This is where every song your band knows lives — finished repertoire, works in progress, recordings, sheet music, and notes. Use the Songs tab for the setlist you actually play; use Ideas for titles you are still exploring.
The list has two tabs. Songs are full entries with tempo, key, recordings, and the rest. Ideas are lighter — usually just a title when you first add them — for riffs, working titles, or “we should learn this someday.” Promoting an idea to a song counts against your song quota; keeping it as an idea does not.
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 (see Settings). On edit, Move to Ideas sends a song to the Ideas tab without deleting anything. Move to Songs promotes an idea when your band still has room in its song quota.
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.
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.
Beyond title, you can store a rich-text description, tempo, key, duration (minutes:seconds, e.g. 3:45), and vocal load (instrumental through heavy). Click the duration field to open the rotary time picker (minutes and seconds are set separately in the dial); you can still type a time directly. Energy, valence, danceability, and loudness sliders describe the feel of the track — useful when you compare songs or link similar titles. Perceived impact is an optional manual override on a 1–5 slider (Low to High): the impact of a song is normally calculated automatically from its music data, and you only set this slider for the exceptions where you disagree — for example a quiet song that still lands hard. The chosen number shows next to the slider, and a song you never touch keeps no override. Signature song and Familiar song are quick flags for setlist planning.
Ready to play is the learn-list flag, on its own line under Signature song and Familiar song. Leave it ticked for songs the band can perform; untick it for numbers you are still learning. That keeps a clear practice focus — and combined with the Hit/Miss results you record in rehearsals, it lets a setlist later flag songs that still need work. The songs list also has a Learn list tab that shows only the songs you are still learning.
When adding or editing a song you can click Search online to look the title up in open music databases. The button sits right next to the title field. Type the title (and optionally the artist), pick a match from the results, and a small dialog asks what you want to apply: Tempo, key, genre & duration and/or Cover art. Only fill empty fields stays ticked by default, so anything you already typed (or that the audio analysis detected) is kept and not overwritten — untick it if you want the found values to replace what is there. Click Apply to fill the form; every field stays editable, so you can still correct or clear anything afterwards. When a cover image is found it shows as a thumbnail under the song details. Many folk, orchestral, and original numbers will not be found — in that case just type the details in by hand. Where tempo and key come from GetSongBPM, a small link to getsongbpm.com is shown, as their licence requires.
The song page shows the details you stored: artist, genre, tempo, key, duration and (when available) the cover art, so the band can see at a glance what was filled in.
On edit, tick Essential band members for who must be on this song. Under Similar songs, click Add, type to search another title in your repertoire, pick a match from the list, and choose Similar or Substitute — then Save changes on the song form so the links stick.
Next to Tempo on edit, the metronome icon opens a metronome overlay: tap TAP TEMPO or type a BPM, listen with the play control, then SAVE TEMPO to copy the value into the tempo field and close. On the view page, clicking the tempo line starts and stops a metronome at that BPM inline — no overlay there. Next to Key on edit, the play icon sounds the root note from whatever you typed in the field; on view, click the key line for the same preview.
Type in the search box on the Songs or Ideas tab — the table filters as you type, matching titles and the columns shown (tempo, key, duration on songs).
When you want to capture how something sounds — a practice take, a new arrangement, a guide track — open the song on view or edit and click Record. A recording modal opens. The recorder defaults to mono, which is what you want on most devices and saves storage; switch to stereo only if you are on a desktop with a real stereo input and the song actually benefits from it. Your band can change the default under Settings.
Enter a title, click Start Recording, allow microphone access if your browser asks, play, and stop when you are done. The green Play button beside the record controls previews what you just captured. Not happy with the take? Record Again throws it away and starts fresh — no need to save first and delete later.
Before saving, drag the handles at the start and end of the waveform to trim; only the part between the handles is stored. Click Save Recording. The file uploads and converts to MP3 in the background, so you can navigate away — the spinner becomes a player when it is ready. Your band’s plan may cap how long a single recording can run.
On the edit page, right-click a finished recording (long-press on a phone) to open a menu with Edit, Download, Analyze song, and Delete. Edit opens the same kind of modal so you can rename or re-trim; Download saves the file to your device. On the view page the menu offers Download only — edit and delete live on the edit page. Wait until any conversion spinner has cleared before choosing Analyze song.
Click Use as demo material under a finished recording to flag it for your public artist page — the label toggles straight away, no extra save step.
Sheet music, PDFs, reference audio, and links all go in Files on the song edit page. Click Upload new file, pick Upload (from your device), Link File (from a connected drive when your band uses Files), or URL (an external http or https link), fill in a title, and confirm. You can also drag individual files onto the drop zone on the edit page — folders are not supported there.
Audio files get an inline player and the same long-press or right-click menu as recordings, including Analyze song and the demo-material link. Other files open in a viewer or download when you click them. Delete uses the trash icon on each row.
