Gig Songbook

• Smoother editing: reordering songs, toggling, and quick edits no longer freeze or show a spinner while iCloud is syncing in the background. • Your changes now save instantly on your device and upload to iCloud a moment after you finish — no mid-edit hitches, and edits no longer briefly snap back. ### Previous release (1.2.8) • Fixed: reordering songs in a setlist could snap back after a couple of seconds while iCloud was syncing. • Fixed: labels added in Settings could vanish or flicker while iCloud was syncing. • Paste as New Song: copied lyrics anywhere? A one-tap paste button beside the Songs search bar creates a prefilled song — title, artist, key, BPM and lyrics detected automatically. Uses the system paste control, so there's no paste-permission pop-up. • Sort your library: by Title, Recently Modified (new and imported songs at the top under "Today"), Artist, or Label — your choice is remembered. • Cleaner, Contacts-style lists: no chevrons, and tapping anywhere on a row opens it. • Start a set faster: every setlist now has a Play button right on its row, so you can launch the set without opening it. • Songs inside a setlist now show the same details as your library, numbered in order; tap one to start the set from there. • The song view now lists every setlist the song appears in.

This release makes iCloud sync between your devices significantly more reliable. • Deleted songs and setlists now stay deleted — a deletion made on one device can no longer be brought back by another device's sync. • Re-importing a song you previously deleted now sticks: it no longer silently disappears again on the next sync. • Removed audio files, stems, and score images no longer reappear after syncing. • Importing a backup now counts as your newest copy everywhere — imported songs win on all synced devices instead of being overwritten by older data. • A single damaged song record can no longer prevent the rest of your library from loading. • Songs now show when — and on which device — they were last edited; give this device a name in Settings → This Device (stored locally, never synced). • Under-the-hood sync engine overhaul for safer startup merging across devices on different app versions.

• Faster setlist building — swipe or long-press a song to Add to Setlist (add to several at once, with a checkmark showing where it already lives, or make a new setlist on the spot). • Long-press a setlist to Edit it, duplicate it with Save As…, or Lock/Unlock it — all without opening it. • Hands-free auto-scroll for songs without a backing track — tap play and the lyrics/chords scroll on their own, paced by the new song Duration (or BPM), with a live speed control and an elapsed/total readout. • New song Duration field — shown next to Key and BPM, as a clock badge in your lists, and included in import/export. • Easier song switching in performance — the song picker opens from a floating button, so tapping the screen just shows/hides the controls and never opens the picker by accident. • Chord diagrams now include piano — switch any chord between guitar and piano with a tap, with all voicings shown at once (guitar spread across the neck, piano with inversions). Your instrument choice is remembered per song and per setlist, with a new default in Settings.

• Hands-free auto-scroll for songs without a backing track — tap play in the performance bar and the lyrics/chords scroll on their own. Set a song Duration and it scrolls the whole sheet over exactly that time (or it falls back to BPM); fine-tune the speed live, and see an elapsed/total readout as it plays. • New song Duration field — shown next to Key and BPM in the editor and as a clock badge in your song list and setlists; included in import and export. • Easier song switching in performance — the song picker now opens from a dedicated button floating just above the toolbar, so tapping the screen only shows/hides the controls and the picker is never opened by accident. • Chord diagrams now include piano — switch any chord between guitar and piano with a tap. Guitar shows the standard shapes spread across the neck (open, barre, and mid-neck positions); piano shows root position plus inversions. All voicings appear at once, so there's no more cycling through them one by one. • Your instrument choice is remembered per song, and per song within a setlist, with a new default in Settings (Guitar or Piano). • Chord transposition (Pro) is now set right from the performance screen and remembered per song — and per song within a setlist, which takes priority. A small badge shows each song's transposition at a glance in your library and setlists. (The separate per-song stepper in the setlist screen is gone — set it from the performance screen instead.) • The image-vs-lyrics view is now remembered per song, and per song within a setlist — switch a song to its score images in one setlist without affecting another. Importing a PDF score opens to the image view by default. • Cleaner deletes — removing a song now also deletes its separated stem files and clears its leftover per-song settings from your setlists. • iCloud sync now resolves conflicts per song and setlist — if you and another device both make changes while offline, each item is compared individually by edit time so no edits are accidentally lost when devices reconnect.

