Bluetooth pedals

SongSheet Pro includes support for Bluetooth pedals such as the AirTurn BT-105.

Bluetooth pedals are seen by iOS as a keyboard with only a few keys. For example, the 4-pedal AirTurn sends key strokes for cursor up, down, left and right. By default, SongSheet Pro interprets these as previous stanza, next stanza, previous song and next song, respectively.

This means that you can accomplish the same thing via an ordinary external keyboard using the cursor keys.

SongSheet Pro offers configuration options for six different commands:

• Previous song: Moves to the previous song in the current song list or setlist.
• Next song: Moves to the next song in the current song list or setlist.
• Play/Pause: Starts or pauses auto scroll, a timed arrangement, or a backing track.
• Advance 2s: Advances auto scroll by 2 seconds.
• Previous stanza: If the song has an arrangement, moves to the previous marker; otherwise, moves to the previous stanza.
• Next stanza: If the song has an arrangement, moves to the next marker; otherwise, moves to the next stanza.

To change these settings, open the app Settings, choose Remote control, then tap Configure.

To assign a command, tap the command and then press the key or pedal you want to use for it. To disable a command, tap the command, then tap the trash icon. To save your changes, tap Save changes. To reset all commands to their defaults, tap Load defaults.

The default configuration is:

• Previous song: ←
• Next song: →
• Play/Pause: space
• Advance 2s: ⏎/return
• Previous stanza: ↑
• Next stanza: ↓

See the documentation for your particular pedal in order to pair and connect it to your iPad. Once connected, it should work with SongSheet Pro out of the box.

Alternatively, for more flexibility, use the free SongSheet Remote app on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
