For a few weeks now, it's just the two of us. Thomas Franzek has joined the development team. Since then, we've been working even harder. And even more thoroughly. This has its consequences. New features are coming in faster than I can write them down. To be honest: With such a feature explosion, even I sometimes lose track. How are you supposed to keep up? … Read more
Callers Caddy can scroll the lyrics of a Singing Call to match the music. If you want, it can even display your own sequences. There’s more to these features than meets the eye. First, Callers Caddy needs to know which part of the text corresponds to which point in the song. For that, there are the SyncPoints. After that … Read more
First off: This article is intentionally a bit longer. It's aimed at callers who not only want to know that the choreo search works, but also want to understand exactly what the caller's caddy does internally with a sequence. If you're just looking for a quick user guide, you can safely skip this article. However, if you want to know how… Read more
The new Mainstream, Plus, and A1 programs have been in effect since September 1st. Especially at the beginning, this raises a practical question: Did I actually use every call at least once during the club night? Many callers print out the call list and check off the figures one by one. This works – but it's not ideal… Read more
New songs can now be imported into Callers Caddy even faster: via drag & drop. Simply drag the desired files or folders onto the "Import New Songs" button. Callers Caddy will automatically detect the files and folders. If it's unclear what should be imported, Callers Caddy will briefly ask for clarification. Once you've added the files… Read more
Why do you need jump markers? I don't personally need this feature. I usually just let my music play through. However, other callers like to work with recordings. In these cases, it can be helpful to be able to jump directly to specific points in a song. For example: That's exactly what Callers Caddy now offers, with freely nameable jump markers. This allows you to set… Read more
You thought your pattern was a perfect match for the music. But just before the end, you realize: I need a few more seconds to get all the dancers home. Back in the day, when calling with records, you simply rewound the record a bit. The Caller's Caddy offers exactly that option now. Just 20 more seconds… Read more
The new CALLERLAB dance programs will come into effect on September 1, 2026. Mainstream will be streamlined to 50 figures. At the same time, some figures from Mainstream and Advanced 1 will move to the Plus program. Version 0.139 of the Caller's Caddy is prepared for this change. It also takes into account that not all clubs will switch to the new programs immediately… Read more
Sometimes the most noticeable new features only take a few hours to develop. And sometimes days of work go into an update that you initially see almost nothing of. Version 0.136 of the caller Caddy clearly belongs to the second category. It includes one of the biggest technical changes since development began – and removes a boundary… Read more
A club isn't always just one dance night. Maybe your club has Plus on Tuesdays and Mainstream on Fridays. Perhaps a special event consists of several sessions with different dance programs. Or the same group meets on different days and at different times. With the new sub-locations, you can clearly represent these differences in Callers Caddy – without… Read more
