Sometimes a standard genre filter isn't enough. Sure, you can filter by pattern, singing style, genre, or search in the Callers Caddy Planner. That's helpful in many situations.

Crashes should, of course, be avoided. The goal is clear: Caller's Caddy should run stably on stage, especially in situations where a caller doesn't want to spend time searching, testing, or restarting. Music must play.

A prototype… Read more

Managing music, searching for songs, adjusting the tempo, displaying lyrics, preparing playlists – many things are much easier today than before. Nevertheless, one small problem remains in live situations: mouse and touchpad aren't always the most comfortable way to control music. Especially when you're simultaneously calling, keeping an eye on the dancers, and so on… Read more
