Missing Info and random colors

Nevermind.... I did a little experimenting. So '>3X<' needs to become '>1 3X<'.



I like the idea. Scared the crap outta me last night at rehearsal though.

Torsten,



Thanks. Yeah..... I figured it out. Unfortunately Google must have updated the app this week. Went to rehearsal last night and..... ouch.



I see that this no longer works either : {cc3:some kinda text}



So I have a gig tonight, and I'm doing the mad rush to update. Luckily, we are working from a pre-arranged setlist, so I only have to update about 30 songs.



It was quite a scare last night though!



I do think that down the road this makes it a lot easier.

Also note: I always recommend to disable automatic updates on live-related tablets - I'd rather be in control of my live software updates...

OK, that's good to hear! So I assume that custom comments are still working correctly and don't need a fix - correct?

Sorry about the last-minute rush you had to go through to fix the files for the gig - for fixing the rest of your files (and for anyone else with this issue), here's a little trick:

To make this change for a number of files automatically, you can use NotePad++ as an editor, then use its Edit-->Find In Files... function. This allows you to execute automatic find&replace across a number of files (e.g. your LivePrompter songs directory). You will need to use its Regular Expressions (RegEx) functionality to find all highlights starting with a number - use the search string '>(\d)'. This will find all "greater than" signs followed by a digit. As a Replace string, use '>1$1' - this will create the correct output of '>1' followed by your original digit. So it will replace '>5' with '>15'.

Now you can run this automatic replace across all of your songs, and you should be done. To be sure you're not messing something up, use the "Find All" button first - this will show you where it finds the search pattern in your songs. If you're OK with modifying all these occurrences with the additional '1', use the "Replace in Files" button to actually execute the replacements in your files.

Here is the replace dialog that should work:




Make sure you set the search mode to "Regular expression".


Give it a try - as long as you are only using '>' characters for highlights (and not inside comments or other tags), this should work nicely.

Cheers,

Torsten
