* Added support for attaching documents in Word (.docx or .doc) or RTF format. BandHelper will convert those files to PDF format when it uploads them to the server, so if you add a Word or RTF file while offline, you won't see the converted file until the app can sync.

• Added a Chords Size setting to the set list Share Songs page. You can use this to change the chords size separately from the rest of the text. This can be especially useful when printing chord charts without lyrics.

• Fixed a problem that scrolled the new song out of view when adding a song from the search button after the last song in a set.

• Updated the Next/Previous app control actions to continue stepping through song-level items even after selecting pinned items.

• Fixed the positioning of grouped fields on the MIDI preset edit page when opened in a popup window on a phone.

• Removed the non-functioning Open/Close Full-Screen Document app control action. You can use the Show/Hide Document Viewer action in full-screen layouts instead.

* Added a chromatic tuner to the set list view. You can edit your layout and add the Tuner button to show it, or trigger the Other > Show/Hide Tuner app control action. Using the tuner requires microphone permission on your device. If you open the tuner while BandHelper is playing other audio, that audio might be interrupted.

* Updated the Notes button in the set list view to show all of the user's custom fields for the song, in addition to the shared notes and personal notes.

If you want to leave any custom fields out of this display, you can go to Repertoire > Custom Fields > [custom field name] and turn off Include In Notes Popup.

• Adjusted the opacity of the document toolbar and overlapping layout items on macOS 26.

* Added functions to create a custom sequence of document markers. For example, you might add markers for Part A, Part B and Coda, then create a sequence that goes Part A, Part B, Part A, Part B, Coda. Then you can step through the markers in that order from the Document Markers buttons, the Next/Previous Page Or Marker app control actions or the up/down hotspots. To edit the sequence, click the Edit Marker Sequence button in the document toolbar, then click the Add a Marker button to add as many instances of each marker as you need, then drag the "grip" icons to reorder the markers.

• Added support for .zip files in the Files module. You can copy a zip file from BandHelper to another app by clicking the Export button on the file edit page.

• Added Settings > Audio & MIDI > Persist Paired Preset States to leave a paired MIDI preset in its active state when changing songs.

• Fixed some problems with annotation positions when zooming a document.

• Updated the annotation drawing so that a single tap won't draw a dot; only a movement will trigger the drawing.

• Updated the document viewer to follow the lead device's current page if scrolling through a document with Live Sharing when the lead device is using a 1-column display and the following device is using a 2-column display. The following device should use the Fit To Height setting in this situation.

• Updated the document viewer to ignore a saved zoom position when displaying in two columns.

• Checked the account expiration date when opening the app, not just when syncing, to avoid problems if you keep your device offline for a long time and your account expires during that time.

• Restricted the size of debug logs so the Send Troubleshooting Info function can run more quickly.

• Added Settings > Advanced > App Control > Use Alternative Keyboard Handler for macOS versions that don't support the default keyboard input.

• Disabled zooming PDFs while viewing them in two columns.

• Updated the Page Buttons layout item to work correctly with a two-column display and to appear immediately when adding to a layout.

* Added a Separate Line setting to the Share Set List page. If you select a field here, that field will appear on a separate line, with the other fields sharing a line as before. This allows you to display fields with longer text on printed set lists. This setting is disabled if the Email Format is set to HTML.

* Added an option for transparent stickie notes in the lyrics and document annotations. (The color selector will be black in the dark color theme and white in the light color theme.)

! Renamed Select Next Song On Song Completion to Auto-Advance Through Songs, and moved it from the layout details to the Settings > App Control page. That makes this setting device-specific instead of layout-specific.

* Added Other > Start/Stop Auto-Advance to the app control actions, and added Top Toolbar Buttons > Auto-Advance to the layout details, to quickly toggle the Auto-Advance Through Songs setting. You can turn this on or off during a song to change what will happen at the end of the song.

* Added Recordings > Record/Save In-App Recording to the app control actions, to quickly make an in-app recording. Triggering this action skips the recording levels preview and starts recording immediately. Triggering it again skips the save prompt and saves the recording with the default filename. You can use this action in a layout that doesn't include the recording controls. If the layout includes the single recording button, that will highlight and show a timer while recording.

• Renamed the Start/Stop Automation app control action to Play/Pause Automation to better reflect its behavior.

• Updated the volume and recording speed sliders in the set list view to allow clicking on either side of the current position to nudge the position in 1/32 increments. Clicking too quickly will be considered a double-click, which resets the slider to the default position.

• Updated the set list view to allow pinch-zooming a document while annotating it.

• Updated the stage plot Edit Layout page to allow dragging a zoomed stage plot with two fingers, instead of with one finger after a long-press, for consistency with the set list view.

• Updated the event edit page to allow adding one or more set lists to the event, which is more convenient when reusing an existing set list for a new event. You can still add a set list to an event from the set list edit page, which is more convenient when creating a new set list for an existing event.

• Updated the event list to show the user response counts instead of the event category names.

• Added Settings > Appearance > Stage Plot Date Updated to include the last saved date on stage plots.
