A Bluetooth page-turn pedal lets you turn pages hands-free in the chart viewer and in Perform. Songbook treats the pedal as a keyboard: it listens for a few specific keys and nothing else.
Set up your pedal
Pair the pedal with your iPad, iPhone, or Android device in the device's own Bluetooth settings. Songbook has no pairing screen of its own.
Set the pedal to a mode that sends arrow keys, Page Up or Page Down, Space, or Enter. Check your pedal's instructions for how to change its mode.
In Songbook, go to Settings > Foot pedal and make sure Pedal control is on. It's on by default.
Open a chart or start Perform, and press the pedal to turn a page.
Warning: A pedal mode that doesn't act as a keyboard is never heard by Songbook. For example, AirTurn's AirDirect mode isn't supported. Switch the pedal to a keyboard mode instead.
Which keys turn pages
Forward - down arrow, right arrow, Page Down, Space, or Enter.
Back - up arrow, left arrow, or Page Up.
These keys are fixed, and there's no screen to change them. Any of them works, and any other key is ignored. Away from the chart screens, the keys behave as normal keys again.
What one press does
In Perform - turns one page. On a song's last page, forward goes on to the next song.
In the chart viewer - turns one screen, which is two pages when you're looking at a two-page spread. It stays within the chart that's open, so moving on to the next song needs Perform.
If the pedal doesn't turn pages
Check these in order:
The pedal is paired and connected in your device's Bluetooth settings.
The pedal is in a mode that sends arrow keys, Page Up or Page Down, Space, or Enter.
Settings > Foot pedal > Pedal control is on.
You're not annotating, and no sheet or list is open, such as the file list or the Order of Service. Presses are ignored until it closes.
No other screen is open on top of the chart. The side menu doesn't count: with it open, the pedal still turns pages.
If you're using a pedal with an Android device and it still doesn't work after these checks, contact support and let us know the pedal's make and model.
