Managing setlists
Build and organise setlists for rehearsals and concerts, including custom blocks, on web and mobile.

Mobile app
A setlist is an ordered list of songs — and anything else you want on the programme — for a rehearsal or a concert. This guide shows you how to build one, reorder and tidy it, and add custom blocks like pauses and moderation between the songs. You can do all of this on the web and in the mobile app; the songs and order stay in sync across your devices.
Setlists under your choir's name are shared with everyone and can be edited by choir managers. Setlists under Your setlists are personal — private to you and visible only on your own account.
Create a setlist
On the web
Go to Setlists in the sidebar. You'll see the All songs card, your choir's shared setlists, and a Your setlists section below.
Choose Create Setlist — next to your choir's name for a shared setlist (managers only), or in the Your setlists section for a personal one. Give it a name.
Use the search box to find a song, then click it in the Available songs list to add it. You can add the same song more than once — handy when a number opens and closes a concert.
On mobile
On the home screen you'll see All songs, a Your setlists section, and each choir's shared setlists.
Tap the next to the section you want, then choose Create Setlist. Name it and tap each song you'd like to add. A personal setlist is saved to your account; one created under a choir is shared (managers only).
Reorder, edit and remove
You can build and reorder setlists on either platform. On the web, edits are inline. On mobile, open a setlist and tap the pencil to switch it into edit mode; tap the check to save (you'll also be asked to Save changes if you leave with unsaved edits).
On the web, each item appears in the upper list. Drag the grip handle on the left to set the running order, click a song's row to remove it, and choose Save when you're happy.
On mobile, in edit mode drag a row to reorder, use Add song to bring in more numbers, and tap a row's bin to remove it.
Add custom (non-song) blocks
Concerts aren't only songs. While editing — with the quick buttons above the list on the web, or the buttons below the list on mobile — drop in non-song entries:
- Pause — a break or interval.
- Moderation — a spot for spoken introductions or announcements.
- Custom — anything else you need on the programme.
Open a block to set its Title and an optional Notes field. Notes support markdown, so you can format your moderation text or a short reminder.
Pauses, moderation and custom blocks are programme markers — they show in the setlist but are skipped by the player, which only plays real songs. In mobile rehearsal mode they appear as their own note page.
Add archived songs
Archived songs stay out of your main list, but you can still put one on a setlist. On the web, scroll to the Archive section under Available songs and click the song; on mobile, the Add song picker lists archived songs with an Archive label. Either way they're marked so you can tell them apart.
To edit or delete a setlist later, right-click its card on the web (or open it and choose Edit Setlist); on mobile, long-press its card to rename, change songs or delete it.
