While a practice plan is running, cori shows how far the choir has got: as a percentage of the choir goal, as the number of people who are taking part or already done, and, if you like, per voice section. Who hasn't started yet is only visible to the choir leadership and admins, and only they can remind those people. After the appointment, the results sum up how it went and what the rehearsal should start with.
Who sees what
| Everyone in the choir | Choir leadership and admins | |
|---|---|---|
| Progress in percent and how many are done | ✓ | ✓ |
| Progress per voice section (if available, see below) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Names of those who are done | if "Show who is done" is on | ✓ |
| Who hasn't started yet | – | ✓ |
| Runs and status of each person | – | ✓ |
| Average scores per passage and voice section | – | ✓ |
If "Show who is done" is off in the practice plan settings, singers only see how many are done, not who. The practice plan shows nobody the scores of individual people, not even the leadership.
The percentage
The percentage is the same everywhere: in the plan, on the card in the choir chat and on the appointment. It sets everyone's counted runs against the choir goal, that is, all the runs the choir is meant to practise together. The ring on the home screen, on the other hand, shows only your own part.
- Listening counts once per person and passage, as long as "Listening counts" is on.
- If "Extra runs count" is on, runs beyond your own part count too. If it's off, each person counts at most as many runs per passage as are required.
- If the leadership changes what counts, cori recalculates running plans.
Because extra runs can count, the choir can reach 100 percent even if not everyone has done their part yet. What's behind the number is shown by the details next to it: "17 of 24 taking part" means 17 people have at least one run; "9 done" means 9 have finished their whole part. In the app, notifications let you know when the choir is halfway there and when it has reached the goal.
All members of the choir belong to the plan, including the leadership itself. Members you've only entered by name, without the app, don't count.
The running plan in the leadership view
- Passages: each passage shows how many people have finished it and, for sing-along, the average score, for example "5 done · avg. 78". Only the people the passage is meant for are counted. The passage that needs the most work is marked "hardest": of the people it's meant for, the smallest share has finished it, and in a tie the lower average decides. This only appears from two passages upwards.
- A person's status: "Done" means their whole part is finished; "Taking part", they have at least one run; "Not yet", they don't have any yet.
- Progress per voice section: appears if "Compare voice sections" is on, the choir has at least two voice sections and each of them has at least four people. With smaller groups, the bar would point to individual people. Members without a voice set don't count in any group. Singers expand this progress under "By voice".
Reminding people with open runs
- Open the running plan
On the web on the “Practice plans” page, in the app under “Practice plans” › “Running”.
- Choose “Remind”
On the web the button is under “Members” (“Remind 3”), in the app under “Not started yet” (“Remind (3 open)”). It appears as long as someone has no run yet.
- Check and send
“Send a reminder?” shows who it goes to (“To everyone who hasn't started yet”) and what it looks like: “A quick request from …” and below it “Will you practise before the rehearsal?” with the plan's title and end. With “Edit text” you write your own words. “Remind” sends it, and cori confirms with “Reminder sent (3)”.
What happens:
- The reminder goes to everyone with the status "Not yet", that is, everyone without a counted run, except you. The rest of the choir gets nothing, and no message appears in the chat.
- It arrives as a notification in the app. Anyone who only uses cori in the browser or has switched off "Practice plan notifications" in the app won't get it.
- If someone has already reminded people about this plan in the last 12 hours, cori tells you first, for example "You already sent a reminder …". With "Remind anyway" it goes out regardless.
- Reminding only works while the plan is running.
Progress update and thanks in the choir chat
"Share progress in the chat" writes a message in the choir chat that begins with "Progress on …" and says how many are taking part and what percentage of the choir goal has been reached. If you announced the plan there, it appears as a reply below its card. On the web you'll find the command in the plan's menu, in the app as a button below the passages.
After the appointment, "Say thanks in the chat" in the results thanks everyone who practised, with the number of people who took part. Both are reserved for the choir leadership and admins.
The results after the appointment
A practice plan ends when the appointment begins, or earlier: with "End now" or when the appointment is cancelled or deleted. After that, no more runs count, and cori sums up for the choir leadership and admins:
- Result: "Goal reached. 18 of 24 took part." or "80% of the goal. 18 of 24 took part."
- Rehearse first: the passage that needs the most work and, if there's progress per voice section, the group furthest behind on it, for example "Alto: 2 of 6 done, avg. 64 points". This passage is the best place to start the rehearsal.
- Say thanks in the chat and Create the next practice plan. The next plan takes over the passages that fewer than three quarters of the people had finished, and all passages if every passage had enough people done.
After the appointment, singers see that the plan is over and how far the choir got: on the web at the top of the “Practice plans” page, in the app on Home for two days.
Earlier practice plans
The challenges from the time before practice plans are listed there too.
If it doesn't work
- "Couldn't load the progress.": cori fetches the progress from the server, so without a connection it's missing. Check your connection and open the plan again.
- No progress per voice section: "Compare voice sections" is off, the choir has only one voice section, or at least one group has fewer than four people.
- No "Remind": everyone already has at least one run ("Everyone has started."), or the plan is over. If it says "Reminded", you or someone else sent a reminder recently.
- The reminder didn't arrive: it only goes as a notification to the app. Nothing arrives in the browser or with "Practice plan notifications" switched off.
- The results have disappeared on the web: they only stay at the top for two days and only as long as no new plan is running. In the app they remain available under "Past".
- 100 percent, but not everyone is done: extra runs filled up the goal. The leadership view shows who's missing.
