Would it be possible in a future version to allow backup to Google Drive or Dropbox? My iPad is only 16G and all unnecessary apps and data has been removed. I just tried a backup and Status got to 11:55 and then got “Ipad Storage Full”. Went to ipad storage and only thing I am not using is orig StageTraxx which would only free up 29.1MB. I guess I will have to rely on iTunes for backup.
Stage Traxx beta version 3.0.0
JDSMUSIC . Got around it. I remembered that you said the songs are now stored in a StageTraxx database and did not rely on music library. Since I will be using a second ipad to play break music I deleted those playlists from the ipad Music Library (even though I had not added them to ST3. This freed up enough space to allow me to complete a backup!
JDSMUSIC Well, once you created the backup file, you can move it to Dropbox or anywhere else in the cloud using the Files app. But for the backup itself, I'm afraid you need to have double the space of your songs.
Maybe I will add an option to only backup the database data, but I am hesitant as I fear that users might get confused about which backup contains anything and which only the database.
I’m good with it the way it is. This iPad is about four years old. Since my existing backup iPad can’t run IOS12 I will get a new one with 32 GB.
Been playing with this new version all afternoon. I REALLY REALLY LIKE IT! You covered all the short comings of old version.

Just downloaded v3521. I found that the database seems to be intact. I will test today and setup for my gig tomorrow. I’ll report back on Tuesday.
Thx Peter for a great product and even better support!

Gigged with v3521 last nite with no incidents.
One thing I noticed during my prep Monday, I inadvertently double tapped the "Play" position song. The display went down to the bottom. I didn't know what happened but noticed what was supposed to be the "Play" song was at the bottom of the list. I don't know if that is the intended function but almost freaked me out.
I have a request if it's possible in future updates: Is it possible to have the app change the chords in lyrics in relation to pitch change of the song?
Thanks Peter, I'm ready to purchase.

Hello Peter i 've tested your new version and I still have a problem . I don’t understand the logic of this version .
you put colors in the playlist category but we can’t move the next cursor when playing another song why ? Why when (in playlist mode ) we can't change the cursor play song when we have selected one song one thing ?
And sincerely I keep not understanding the useful cue list . for example I have some songs that are cut into several pieces . Leaving free some moments in the song to improvise . How can I do that?
if every time I pick a game it separates me from the others by making it go up?
why not leave a mode like the old one for those that it suited. With a fixed program and the ability to move functions next song and playing as we want ?
Thank you very much peter
best regards
What is the point of the “Done” purple bar? Can I get rid of that? I just need the Play and Next bars.

Double tap on the first song in a queue will place it at the bottom of the list. It's a shortcut do skip a song. Similar like a double tap of songs further down in the playlist that will place them on top of the queue.

Yes, this is again a follow up bug of the database changes. I will fix it shortly.
dellamore I don’t understand the logic of this version .
you put colors in the playlist category but we can’t move the next cursor when playing another song why ?
Because it is a queue. Songs will ALWAYS be played in the order from top to bottom. NO EXCEPTIONS. Therefore play and next indicators in this list are always the top 2 songs. That's why I did not have these indicators in the first place. But common consensus is that they are useful and should be there.
dellamore Why when (in playlist mode ) we can't change the cursor play song when we have selected one song one thing ?
Because a playlist is a way to prepare songs for the queue. You never play songs from a playlist, but always from the queue. You can load a playlist into the queue to play it.
dellamore And sincerely I keep not understanding the useful cue list .
It decouples the playing order from your playlists. You have way more options to modify your set during playback than with the old playlist only system.
dellamore for example I have some songs that are cut into several pieces . Leaving free some moments in the song to improvise . How can I do that?
I guess the same way you did with the old version. Or maybe I don't understand the question.
dellamore if every time I pick a game it separates me from the others by making it go up?
Sorry, no idea what you mean.
dellamore why not leave a mode like the old one for those that it suited. With a fixed program and the ability to move functions next song and playing as we want ?
Deciding what to play when is the core of the app. It is not possible offering two different approaches. That would be like developing 2 seperate apps.
rumbakid What is the point of the “Done” purple bar? Can I get rid of that? I just need the Play and Next bars.
So that you can see which songs you have already played. You can remove it by clearing the history.
dellamore You can actually move to “Songs” or “Playlist” from the player.
So, tap a song, it will be added to queue, then when the lyrics window is open, above the big green PLAY button, just tap on “Songs” or “Playlists - your playlist” and you will have your songs in the right order.
After that, just leave the app like this and you can use it exactlly like you are used to in ST2
For me it’s of an enormous help. Maybe there could be an option to mark played songs or not?Hi Peter,
I really love the latest update! One small thing: when adding the same song several times to the queue, all instances of the song become tagged as “Playing”
PS. Maybe you could remove the color tags from the queue view. Like you said, it’s irrelevant having them. These are actually only useful in Songs and Playlist views

Well yes, the tags are always connected to a song. So no matter where and how many times a song is displayed. It will always trigger the same coloring.

Maybe I should add an option for that also.
