I use a stand with 2 keyboards and a tablet on top for Bandhelper.
On my left or right side (depends on the venue) is my laptop with GP on another stand.
I use the Chord pro files on GP, but I would like them closer by (something to do with age and reading from a distance). Has anyone have a solution for, by eample, get the Chordpro files on my tablet next to Bandhelper? Or get Bandhelper and Chordpro both on the laptop and use the tablet as second screen?
Facts: Bandhelper can’t be used in splitscreenmode as far I know.
Tablet is Android 5.1.1 (yes, also an older one. We are not as famous as Depeche Mode.
Do you have a MacBook, or a Windows laptop? Potential solutions could be very different based on that parameter.

A very smart question, and for me a bit dump not ro mention this. 
Windows 11 laptop.
you can download and create virtual midi ports

Then have GP send a program change to the virtual port out; set Bandhelper to receive the program change from the virtual port
then in GP actions have it so the song or variation send out the program change.
This is the way I drive it ( slightly different, I use a SAFP marker to send it out using a click track so it can only ever trigger once).
The opposite is to set each song in GP to a PC number and have bandhelper send this PC number to GP via the virtual port, so bandhelper drives the song selection instead of GP.
you can then have both side by side on your laptop

Ok. I have to dive into the sending and receiving Midi and PC. But how you get Bandhelper side by side on your laptop? Do you us a Windows or Mac -app ?
I use both, you just drag to the left side so it uses half the screen, then select bandhelper for the right side.
Sorry for still not understanding how you do it. I undetstand how you can use a second screen. But how do you get Bandhelper in Windows or Mac, to be able to drag it, and GP to your second screen.
You can drag and dock on the same screen or drag to another screen
@DJAA am I correct that you are using iOS? Because I’ve learned that Bandhelper does not (fully) work on a Windows OS. You can use Bluestacks to create a Android emulator, but it misses the functionality of MIDI messages.
Ah thats a shame, you could pass it via osc.
