open.
- Fixed a crash that could occur if you tapped at the end of a formatted text field.
Version 3.1, 12/13/12
Click here for a demo video of new features in this version.
New features
- The app interface is now localized for German, Dutch, Danish and Italian. (French is coming soon.) Huge thanks to my patient and conscientious translation volunteers: Christoph Kögler and René Tillmanns (German), Richard Burne and Ralph Hopstaken (Dutch), Rasmus Holt (Danish), Gianni Gori and Antonello Caravano (Italian).
- Added document annotation options (three pen colors and three highlighter colors) to the document viewer in the main window. Any annotations applied here will be displayed throughout the app and will be synced to other devices, unless the Settings > Database Sync > Sync Contents > Document Annotations setting is disabled. Annotations are not included when you print or email your documents, but I hope to add this capability in the future.
- Added text formatting options (bold, italic, underline, left/center/right alignment and color) to the Lyrics and Notes editing fields. Any formatting applied here will be displayed throughout the app and will be synced to other devices. Formatting will be included when you print your lyrics but not when you email them, but I hope to add this capability in the future. (This feature requires iOS 6.)
- Added search fields to various lists throughout the app. Look for the search icon in the toolbars!
- Added a Songs button to the Perform window so that you can quickly insert songs into a show during a performance. If a song is highlighted in the Perform window when you add a new song, the new song will be added after the highlighted song. Otherwise, it will be added at the end of the show. Songs added in this way will be permanently saved to your show so you have a record of what was actually performed.
- Added a Shows button to the Add Songs window so that you can add songs from a previous show when building a new show. Songs from a show are listed in the show order, so you can easily add them to the new show in the same order.
- Add an Add Pause button to the Edit Songs window so that you can add pauses to your set list. You can use pauses to visually separate groups of songs in a set. If you enter a Time During Pauses value in Settings > General Settings > Defaults, Set List Maker will included that time in its show duration calculations.
- Added drag handles to the break rows in the Edit Songs window so you can drag and drop breaks in addition to dragging and dropping songs.
- Added a Select Next Song When Recording Ends option in Settings > Automation. In conjunction with the Song Selection Actions, you can use this setting to automatically play all the recordings in your set, displaying documents and centering the set list display as you go. If you define a value for the time between songs in Settings > General Settings > Defaults, this feature will wait for that length of time before continuing. The feature will stop when it reaches a pause or a break, or a song that has no recording.
Minor additions and updates
- Updated the document buttons in the Perform window so that if you're viewing a document, you can tap the document icon to start auto-scrolling. The button will then change to a timer that counts down the auto-scrolling pre-roll and then the auto-scrolling duration.
- Updated the auto-scroll calculations to allow pausing and restarting the auto-scrolling, and to adjust its pace after a pause or a drag to finish at the same time.
- Added options to change the font of the built-in lyrics display. The Settings > General Settings window now includes options for a casual, serif and sans-serif font.
- Added remote control options to show and hide notes and to start and stop auto-scrolling.
- Updated the notes display on the iPhone and iPod touch to use a full screen window.
- Updated the Email and Print buttons in the document viewer to work with the built-in lyrics fields.
- Added an option to Settings > Tempo & Pitch to play pitch sounds as you select them in the song edit window.
- Added an option to Settings > Custom Fields to turn auto-capitalization on or off for each of your custom fields.
- Added a divider to the Shows list between undated shows, which are sorted by name above the divider, and dated shows, which are sorted by date below the divider.
Bug fixes
- Eliminated the pause in audio playback when viewing a document from the main window.
- Fixed a bug that caused input actions to trigger the wrong songs after changing songs with a MIDI song select message.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when playing a recording from the song list immediately after importing songs from a playlist.
- Fixed a bug that caused the currently displayed document to change in the main window when rotating your device.
- Corrected the sizing of full-screen documents and lyrics in the main window on the iPhone 5.
Version 3.0.6, 11/20/12
- Worked around an issue where set lists emailed in PDF format from an iPad could not be read in Windows email programs.
- Correctly updated a song's "included in" list when removing the song from a show or deleting a show containing the song.
- Updated the song details to not include shows in which it was added but not marked as completed, if any other songs were marked as completed, among the Last Performed and Frequency Performed values.
- Updated the song details in the Add Songs window to not include the current show among the Last Performed and Frequency Performed values.
- Updated the Photos button in the Add Documents window to name the selected photo Untitled if the song title is not set.
- Added checks to the Settings > Database Sync window to prevent sync attempts if the sync name or password is not set.
Version 3.0.5, 11/11/12
- Realigned MIDI messages and auto-scroll durations with the correct songs in the Perform window.
- Restored the functionality of the next/previous song input messages when the document viewer is closed.
- Added an activity indicator to the Add Recordings window, which can load slowly if your device contains tens of thousands of recordings.
Version 3.0.4, 11/1/12
- Fixed a crash that occurred when importing from a playlist.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when copying a song to another database.
- Fixed a bug where one song might appear as an empty row in the edit songs window.

Version 3.0, 9/7/12
Click here for a video demo of new features in this version.