Notes hold lyrics drafts, arrangement notes, setlist reminders, or anything too long for the description field. On the song edit page, Add note creates a blank note and takes you straight to its edit screen — there is no inline editor on the song page itself. Open a note from the list to read it; Edit changes title, tags, or body.
Plain notes support Tags (comma-separated labels, stored lowercase) and Use as lyrics — only one note per song can be the active lyrics note; turning it on clears it on the others. Notes that hold generated chord grids use a structured bar editor instead of free text, so they have no Use as lyrics checkbox.
Delete a note from its edit page, not from the read-only view.
When a note should be the canonical lyrics for the song, open it on edit and turn on Use as lyrics. That note then shows a Lyrics badge in lists and on the note view. Write or paste lyrics in the rich-text editor like any other note.
When you run Analyze song and tick Also generate chord schema before you start, a chord chart note appears in Notes once that background job finishes — you get a notification if you left the page while it was still running. Open the note to read key, tempo, and a bar grid; tap Fullscreen on the view page for rehearsal. On edit, the grid editor lets you split or merge sections, copy and paste chord blocks between sections, hide bars from print, and trim empty bars at the edges.
These charts are estimated from the audio — always verify by ear before you trust them on stage. If a chart already exists for that recording, a later analysis reuses its tempo and key instead of generating another from scratch.
When you want tempo, key, vocal load, and the feel sliders filled in from a take rather than by hand, right-click or long-press a finished recording or uploaded audio file on the song edit page and choose Analyze song. A modal opens explaining what will run; optionally tick Also generate chord schema, then click Analyze. The modal shows a progress state for roughly thirty to sixty seconds — you can close the browser tab and the job keeps running on the server.
When analysis finishes, the page reloads with a review modal listing what was detected. Leave Apply features to song checked to copy those values onto the song, and Save chord schema checked if you queued a chart. Click Apply and save to confirm, or Cancel analysis to discard the run. If chord generation is still running in the background, the modal tells you a notification will arrive when the chart is ready. That optional chart step uses one of your daily transcription credits per song; if the limit is already reached, the audio features still analyze and only the chord checkbox is greyed out until tomorrow.
On the song edit page, click Use as demo material under a recording or audio file to flag it. Those tracks can appear on your band’s public artist page. To set the order, open Bands → Profile settings, find the Demo material block, and drag the handle on each row — the order saves automatically. Each row links back to the song edit page.
A song can optionally be split into a few coarse flow segments — for example a calm intro, a building verse, and a high-energy chorus. This is fully optional; songs without segments keep working exactly as before.
On the song edit page, open the Flow chart card and use Add section. Each segment has:
When you add a new segment its Start is pre-filled with the previous segment's End (the first one starts at 0:00); you can always change it. Click a Start or End time field to open the rotary time picker (minutes and seconds on separate dial segments). Use the trash icon to remove a row. A small flow chart above the rows updates live as you type, using the same look as the setlist Tempo flow chart. Each segment's key is shown under its block in that chart. Segments are saved together with the rest of the song when you click Save.
These segments also feed the setlist Tempo flow chart: a song with a flow chart is drawn with internal sub-segments so you can see its dips and highs during the song, while songs without segments stay a single block. Reordering in the setlist chart always works per song.
On the song view page, the flow chart appears as a small read-only preview whenever the song has segments.
On a note view page, use PDF or Word at the bottom to export that note for printing or sharing outside the app.
Open the gear icon on the songs list. If your role includes storage settings, choose whether recordings and uploads live on the server or on a Files connection (Dropbox, WebDAV, etc.). A Files connection removes the plan caps on file count and recording length for that band, but files stay in a dedicated folder managed by the app.
Everyone with edit rights can set whether clicking a song in the list opens the view page or jumps straight to edit, and the default mono or stereo for new recordings.
Your band’s plan may limit total songs, notes per song, files per song, recordings per song, recording length, storage per song, and total storage across all songs. Hitting a limit disables the relevant Add or Upload button with a short message. A dashboard warning appears when total song storage is full — uploads are not blocked, but you should free space or add storage through your plan.
Automatic chord generation from audio is also limited per song per rolling day (often once). If you need more, wait until the window resets or ask your band lead about upgrading the plan.
Microphone access denied — check browser permissions, click Allow when prompted, or try another browser. If recording never starts, make sure no other app is using the mic.
A recording stuck on Uploading and converting… usually finishes within a few minutes. Refresh the page; if it persists, delete the stuck row on the edit page and record again.
Analyze song failing or timing out — confirm the file is fully converted, try a shorter clip, and retry. Network errors during upload mean checking your connection and file size.
If a linked Files connection breaks, Settings shows a warning — pick another connection or switch back to system storage.
For anything else, use the in-app feedback button or ask your band lead.
