The setlist builder

The builder is two columns: your library on the right (with search), the setlist itself on the left. Click a song in the library to add it. Drag rows in the setlist to reorder. Drop a break row in between songs to mark intermissions.

Adding songs

The library panel lists every song in your band's library, with a search box. Filter by typing — title and artist both match.

Click a row to add it to the bottom of the setlist. Click again to add a second copy (yes, the same song can appear twice in a setlist — useful for an opening reprise or a planned encore).

Reordering

Each setlist row has a drag handle on the left. Drag up or down to move. Drop targets snap to between-row insertion points.

Keyboard nav also works: tab to a row, hit Space to grab, arrow up/down to move, Space to drop.

Per-row overrides

Click a setlist row to expand it. Each row has:

• Key override — different key for this gig only. See Transposing for which transpose surface to use when.
• Notes — a one-liner that shows on the stage view ("first chorus a cappella," "extended outro").

The notes show in the stage view's now/next strip under the song title so the band sees them at a glance.

Target duration

In the setlist header, set a Target duration (e.g., 60 minutes). The builder shows running total and over/under in real time.

The target also informs the autoscroll pacing on stage — if you've set per-song durations, the chart paces to land exactly at song-end. See autoscroll for the per-song fallback.

Set breaks

Click Add break in the builder header to drop a break row at the current cursor position. Each break has:

• A label (default "Set break").
• A duration in seconds.

The stage view shows the break as a centered card with the label and a countdown-friendly duration. See Set breaks for more.

Autosave

Every change autosaves. There's no Save button. The dirty indicator shows briefly when a save is in flight — if you see anything other than "saved," wait a beat.

Tip: Two people can edit the same setlist on different devices simultaneously, but last-write-wins applies. There's no live conflict resolution. Coordinate over band chat, or do edits one at a time.

Save as template

The setlist's Edit details modal has a Save as template toggle. Flipping it on doesn't change the data — it just marks the setlist as a template so you can clone it later. See Setlist templates.