New features
- Added a screen sharing option that uses Bluetooth connections. If you want to use several devices on stage, all showing the same content, this method can be easier than loading all your songs and documents onto each device. On the lead device, navigate to Settings > Live Sharing > Screen Sharing and turn on the Broadcast Screen option. Then on the other devices, navigate to Settings > Live Sharing > Screen Sharing, tap the "display screen from…" option and select the lead device. The contents of the lead device's screen will display on the other devices. To disconnect the other devices, tap the screen and then tap the Done button in the toolbar that appears. To disconnect the leading device, navigate to Settings > Live Sharing > Screen Sharing again and turn off the Broadcast Screen option. This will disconnect all the other devices.
- Added support for custom fields in the song edit window. You can define your custom fields in the Settings > Custom Fields list. They will appear as normal text fields in the song edit window, and as options in the Settings > Set List Display > Set List Contents window, so you can choose whether or not to include your custom fields in printed or emailed set lists. Note: the first time you launch this app, the Other field will be converted into a custom field named Other, which you can rename if you wish.
- Added a Lyrics field to the song edit window. If you want to view lyrics for a song and don't need to add chord diagrams or formatting, this is a simpler approach than attaching documents to your songs. You can still view lyrics in the main window or the Perform window and can zoom them in and out to set the font size, which will be saved in the Perform window. You can also add lyrics along with attached documents and select which displays by default for each song. Unlike documents, lyrics are synced between devices, unless you disable this option in Settings > Database Sync > Sync Contents.
- Added the ability to attach multiple recordings and multiple documents (formerly labeled "charts") to a song. If you tap the Recordings or Documents button in the song edit window, you can add any number of recordings or documents, then drag and drop to rearrange them. Then to access the first recording or document for a song, you can tap the recording or document icons as before; to access the additional recordings or documents, you can tap and hold the recording or document icons until a submenu appears, then select the desired recording or song. In the Perform window, only the default or last selected recording or song is accessible from hotspots or remote control.
- Added a Documents item to the main menu along with Songs, Shows, Smart Lists and Settings. This shows a list of all documents you've copied into Set List Maker, along with edit buttons that allow you to rename or delete documents. If you rename or delete a document, all the songs to which that document is attached will also be updated. Note: documents are shared across databases, so any changes you make to a document in any database will be applied to all your databases.
- Added support for landscape-oriented documents in the Perform window. Set List Maker can't determine the orientation of a document automatically, so you will have to edit any landscape documents in the new Documents list and select the Landscape option for them. After doing that, the documents will display and respond to pagination commands correctly in the Perform window.
- Added an auto-scroll option to the Perform window. With this option enabled in Settings > General Settings > Song Selection Actions, the currently selected song will automatically scroll its document or lyrics over the duration you've defined for the song. If you need to manually adjust the scroll position, you can simply reposition the document on the screen and it will continue scrolling from that point.
- Added the remaining play time and projected completion time to the toolbar in the Perform window. As you play your show, these numbers will update to tell you if you'll end on time or if you should cut or add songs. If you use the song numbering feature in the Perform window, the remaining play time includes all the songs you haven't marked as completed, plus all the breaks after the currently selected song; otherwise, it includes all the songs and breaks after the currently selected song. The calculations will only appear if you've entered the durations for all the songs in your show.
- Redesigned the Choose Songs and Sequence Songs windows. In this new design, the Choose Songs and Sequence Songs buttons (Songs and Sequence on an iPhone or iPod touch) are replaced with a single Songs button. This opens the Edit Songs window, where you can rearrange or remove songs. You can also tap one of the Add a Song buttons that appears in each set to add songs directly to that set. (You can still move songs from one set to another after adding them.) If you would like to add the same song to a show multiple times, you can use the Add a Song buttons again to add another copy of the song to the same or a different set. Note: If you attach a recording to a song, and add that song to a show multiple times, the playback controls in the main window will not update correctly in iOS versions older than 5.0.
- Added options to skip fields when syncing with other devices. You can now sync with other devices while retaining your own labels, starting pitches, notes, custom fields, document names, document zoom positions, lyrics, lyric font sizes and MIDI data. These items are still backed up to the sync server whenever you save your database, in case you need to restore them from a backup. You can find these settings in Settings > Database Sync > Sync Contents.
- Added options to email set lists as PDFs and to show each set on its own page. Emailed set lists are now sent as PDF attachments by default, but you can send HTML attachments as before by changing the Settings > Set List Display > Display Options > Email Format option. (The RTF format is no longer available.) The display options also include an option to format your set lists with one page per set. This applies to printed set lists and set lists emailed in PDF format.
- Added information on past performances. The bottom of the song edit window now contains a list of all the shows that included that song, and the last item in the database settings menu opens a report showing totals for all shows, with an optional date range.
Interface improvements
- Added a new graphic design from Joshua Carey. Since the new design has a predominantly dark background, the "dark background in performance mode" option has been removed.
- Added a custom media picker (for selecting recordings) to replace the iOS media picker, which did not rotate to landscape orientation.
- Improved the updating of recording button states when rotating your device.
- Changed the recording button to a countdown timer in the Perform window when the recording is playing. If you prefer the timer to count up, you can change this in Settings > Set List Display > Display Options > Recording Timer in Performance Mode.
- Added an extra button to the Perform window if there is not enough room for all the numbered page buttons. If you tap this button, a menu will appear listing all the pages in the current document for quick access to any page.
