Added to repertoire

What is it?

The Repertoire is the single source of truth for every song your band plays or is thinking of playing. Each song's lyrics, chords, key, BPM, duration and type live on one card; no more paper, notes apps and different versions scattered around.

You add new songs as 'Ideas' first and vote them into the repertoire as a group. In the lyrics & chords editor you place chords above the words and transpose in one move; archive keeps old songs off the list without deleting them.

What's inside

Lyrics & chords editor

Type lyrics or paste from Word; place a chord above a word, change it or remove it.

Transpose in one move

Shift the song's key and all chords together. With personal transpose everyone sees it for their own instrument.

Idea voting

Let the group vote like/dislike on new songs; once everyone votes, a majority adds it to the repertoire or drops it.

Personal & group notes

Your personal notes and stage setup stay private; general notes, reference links and PDF/Word scores are shared with the whole band.

Key, BPM & duration on one card

Pick the key, enter BPM by hand or by Tap, add the duration and type — the song's specs on one card.

Autosave & undo

Every edit is saved instantly; undo the last step with Ctrl+Z if something's off.

Repertoire — lyrics and chord editor

Lyrics and chords editor

Type the lyrics directly or paste from Word; then select a word and place the chord right above it. Change or remove chords whenever you want, and the page always stays clean and aligned.

  • Type lyrics or paste from Word
  • Place a chord above the word, change it, remove it
  • The same aligned view as Stage Mode

Repertoire — one-tap transpose

Transpose in one move

Shift the song's key and all its chords together in one move. With personal transpose each member sees the chords for their own instrument only on their screen; the preference persists on their account and applies to all songs, while the song's saved key and the band's data stay intact.

  • Key and all chords shift together
  • Personal transpose only on your screen
  • Saved key and band data are preserved

Repertoire — idea voting

Idea voting

Add a new song as an 'Idea' first; members vote like or dislike. Once everyone has voted, a majority like adds it to the repertoire in one tap, a majority dislike drops it; on a tie you decide. Songs at the idea stage don't appear in the repertoire or the setlist pool, so the flow stays clean.

  • Add a new song as an 'Idea'
  • After everyone votes, it's added to the repertoire or dropped
  • Ideas don't clutter the setlist pool

Repertoire — personal and band notes

Personal and group notes

Every song has two separate note areas. In the 'Only you can see' column your personal notes and stage setup (pedal preset, pad number, tuning) are visible only to you. In the 'The whole band sees' column general notes, reference links (YouTube, Spotify, Drive) and scores/documents (PDF, Word) are shared with the whole team.

  • Personal notes and stage setup stay private to you
  • General notes, cues and transitions are shared with the band
  • Reference links and PDF/Word score files in one place

What you get

Song idea → vote → repertoire → setlist; one flow, no tool switching.

Common questions

How do I add a song to the repertoire?
All you need is the title. Type it, confirm, and the song is created and its detail page opens. On a phone the "+" opens a small sheet that asks for nothing but the name. Artist, key, tempo, duration and original-or-cover you fill in later as you go; all of it saves on its own, with no save button to hunt for.
How do the lyrics and chords work?
You type the lyrics straight onto the page. To place a chord, select the word it lands on and enter it; the chord sits directly above the word, and clicking it lets you change or remove it. You can add section headings like chorus and bridge. Transpose the song and every chord moves together with the song's key.
Can I paste lyrics I copied from Word?
You can. Lyrics pasted from Word, a notes app or a website are converted into blocks automatically. The line layout is kept and you don't have to retype anything. From there you place chords above the words and add section headings. Everything saves on its own as you go.
What is personal transpose?
If you play a transposing instrument like a Bb trumpet or an Eb sax, you don't have to transpose in your head: you pick your own key and the chords shift on your screen only. The song's key and the band's data stay exactly as they are, and the preference is saved to your account across every song. While personal transpose is on, editing lyrics and chords is locked, so you can't accidentally save the band's data in your key.
How does voting on song ideas work?
Add a song as an "Idea" and the band votes it up or down, so the discussion doesn't get lost in a group chat. Once everyone has voted: a majority yes moves it into the repertoire in one click, a majority no deletes it after a confirmation, and on a tie you decide. Songs still at idea stage don't show up in the setlist pool.
What's the difference between my notes and band notes?
Your own notes are visible only to you: a free-form note plus a setup list where you keep things like amp and pedal settings. Band notes are open to everyone: a shared note and a references block where you can add links and upload files. Each block saves separately, and the setup list can be shown in stage mode too.
Can I upload sheet music or a PDF to a song?
Yes. In the references block on the band notes side of a song you can add links and upload files: sheet music, a PDF, whatever you need. Anything you upload is visible to everyone in the band. Things meant only for you go in the personal notes and setup list in the opposite column.
Can I undo a change I made by mistake?
You can. In the lyrics and chords editor, Ctrl+Z on the web (Cmd+Z on a Mac) undoes your last change. Because everything saves automatically, a wrong move is nothing to panic about. Undo it and carry on where you left off.
What does archiving a song do, and how is it different from deleting?
If you no longer play a song but don't want to lose it, set it to "Archive". It moves to the Archive tab and drops out of the repertoire list and the setlist pool, so it won't turn up while you're building a set. Its lyrics, chords and notes stay untouched and you can bring it back any time. Deleting, by contrast, is permanent.
How do I find and save a song's tempo?
On the song's detail page you can type the number in, or find it with Tap: play the track and tap along with the beat, and the tempo works itself out. The saved tempo is visible to the whole band and feeds the visual metronome in stage mode, which won't run on a song with no tempo set.
