MIDI Commands When Starting Songs

Send MIDI Start when a Song is Started

In the SongBook+ settings, you can configure whether MIDI Start should be sent when a song is started.

Send More Configurable MIDI Commands

With the "Actions on Start" button in the song's edit window, you can define any MIDI commands to be sent when the song is started.

For a description, please refer to MIDI Commands When Opening Songs.

Send the Same MIDI Commands for All Songs

In the MIDI settings under "MIDI" -> "MIDI Macros" -> "Macros when Operating Songs", you can select a previously defined MIDI macro that will be sent when every song is started. It can also be determined whether it should be sent even if the song already contains its own "Actions on Start".

For a description, please refer to MIDI Commands When Opening Songs.

Send the Contents of a MIDI File When a Song is Started

SongBook sends the contents of a MIDI file as soon as a song is started, if a .mid file with the same name as the .pdf file extended with “_start.mid” exists.

(e.g. MySong.pdf -> MySong_start.mid)

Only MIDI files of type 0 (single track) are allowed. All commands are sent at once without considering the timing. Therefore, no music can be sent this way, only commands to configure the environment.