- Added the title of the next song to the toolbar in the Perform window in layouts that don't show the set list (iPad only).
Miscellaneous updates
- Added three more label colors (yellow, dark blue and dark gray).
- Made the text input fields wider in the show edit window.
- Updated the Copy buttons in the database, show and song edit windows to scroll to the top of the window to show the new copy's name.

- Increased the minimum font size in the Perform window from 25% to 50% of the default size to avoid display problems.
- Updated the +/- buttons to allow autorepeating (tap and hold to rapidly change values).
- Made the size of the show settings window match whether opening from the + button above the shows list or the Settings button below the show.
Bug fixes
- Restored the +/- buttons, for show sets and set list font sizes, that were accidentally disabled in the last update.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when canceling an in-app purchase.
- Enabled the tempo click sound and the notes button in the song import window.
Version 2.4.2, 8/20/12
- Improved the reloading of saved zoom positions in the Perform window, and scaled saved zoom positions to match different device screen sizes when syncing between devices.
- Fixed the center tap action in the Perform window, which sometimes didn't respond in portrait orientation.
- Fixed a disconnect in the recordings when expanding the document viewer to full width in the Perform window.
- Updated the notes popover to expand to the width as well as the height of your notes (iPad only).
- Updated the playlist import feature to skip duplicate songs if you import a playlist that contains duplicate songs. (The upcoming version 3.0 will support duplicate songs in a show.)
- Updated the Document Show/Hide input option to cycle through the three Perform window layouts in landscape mode: set list only; split view; document only.
- Updated the MIDI tempo feature to send tempo messages in batches for greater accuracy.
- Updated the MIDI Learn feature to ignore incoming MIDI Realtime and Undefined messages.
- Changed the pricing model. Set List Maker now costs $2.99 for the initial download, but the import and email functions are free for users who downloaded the app at that price.
Version 2.4.1, 8/7/12
- Fixed the "up" hotspot and remote control action in the expanded chart view of the Perform window.

Version 2.4, 7/24/12
New document display options
- Changed the document viewer in the main window to display full-screen in both landscape and portrait orientations.
- Added an "expand document" button to the Perform window when viewing a document in landscape mode. This button expands the document to the full width of the screen, replacing the show view. In this layout, tapping the top or bottom hotspots will move to the previous or next half-page.
- Updated the document viewer in the Perform window to automatically remember the last zoom scale and position for each document. When you view the document again, it will display the same zoomed area you last viewed. Multi-page documents will display the corresponding zoomed area of the first page.
- Changed the numbered page buttons in the document viewer in the Perform window to move to the top of the selected page if zoomed out, or to move to the corresponding area of the selected page if zoomed in.
- Added remote control options to view the previous or next screen in addition to the previous or next page. When zoomed out, the screen and page options are identical. When zoomed in, the screen options work like tapping a hotspot (scrolling the document up or down by the height of the screen) while the page options work like the numbered page buttons (scrolling the document to the corresponding area of the previous or next page). If you zoom your documents slightly to hide their margins but still show a complete page, the previous/next page options will work best; if you zoom your documents further to enlarge your text but only show a portion of each page, the previous/next screen options will work best.
New MIDI options
- Added a MIDI Learn button to the song edit window to help set up MIDI bank and program changes, song numbers and raw MIDI data. Any incoming MIDI messages will automatically populate these fields while the Learn button is enabled. Any messages other than bank and program changes and song numbers will be added to the raw MIDI field.
- Added a list of MIDI devices to the Settings section. If you enter names for all the MIDI devices you're using here, along with their channel numbers, then your device names will appear in place of channel numbers throughout the app.
- Added an option to General Settings > Song Selection Actions to send raw MIDI data before or after other MIDI messages. By default, Set List Maker sends raw MIDI data first.
Other new features
- Added a "Note size in performance mode" option to the Settings > Set List Display > Display Options for adjusting the size of note text. Note popovers are now also sized to fit their content, within the boundaries of the screen size (iPad only).
- Added a display of elapsed time and total time to the recording playback toolbar in the main window (iPad only).
- Updated the playlist import function to add songs in the playlist to the corresponding Set List Maker show, even if the songs were previously imported.

- Enlarged the size of the Show Settings, Choose Songs and Sequence Songs windows on the iPad.
- Increased the space between the song buttons in the list view of the main window and the Perform window.
Bug fixes

- Updated the multi-tap action for auto-zooming documents in the Perform window; it previously only worked when tapping the center area of the document.
- Updated the numbered pagination buttons, which sometimes didn't appear for multi-page documents.
- Hid the numbered pagination buttons on an iPhone or iPod touch in landscape orientation, to make room for the song buttons.
- Updated the document viewer to display correctly in the main window when opened from the navigation sidebar in portrait orientation.

- Fixed the tempo click sounds in the Perform window, which were inadvertently disabled in the last version.
- Fixed the clock updating in the Perform window, which was inadvertently disabled in the last version.
- Fixed the background audio option, which is required to play recordings and tempo clicks at the same time, for the first database to be viewed. Previously the option did not become enabled until you changed to a different database.
Version 2.3.2, 6/22/12
- Bundled all the MIDI messages for each song change to ensure that they are sent in the correct order. This should also make sysex message sending more reliable.

