This is where every song your band knows lives — finished repertoire, works in progress, recordings, sheet music, and notes.
This list
The list has four tabs:
- Songs — titles that are ready to put on a setlist. Tick On the Songs list on a song’s edit page.
- Learn list — what you are practising or touching up. A song can stay on Songs and Learn at the same time.
- Ideas — lighter titles you are still exploring. Promoting an idea to a song counts against your song quota; keeping it as an idea does not.
- Library — the whole collection of songs (active, learning, and storage). Ideas are not here. Open ? on the Library tab for search, iReal dumps, and sharing.
Add a song with Add song, or capture a quick thought with Add Idea on the Ideas tab. Click a row to open it — your band can set whether that lands on the view page or straight on edit (Settings). On edit, the ⋮ menu has Move to Ideas and, if you have other bands, Copy to other band.
A small star on a song in the list means at least one recording or audio file on that song is marked as demo material for your public artist page.
When a title has a chord chart, a music-note icon in the chart column opens that chart directly (you do not have to go through the song page first).
On the Songs list, Learn list, and Library, the ⋯ button on a row opens Add to songs (omitted when it is already on Songs), Add to learn list (omitted when it is already on Learn), and Add to setlist when you can edit setlists. Add to setlist lists your current setlists or lets you name a new one and put this song on it. A title that goes on a setlist is also put on the Songs list.
Right-click a row (long-press on a phone or tablet) and choose Bulk edit to show a checkbox next to each title. Tick songs one by one, click a row to take that whole row, or use Ctrl-click and Shift-click to add more. A dropdown at the top of the list currently has Delete; choose it and press Go. On Songs or Learn list that takes titles off this list only — they stay in the library. On Ideas or Library, Delete removes those titles for good (recordings, charts and notes too). Press Escape to leave bulk edit.
Import from iReal Pro in the header (edit rights required) starts an import of songs and charts from an iReal Pro link or HTML file. Titles you already have are skipped by default; on the preview you can merge the chart onto the existing song or replace its chord chart. From the Library tab you can paste several links, pick a winner when charts disagree, Clean library to merge duplicate rows, and Send to iReal Pro for the whole collection. From the Library tab the dump stays in the library only — no setlist is created. From Songs or Learn list, a named playlist of two or more songs can still become a setlist and those titles go on the Songs list. Settings (gear) is storage, default open page, recording channels, optional library sharing with other bands you own, and Clear library if you need to wipe storage. The band owner, or a member allowed to manage what people see, can also rename songs and hide parts of this module there. Title, description, files and the chord chart stay.
Type in the search box — results update as you type without reloading the page, and it looks through the whole current tab (Songs, Learn list, Ideas, or Library), not only this page. Punctuation and accents are ignored, so C'est si bon is also found as cest si bon or est si bon. Long lists are split across pages.
If you do not see Add song, Move to Songs, or the edit controls, your band lead has not given you edit rights on songs.
A banner appears when total song storage is full. Uploads are not blocked, but you should free space or consider a higher package.
Other screens
Open a song for details, recordings, chord charts, notes, and setlist intelligence. Practise, chord-chart editing, and iReal export live on their own pages — open ? there for those.
