Hello everyone. 

I use Mobile Sheet Pro with different Android or Mac tablets. 

Sometimes our band uses a drum machine (Beat Buddy Singular Sound)
I dream of a midi command integration formula that would send a command to select the song on the drum pedal.
This command could integrate two parameters:

Setlist number (-1)
Song number (-1)

The -1 function is to equate the Midi count that starts with 0 and not 1, but it is not absolutely essential.
The setlist number opens the bank number
The song number of the setlist opens the song in the bank...

It would also be necessary to specify the tempo.

How to perform this command and integrate it into Mibile Sheet?

Thanks for help.

MIDI commands are tied to songs, not to setlists, so it's not possible to tie the "setlist number" to something used in a MIDI command with the current design/implementation. Song versioning, when implemented, could provide one way to tackle this. Regardless, I don't know exactly what you are trying to do with the drum pedal. You said you want to select a song on it - where is the documentation for it that shows what MIDI commands it supports? You can't just send any MIDI commands you want to a connected device and have it perform an action. It has to be something that the MIDI device supports, so it has to be listed in the manufacturer's documentation/MIDI list. 

I do know that with the beat buddy you can control the tempo by sending two control change messages, so that is something that I can make easier for users in the future.

Ok, but do you have a command line whe can copy to eatch song in a setlist ?

Unless it is not the best way, we could immagine "Song One in Setlist one = Song One int Beat Buddy Setlist One" ?

Consulting BeatBuddy forum, it seems Mobile Sheets didn't give any effort to help integration...

What exactly do you mean by that?

I don't have an option to copy MIDI commands between songs yet - that's on the list of things to do.