Version 2.3, 5/30/12
Click here for a video demo of new features in this version.
New menu items
- Added a Smart Lists item to the main menu. Smart Lists work like Shows, except they are automatically populated with songs. Current Smart Lists include Songs By Name (all active songs sorted by name), Songs By Artist (all active songs sorted by artist) and one Smart List for each Style you've defined.
- Replaced the database edit button at the top of the main menu with a Settings item in that menu. Tapping the Settings item displays options to edit individual sections of the database settings, plus style names.
- Added a Set Names item to the Settings menu. Set names are custom names that you can enter, like Encore and Extras. If you then select some of your custom set names when editing a show, the show will display with those names in the set headings instead of the generic Set 1 and Set 2 names.
Improved chart viewing
- Restored the chart viewer used in the main window before version 2.0, which allows you to play recordings and view notes, tempos and starting pitches while viewing charts. This window allows you to email charts, another feature that was lost in version 2.0, while retaining the ability to open the chart in another app.
- In the new chart viewer in the main window, or the chart viewer in the Perform window in portrait orientation, you can now hide the toolbars by tapping the center of the chart. Tap again to restore the toolbars. Tapping the top, bottom and sides still changes songs or pages, but these areas are slightly smaller now to create a larger center area for tapping.
- In the new chart viewer in the main window, or the chart viewer in the Perform window, you can now auto-zoom by double-tapping the center of the chart.
- If you have zoomed a chart and you use the hotspots or an input device to change pages in the chart, the chart will scroll a screenfull at a time (minus a 10% overlap). If you use the numbered page buttons, the chart will scroll by a whole page and show the same zoomed portion of the next displayed page.
- Added chart display to the Perform window on the iPhone and iPod touch. Although tiny, the Perform window now offers identical functionality on these devices.
- Added support for JPEG charts. You can copy JPEGs into Set List Maker from your photo library by tapping the new Photos button in the document selection window, or copy them from your computer with iTunes File Sharing. iOS doesn't support copying JPEGs from other apps with the "Open in..." command.
- Added the file extension and modification date to the chart selection list, to help distinguish between charts with similar names.
- Stopped displaying the import.txt file in the chart selection list.
New Bluetooth and MIDI options
- Added more options for Bluetooth input from foot switches or other keyboard-compatible devices. You can now use up to four foot switches, sending the left, right, up and down arrow keys, to control song or page changing, page scrolling, chart show/hide, recording start/stop, tempo start/stop or starting pitch playback. You can also choose the "previous page or song" and "next page or song" options to automatically change songs when you've reached the first or last page in a chart.
- Added options for MIDI input from foot switches, drum pads or other control devices. You can now use devices that send start/stop, song select or note messages to control song or page changing, page scrolling, chart show/hide, recording start/stop, tempo start/stop or starting pitch playback. You can also choose the "previous page or song" and "next page or song" options to automatically change songs when you've reached the first or last page in a chart. Note: most MIDI foot switches send alternating start/stop messages, so you can't use a a start/stop message to navigate forward and backward through songs and pages; either a start or a stop message will navigate forward.
- Added a raw MIDI and a song select field to the song edit window. The raw MIDI field can contain continuous controller, system exclusive or any other messages, and is sent before the program change and song select messages.
- Added a section to the database settings for Song Selection Actions. These options allow you to automatically play a recording, play tempo clicks, play the starting pitch, send MIDI program changes, send MIDI song select values or send raw MIDI data when selecting a song in the Perform window, either by using the screen or a foot switch. Note: you can only play recordings and tempo clicks at the same time if you enable the "Let other apps play audio in the background" option. Note: if you previously used the feature to automatically change tempos when selecting a new song, you will need to enable the Play Tempo Clicks option here to continue that functionality.
- If you use your song tempos to send MIDI beat clock messages, Set List Maker will now send MIDI start and stop messages when you start and stop the tempo.
New database options
- Added an option to Tempo Options to pan the tempo to the left or right channel, or anywhere in between.
- Increased the configurable text size range to 25-200%.
New song import options
- Updated the song import function to include starting pitches in the import.txt file.
- Updated the song import function to support multiple lines of notes, with lines separated by the n character sequence.

- Added Select and Cancel buttons above pickers on the iPad to make the selection process more intuitive.
- Added clear buttons (X) next to picker values in edit windows to allow removing date, time, label or style values.
- Added a View button next to the password field in the Settings > Database Sync window to make it easier to retrieve a forgotten password. This means anyone with access to your device can see your password, so if you need to keep your database secure, you should add a passcode to your device.
- Adjusted the field sizes in the song edit window.
- Increased the space between the song buttons in the Perform window.
Bug fixes
- Updated the version checking to correctly offer functionality on iOS point releases (e.g., 5.1.1).

- Updated the Perform window (again) to avoid showing the software keyboard if a Bluetooth foot pedal is unexpectedly disconnected or turned off.

- Added headings for each set in a show to the Perform window and to printed, emailed and copied set lists.
- Added alternating row colors to printed and emailed set lists.
- Added a Starting Pitch field to the song edit window, with a corresponding pitch playback button on set lists and song lists.
- Updated the tempo playback button in set lists and song lists to flash the entire row for greater visibility.
