⭐⭐⭐ Songbook + Set-List Online Tools ⭐⭐⭐

  • 🦋 The redesign is done 🦋

⭐ Songbook: Easy-to-use online editor

  • Edit your song in your computer’s browser: smartChord shows a code, you enter it at smartchord.de/song/edit2 – or scan the QR code
  • Have you imported online before? The IP address, the same Wi-Fi and the certificate warning are gone
  • 📖 https://smartchord.de/song/edit2

⭐ Songbook: Easy-to-use online import

  • Send your songs from your computer’s browser: smartChord shows a code, you enter it at smartchord.de/song/import2 – or scan the QR code

⭐ Set list: Easy-to-use live view for your audience

  • Your audience follows the whole set list in the browser: every song you open shows up on their screens
  • One link and one QR code from the first song to the last – no shared Wi-Fi and no IP address to type in
  • Start it in the set list via ‘View song online’ or ‘View lyrics online’ – and switch it off there as well

✔ Lyrics Pad: share your lyrics

✔ Library ‘Category filter’

  • The new entry ‘No category’ filters the items without any category
  • ‘Select all’ does not select ‘Not assigned’, so just the items with the category entries are selected

✔ Volume for the metronome and the drum machine

  • Turn them down on their own, so they no longer drown out your audio tracks – no need to reach for the volume keys of your device between songs
  • The drum machine volume is a master volume: it keeps the balance of the single drums of your kit and is found in the drum machine settings
  • The metronome volume waits in the metronome settings

✔ New documentation

🐞 Songbook

  • Chords were not recognized in songs using the fullwidth bar sign ‘｜’, as Asian song sheets do
  • With the automatic player selection the metronome stuck to every following song, even if that song had an audio file
  • A song was reported as changed although nothing was edited

🐞 Custom instruments could no longer be deleted

🐞 Hint and tip: the dialogs showed no text on some devices

🐞 Choosing a file or a folder crashed on devices where the system’s document picker is disabled – smartChord’s own file explorer steps in now

🐞 A crash caused by the system’s button animation – it could hit any screen, most often when a message popped up

✔ Other minor improvements and fixes