• Improved Import audio as songs — bulk create songs from audio files with a review step for title/artist/lyrics choices. • Improved TXT/PDF/MD lyrics import — new Review Import flow with inline title/artist/label edits, parsed-lyrics preview, and duplicate overwrite/skip handling. • New Import PDF Score workflow — select PDFs, review/edit title + author + labels, preview rendered pages, then import with duplicate overwrite/skip handling.

• Older devices (iPhone 14 and earlier, pre-M1 iPad) now show a clear "Export stems to play" prompt instead of a greyed-out play button — tap Export Stems right from the player bar. • Choose stem export quality in Settings — 256 kbps (default), 192 kbps, or 128 kbps; stems are now AAC instead of Apple Lossless (~80% smaller at 256 kbps); existing stems keep working. • Stem export now completes correctly after backgrounding — stems are no longer lost when you lock the phone or switch apps mid-export and return. • Restore Purchase feedback improved — canceled restore attempts no longer show a success message. • Redesigned song filter — a bottom drawer with two columns (Artists | Labels), quick chips, and faster access on iPhone and iPad. • New Lyrics Sync — add timed lyric lines with Auto Sync via Shazam + online timed lyrics, or Manual Tap Sync. • Better follow mode — active line highlight, faded past lines, chord color accents, and smoother auto-scroll during playback. • Section header support — tags like [Chorus] and [Verse 1] are styled in performance and skipped in Tap Sync. • Tap Sync timing warning — confirms suspicious out-of-order taps before overwriting timestamps. • Smarter audio attach — importing audio now reads embedded metadata and can auto-fetch timed lyrics. • Import audio as songs — bulk create songs from audio files with a review step for title/artist/lyrics choices. • New-user demo setlist — optional starter set on first launch; can be loaded later from Settings when library is empty.

• Redesigned filter — the Songs tab filter is now a bottom drawer with a clean two-column Artists | Labels layout, identical on iPhone and iPad. Drag up for more room or down to dismiss. Below the search field, one-tap chips surface your most-frequent artists and labels with a "More" shortcut to the full filter. • Lyrics Sync — attach timestamps to every lyric line so the current line highlights and scrolls automatically during playback. Auto Sync uses Shazam to identify the song and fetch timed lyrics; Manual Tap Sync lets you set each line by tapping along with the audio in a dedicated editor. Repeated choruses always advance forward — the highlight never jumps back to an earlier occurrence. • Lyrics follow visuals — the active line is highlighted with a white background, past lines fade out, chord lines render in gold, and section headers like [Chorus] appear in purple. The waveform button turns accent-coloured when follow mode is on. • Smart audio import — when you attach an audio file to a song, the app reads embedded metadata (title, artist, lyrics) and uses Shazam to identify the track and fetch time-coded lyrics automatically, all in the background. • Import audio as songs — select one or more audio files and Gig Songbook creates a song entry for each one, reading embedded tags automatically.

Lyrics scroll within a 400 pt area; Chords and Notes within 200 pt. Fields with existing content open pre-expanded. • Song images — attach a full score, chord chart, lyric sheet or any visual reference to a song; import from Photos or Files, drag to reorder; images replace the text view in Performance and Rehearse mode with swipeable full-screen pages. • Keyboard Done button — a prominent Done button now appears in the keyboard accessory bar when editing any text field in the song editor (Lyrics, Chords, Notes), including when creating a new song. • Audio import progress — the "Resolve Artist, Song & Lyrics" button in the Import Audio screen now shows a live progress bar and counter ("Resolving 2 of 5…") so you can see exactly how far along the Shazam resolution is. • Automatic file cleanup — unused audio and image files are silently removed on launch; no more "Unused Audio Files" prompt cluttering your workflow. • Cancel Shazam resolve — while the Import Audio screen is resolving artist, song and lyrics, a Cancel button lets you stop the process at any point; results already resolved are kept. • Export progress & destination picker — Export All Songs now shows a progress bar counting each song as it is processed, with a Cancel button; when complete a full Files browser opens so you can choose exactly where to save the file instead of navigating the share sheet. • Portable media backups — JSON exports now include referenced audio files, stem files, and song images so imports restore complete songs, not only metadata. • Song list keyboard Done — the search field in the Songs view now includes a keyboard Done button for faster dismissal. • Chord charts — the guitars button opens a bottom strip of chord thumbnails; tap any chord (or a chord in the lyrics) for a large fretboard card with arrows to cycle voicings; slash chords show which string carries the bass note. • Stem separation and mixing — Generate 2 stems (Vocals + Instrumental) or 4 stems (Drums, Bass, Other, Vocals) from the song editor