- Reworked the tempo clicks to play more accurately and avoid a delay on the first click.
- Added a choice of six tempo click sounds to the database edit window. (Sound samples courtesy of Sam Levick.)
- Added a volume control for tempo click sounds to the database edit window.
- Linked the tempo playback button to song selection in the Perform window, so if the tempo is playing while you select a different song, the tempo will switch to that of the new song.
- Added an auto-stop option to the tempo settings. This option allows you to start the tempo playback, then start your song; the tempo will stop playing automatically after the specified time interval. This feature only applies to the Perform window; tempos will play indefinitely in the main window.
- Added a MIDI beat clock option to the tempo settings. This option allows you to send your tempo to MIDI devices from the Perform window. This feature requires an in-app purchase (unless you previously purchased the "Send MIDI program changes in performance mode") and iOS 4.2 or newer.
- Added support for MIDI bank changes along with program changes when selecting songs in the Perform window. When you edit a song with the "Send MIDI program changes" setting enabled, you will now see three fields for each channel. The first field is for the bank number MSB, the second field is for the bank number LSB and the third field is for the program number. You can use these fields in any combination, leaving fields empty if you don't need them.
- Changed the numbering of MIDI programs from 1-128 to 0-127 to match the most common numbering of MIDI banks. The first time you launch this version of Set List Maker, your existing program numbers will be lowered by one, so you don't need to change your previous entries, but you should use the 0-127 numbering system for future entries.
- Updated the recording playback on song and set lists to continue playing if a chart is open.
- Added an option "Play audio in background" to the database settings. If set to On, recordings in Set List Maker will play via the Music app, and recordings and tempo clicks will continue playing when you switch to another app. If set to Off, recordings in Set List Maker will play independently of the Music app, but recordings and tempo clicks will stop playing when you switch to another app. iOS doesn't handle changes to this setting consistently, so you may have to restart the app after changing this setting.
- Renamed the "Share audio processing with other apps" option to "Let other apps play audio in background."
- Added an option to either change between pages of a multi-page chart (the previous behavior) or change between songs in a set using a Bluetooth foot pedal.
- Updated the Perform window to avoid showing the software keyboard if a Bluetooth foot pedal is unexpectedly disconnected or turned off.
- Changed the scrolling behavior of multi-page charts in the Perform window. You can now zoom and reposition charts, but multi-page charts no longer snap to the nearest page when you swipe to scroll them. They still snap when you tap the top or bottom of the page or use the numbered page buttons.
- Added a show's date, time, address and notes to the message of an emailed set list.
- Added auto-capitalization to the Key field in the Song edit window.
- Reworked the song title labels to truncate more neatly instead of overlapping with the song buttons.
- Eliminated the overlapping of song titles and song number buttons in the Perform window when the set list text size is decreased.
- Eliminated the overlapping of window titles and toolbar buttons when the window has a long title.
- Eliminated the overlapping of the "last sync" text in the database edit window.
- Updated the Rollback Versions window to show times in your local time zone instead of GMT.
- Added a workaround for a crash that can occur when restoring previous upgrades from the App Store, if the App Store doesn't supply complete transaction data.
- Increased the maximum number of sets in a show to 20. Twenty sets? You asked for it!
Version 2.1.2, 12/20/11
- Updated the Perform window to not scroll to the wrong position when you select a song.
- Updated the Show window to refresh immediately when you change the number of sets in a show.
- Updated the Sequence Songs window so that you can move a song into an empty set on iOS versions older than 5.0.
- Updated the Upgrades window to show prices and dates using local formatting and currency.
Version 2.1.1, 12/15/11
- Fixed a crash that occurs when you view the Songs list if any of your songs have empty Name fields.
- Fixed the grouping of songs by their sort value in the Choose Songs window.
- Added a Done button above the playlist picker so you can finish importing from a playlist. (iPhone only)
- Fixed the positioning of the time pickers for the Time Between Sets and Time Between Songs fields in the database edit window. (iPad only)
- Adjusted the line heights in emailed set lists to avoid overlapping text when long song titles wrap to a new line. (HTML format only)
- Set List Maker can now find import.txt files that are saved with upper-case, lower-case or mixed-case filenames.
- Set List Maker now includes your sync name in the info emailed from the troubleshooting section of the database edit window.
Version 2.1, 12/8/11
Click here for a video demo of new features in this version.
- Renamed Sets to Shows and renamed Breaks to Sets to clarify the use of set breaks within a show. (We can now say that a "show" consists of several "sets.") This change requires an update to your database data, which Set List Maker will perform the first time you open each of your databases. Therefore it is recommended to back up your device before installing this version. Also, if you are syncing your database between devices, you will need to update each device to this version before it can display your existing sets in the renamed Shows list.
- Changed the Sets (formerly Breaks) multiple-choice button to an incremental button to allow up to 10 sets per show.
- Added subheadings to the Set and Sequence Songs windows to show the number of songs and duration of each set. As in previous versions, the duration will only appear if you've entered a duration for each song in the set.
- Added letter shortcuts to the Songs, Choose Songs and Documents lists. These allow you to quickly jump to a section of a long list. The shortcuts only appear when you have more than 25 documents on your device or more than 50 songs in your database.
- Added document view buttons to the Documents list, in case you need to view a document before attaching it to a song.
