Set Lists: save the sets you play every week

Most bands have blocks of songs they play together night after night: the opener, the country set, the slow dance set, the encore. In SongChute these are Set Lists, saved once and attached to any gig.

Make a set list

Open Gigs → Set Lists in the left menu.

1. Type a name in New set list name, such as "Opener", and click New set list.
2. In the editor, search for songs and add them in order. Move them up or down, or remove them.
3. Click Save.

Each set list shows as a card with its songs, so you can see your whole repertoire of sets at once.

Save a set from a gig

Already built a great set inside a gig? Click Save to Set Lists on that set in the gig editor and it's saved for next time.

Import set lists from a list or PDF

Choose Import a list or PDF on the Set Lists page. Pick Set Lists at the top, paste your list or upload a gig PDF, check the matches, and save. If the list has several sets, each one is saved on its own ("Saturday: Set 1", "Saturday: Set 2").

Attach a set list to a gig

On any set list card, pick a gig under Add to gig and click it. The set list is added to the end of the gig as a new set, with the same name. Pick New gig… to start a gig from that set straight away.

In the gig editor, the Add a set list… menu does the same from the other side.

Print it

Every set list card has a Print button for a clean, names-only page. More on printing in Part 9.

Ideas for set lists

• Opener and Closer: the same strong start and finish every night.
• By feel: "Slow dances", "Floor fillers", "Sing-alongs".
• By request: songs the regulars always ask for.
• Wedding blocks: first dance, parent dances, cake cutting.

Next, in Part 7, we get the whole band playing from the same gig with sharing and live follow.
