Setlists
Building sets from the repertoire, set breaks, notes, and printing a stage-ready list with chords.
Building a setlist
Create a setlist, give it a name (Wedding standard, Festival 45 min, Saturday at Rick's) and add songs from the repertoire. Songs are dragged into order. The running time is calculated from the song lengths, so you can see at once whether the set fits the slot.
A song can be in as many setlists as you like. Editing the song (a new key, for example) updates every setlist.
Set breaks
Insert a separator wherever the band takes a break. Give it a label such as Break 20 min or Speeches. On the printed list the separator becomes a clear divider, and the running time is shown per set.
Notes
Each item in the setlist can carry a short note: who counts in, a segue into the next song, the guest singer's name, a change of tuning. Notes are printed in small type under the song.
Printing
Print opens a clean, large-type version of the setlist for the stage: song, key, tempo, notes, one page per set when possible. Choose whether to include the structure and whether to include text attachments (chords or lyrics) after each song. The print view also works well as a PDF for the sound engineer.
Setlists and gigs
Attach a setlist to a gig from the gig page. Members then see the setlist on the gig, and the printed gig sheet includes it. A setlist attached to a past gig is a useful record of what you played where.
Duplicating
Duplicate a setlist to start a variation without touching the original. Good for the same show in a different length, or for a client's special requests.