- Added buttons to the database editing window to scale your font sizes up or down as a percentage of the default font sizes. One set of buttons controls font sizes on printed and emailed set lists and the other set controls font sizes on the screen in performance mode.
- Added fields to the show editing window (formerly set editing window) to help you manage your shows. You can now enter the start and end times for the show, which will appear on printed or emailed set lists, as well as the amount you are being paid for the show. You can also enter the contact person's name, phone number and email address, the venue's street address and other notes. Buttons offering quick access to this information will then appear in your list of sets.
- Added fields to the song editing window for Artist and Key Signature. Both are text entry fields and both can optionally be displayed on set lists if enabled in the Set List Contents section of your database settings. Also, both can be imported with an import.txt file. Please note that this changes the layout of that file. See the Importing Songs page on the Set List Maker website for more info.
- Added an Active switch to the song editing window. If you disable this switch, the song will still appear in your Songs list (with a gray background) and in sets to which it has been added, but it won't appear in the Choose Songs window when you create new sets. This allows you to ignore songs you're no longer playing, without deleting them from your database.
- Added buttons to the song editing window to remove a recording or chart. This does not remove the recording or chart from your device, it simply detaches it from the song.
- URLs pasted into the Notes field in either the show or song edit windows are now clickable when you view the notes. This allows you to quickly view the website of a venue or a YouTube video of a song.
- Added an option to import song data from an iTunes playlist. When you tap the Import button at the top of the Songs list, you will now see the option to import from a file (which works as before) or import from a playlist. See the Importing Songs page on the Set List Maker website for more info.
- Added a button to the Set window that copies a plain-text version of your set (songs only) to the clipboard. This allows you to paste your set into an email message, chat message or Facebook post.
- Updated the sorting behavior of some lists. In the Choose Songs window, songs are sorted primarily by the selected sort button, and secondarily by name. In the Sets list, sets that do not have dates are sorted by name and appear before sets that do have dates. In the Styles list, styles that do not have sort orders are sorted by name and appear before styles that do have sort orders.
- Added an option to send MIDI program changes whenever you select a song in the Perform window. You can enable this feature using the "Send MIDI program changes in performance mode" switch in the database edit window. When enabled, 16 fields appear in the song edit window, allowing you to enter a program number for any of the 16 channels. This feature requires an in-app purchase and iOS 4.2 or newer.
- Added support for external foot pedals to change pages in multi-page documents in performance mode. The pedal must be configured to send up-arrow and down-arrow keystrokes.
- Added support for video mirroring on the original iPad. You can now connect an external display to mirror the complete Set List Maker screen. This functionality is provided by the operating system on the iPad 2.
- Added an option to the database edit window to share audio processing with other apps. This means audio from other apps will continue playing while Set List Maker is running. However, this does not work with the Music app, other apps that play audio from the music library, or apps that do not implement the same sharing capability.
- Renamed the "song numbering in performance mode" option to "number songs in set list output," and updated it to number songs in copied, printed and emailed set lists as well as in the Perform window.
- Tweaked the Perform window so that the song whose document you are viewing remains highlighted when rotating your iPad or closing the document viewer, and the highlighted song automatically scrolls to the middle of the screen.
- Added a check to prevent you from giving two databases the same name, which would cause one database to overwrite the other.
- Adjusted the synchronization logic to avoid syncing in the wrong direction if you change your sync name.
- Improved the error checking to avoid a crash if the app can't connect to the sync server.
- Added an automatic purge to the sync system's Roll Back archive. The archive now includes all versions saved in the last 24 hours, but just the last version saved from each device for each day earlier than that.
- Increased the width of the location slider in the song playback controls in the set window (iPad only).
- Updated the date display to use your local formatting preferences throughout the app. This also fixes a crash that occurred when editing some dates when using the DD/MM/YY display format.
- Updated the recording playback so it's not affected by the shuffle and repeat settings in the Music app.
- Updated the Documents window to show documents with uppercase file extensions.
Version 2.0.6, 10/26/11
- Fixed the table resizing so that the keyboard no longer covers the Notes field in the song editing window.
- Fixed a crash that occurs after a "Cannot connect to iTunes" error, and added a code number to that error message to help troubleshoot problems.
- Fixed a crash that occurs when syncing a device that uses the 24-hour clock format by default (e.g., an iPhone in the United Kingdom) but is overridden to use the 12-hour clock format.
Version 2.0.5, 10/19/11
- Fixed an error in the last version that caused a crash when syncing a database for the first time.
Version 2.0.4, 10/18/11
- More iOS 5 fixes: Fixed a crash that occurred in the Perform window when the recording reached the end of its playback. Prevented the recording playback buttons in the Perform window from becoming dimmed a moment after starting playback. Restored the functionality of the close button on the audio playback toolbar. Disabled the unused Set List Contents options in the database edit window when the Songs Only option is selected.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused database syncing to copy in the wrong direction when using the Sync Now button. Also, added text to the Sync Now button to indicate whether the next sync will perform an upload or a download.
Version 2.0.3, 10/10/11
- Updated for iOS 5 compatibility. A remaining issue with iOS 5 is that pagination buttons and up/down hotspots for multi-page charts in the Perform window appear and disappear after a slight delay. This will be addressed in a future update if possible.
