Hey Maverick,

Just to clarify:

  • The RTF exports being referred to are exported from BandHelper.
  • AbleSet exports itself are JSON files.

For importing song lists into AbleSet, you don’t need BandHelper — but the format is important:

  • A simple list of song names must be plain text (.txt).
  • RTF will work if they follow the BandHelper-style structure (sets, headers, separators).

Import options:

  • From a file: Setlist → Edit → drag in a simple .txt with a list of songs, or a BandHelper-style structured .rtf
  • Since beta 19: ⌘C copies the setlist as plain text, ⌘V imports a setlist from your clipboard
  • Since beta 22: you can paste a list of songs directly into the “Load Setlist” dialog
    (especially useful on iOS & Android, where ⌘V isn’t available)