- Added a Troubleshooting section to the database edit window, with a button to email info about your database to the developer.
- Added a check to prevent slashes in database names, which prevent databases from saving.
- Added a warning message that appears if the app fails to save your database.
- Added a background color behind .txt files in the Perform window. Since there's no way to set the text color in a .txt file, the background will be set to light gray regardless of the "dark background in performance mode" setting. If you need more control over text and background colors, you would need to use a different file format for your charts.
- Sorted styles correctly if you enter sort order values greater than 9.
Version 2.0.2, 9/16/11
- Added data cleanup for corrupted sets that crash or behave erratically when sequencing songs.
- Fixed a crash that occurred if you tap the Rollback button in the database settings while your device is offline.
- Fixed a bug in the song import that prevented chart titles listed in the import.txt file from being imported.
- Adjusted the All button in the Choose Songs window so songs are added to the set in the order in which they are currently sorted.
- Added a background color behind .doc and .docx files in the Perform window in case the file has a transparent background. Since this adds a black background color when the "dark background in performance mode" option is on, you can change the text color in your documents to white to have a fully inverted screen. If you do not want your document colors to be inverted, you must either set a background color in your .doc or .docx file, turn off the "dark background" option or save your documents in a different format.
- Displayed the song name in the document viewer in the Perform window if a song does not have an attached chart. (This previously displayed "No document".)
- Adjusted the song count in the Sets list to not include breaks or songs that have been deleted from the database.
Version 2.0.1, 9/2/11
- Added an automatic backup before syncing each device for the first time, to avoid data loss if you sync a device containing an empty or incomplete database before you sync the device containing your complete database.
Version 2.0, 8/25/11
Installation notes
- Set List Maker 2.0 uses an updated format for storing your database. The first time you launch this version, it will perform a one-time conversion of your existing data. Please sync your device, which backs up your data, before installing this update just in case you experience any problems with the conversion.
- This version also has a new icon: a picture of a set list and microphone against a green background. Look for that after installation to verify that you have the new version.
- In this version, you can no longer rearrange songs directly in the set view. To rearrange songs, tap the Sequence Songs button at the bottom left of the set view, then drag and drop in the window that appears. As a trade-off, you can now edit songs from the set view.
New features
- Added a wireless sync option to manually or automatically copy your database between multiple devices -- either your own or your bandmates'. This feature requires an in-app purchase for each iTunes account. This means you can sync among your own devices for a single purchase, but syncing among your bandmates' devices will require one purchase per person. The sync functionality includes a rollback feature to revert your data back to previous versions, so you can also use this feature as a personal backup system even if you only have one device.
- Added a Perform button, alongside Print and Email, to the set list window. This new "performance mode" is designed to be used on stage, and offers larger buttons, a white text / black background option, an option to number the songs and check them off as you complete them, and options to move between charts by tapping the song names or tapping hotspots on the charts. Performance mode also includes a large clock display and suspends the auto-lock feature on your device to keep it awake during your set.
- Reworked the chart display in the main set list window. Swiping between charts and controlling audio playback has been removed from this view. Instead, the option to open the chart in another app has been added. The ability to receive incoming charts from another app has also been added. This means you can send your charts to another app for editing or annotation, then send them back into Set List Maker when you're done. This also means you can copy a chart into Set List Maker from another app or from an email attachment without connecting to your computer and using iTunes File Sharing.
- Added an option to specify your chart sizes as Letter or A4, and adjusted the sizing of charts in performance mode to fit either paper size fully on the screen.
- Added options to specify which fields appear on your printed and emailed set lists: style, key, tempo and other. Also added an option to use label colors or use only black text when printing or emailing.
- Added an option to print and email set lists with song titles only, with the songs for each set laid out into columns (e.g., a performance with three sets would generate a set list with three columns).
- Added an option to print set lists in Portrait or Landscape orientation.
- Added an option to send emailed set lists in HTML or RTF format.
- Added a button to sort by label when choosing songs for a set.
- Added the set duration to the list of sets when available.
- Adjusted some title bars on the iPhone to make it easier to see set durations.
- Added a Close button to the media control toolbar, which will be enabled if you pause a song. You cannot close the media toolbar while a song is playing.
- Added an alert message if you try to play a recording that is no longer present on your device, and updated the code to keep the other play buttons in sync.
- Corrected the positioning of song buttons in a scrolling list after rotating the device.
Version 1.6.1, 8/4/11
- Reworked the tempo click sound for more accurate timing and greater reliability on different devices.
- Disabled the toolbar buttons while copying a song to avoid a crash that occurs if you tap the Save or Cancel buttons while copying.
- Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash while navigating on iOS versions between 3.2 and 4.1.
Version 1.6, 7/13/11
Here's another update that consists entirely of user suggestions!
- Added a duration field in the song edit window, and fields for the time between songs and the length of each break in the set edit window. (You can enter default values for the time between songs and the length of each break in the database edit window.) If you have entered values for all of the songs in your set, the total duration of your set will display at the top of the Choose Songs window and the set window.
- Added an option to the database edit window to preview tempos with a click sound. This is a per-database setting and is turned off by default, so if you have multiple databases you will have to turn it for each database in which you want to use it.
- Instead of closing the Date, Style and Label pickers as soon as you make a selection, these pickers now remain open until you close them. On the iPad, you can close a picker by tapping somewhere else on the screen. On the iPhone or iPod, you can close a picker by tapping the new Done button that now appears at the top of the window whenever you edit a field, or by tapping the next field you want to edit. This should make it easier to select from long lists.
- Expanded the list of supported formats for charts to include Pages '09, Keynote '09 and PowerPoint.
- Added a toolbar at the bottom of the Databases list with buttons to view the Set List Maker support site and to send feedback to the developer.
- Added tutorial videos to the support site, showing how to get started with the app, import a song list, attach charts and use some extra features.
Version 1.5.3, 6/17/11
- Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash on launch on iOS versions between 3.2 and 4.1.
- On the iPad in portrait view, prevented the navigation popover from disappearing when selecting a database.
- Added checks to the database, set, song and style edit windows requiring you to enter a name.
Version 1.5.2, 5/22/11
- Fixed a bug that saved data under the old database name if you renamed the current database and then immediately added more data to that database.
Version 1.5.1, 5/6/11
- Fixed a crash that would occur if you added breaks to a set before adding songs to the set.
- Fixed a crash that would occur if you removed a song from a set while playing the recording for that song.
- Updated the set window to maintain the correct sequence of recordings while rearranging songs.
- Updated the Choose Songs window so that set breaks aren't removed when you select All or None.
- Added an activity indicator to the recording buttons to show when sound files are loading.
- Improved the layering of buttons in song lists so they remain above long song titles after scrolling.
- Improved the error message that appears if your song import file contains characters that can't be imported.
Version 1.5, 4/21/11
- Added a Label field to the song editing window. This allows you to display songs in different colors for whatever reason you choose. For example, you might use a bright color for songs that need practice, or a darker color for songs you aren't currently performing.
- Added a Breaks option to the set editing window. If you edit a set, you can now specify how many breaks you want to include. This will add BREAK items to your set, which you can rearrange along with your songs.
- Added the Notes, Tempo and Recording buttons to the chart window, so you can view notes and tempos and control audio playback while viewing charts. Swiping from one chart to another no longer moves the audio playback to the corresponding song -- you can control this directly with the playback controls instead.
- Added support for tempos and notes in song import files. Tempo is now the fourth field, between Key and Other; Notes is the seventh field, after the chart filename. Please visit the app website to download an example import file.
- Added an option to sort the Choose Songs list by tempo.
- Layered buttons in song lists over the top of song titles so they are still accessible with long song titles.
- Updated the iPad split view so that song edits are immediately reflected in the set list, and changing from one set to another updates the audio queue.
- Updated the emailed set lists to correctly display accent marks and other high-ASCII characters.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when viewing a chart from the Song Import window.
- Fixed a bug that made the bottom toolbar disappear when importing or deleting songs.
Version 1.4.1, 4/6/11
Fixed a bug that caused the app to quit for some users when saving a song. Fixed a bug that occasionally made the set editing buttons appear when no set was loaded. Rearranged the song tempo and notes buttons and the notes popup so the notes popup never covers the flashing tempo indicator.
Version 1.4, 3/25/11
Added a Tempo field with a Tap button to the song edit view, and a tempo button on the song list and set view to preview your tempo with a flashing indicator. Added a multi-line notes field to the song edit view, and a notes button on the song list and set list to view your notes in a popup. Reworked the audio queue on the song list and set view to avoid crashes when loading long recordings. Changed audio playback so that it continues playing while you edit songs or sets, or view charts. Linked audio playback to charts so that when you swipe from one chart to the next, the audio playback changes to the corresponding song. Added an option to hide toolbars when viewing charts: tap the chart to hide both toolbars, then tap again to show them. Configured the database, song, set and style name fields to automatically capitalize words. Fixed a bug where the set list would display the previously saved version after rotating on an iPad (even though the latest version was saved).
Version 1.3, 2/17/11
Added buttons to the Choose Songs view to sort songs by Name, Style, Key or Other. Changed Sets list to sort by date. Added playback controls to switch between recordings in a set, and to jump to a different place in the recording; also linked recordings so you can play them all in sequence. Added the ability to swipe between the charts in a set: open one chart, then swipe to the left or right to see the others. Add the ability to email charts (if you've purchased the upgrade for emailing set lists). Added support for an additional column in the song import file -- if you include a file name (with extension) of a document you have copied to your device, the song will be linked to that document upon import. Added more space between the audio and document buttons for more accurate touches.
Version 1.2, 1/17/11
Added a button to import songs from a text file (requires an in-app upgrade, and iOS 3.2 or later). Added a button to email set lists (requires an in-app upgrade). Added automatic text resizing when printing or emailing set lists to fit all songs on one page. Removed list counts from Back buttons.
Version 1.1, 1/8/11
Added buttons for attaching music file from your iPod library to each song. Added buttons for attaching a document (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .rtf or .txt) added through the Apps > File Sharing section of iTunes to each song. Added buttons for copying databases, sets and songs. Added counts to the toolbars at the top of each list.
Version 1.0.1, 12/21/10
Bug fixes: songs after the tenth weren't saved; set list changes after the first weren't saved. Added default launch images.
Version 1.0, 12/15/10
Initial release.
