BandUp
Add Songs

Every song the band plays, in one library.

Lyrics, chords, key and BPM together; vote ideas in as a group and add them to the repertoire. Everyone looks at the same, current list — no 'I had an old version'.

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

From idea to stage

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

New member ready instantly

A musician who joins by invite gets instant access to every song, lyric and chord.

Common questions

How do I add a song?
On the Songs page, click the "Add song" button and enter the song's lyrics, details and, if you like, notes. Pressing "Add to repertoire" adds the song to your repertoire.
How do lyrics and chords work?
In the Lyrics and chords tab you write or paste lyrics, select a word and place a chord above it, then change or remove chords. Transposing the song shifts all chords and the key together.
What is personal transpose?
Personal transpose lets a member, for example a Bb trumpet player, shift chords only on their own screen. The song's key and the saved chords do not change for the rest of the band. The preference stays on your account and applies to all songs as an interval.
How does voting on song ideas work?
Each member votes “like” or “dislike” on songs in the ‘Idea’ status. Once everyone has voted, if the majority votes “like,” the song is added to the repertoire with a single click; if the majority votes “dislike,” it is archived. Voting takes place only while a song is in the “Idea” status.
What is the difference between my notes and band notes?
The Notes tab has two sides. My notes are visible only to you and include a free note plus a key/value setup list, for example amp or pedal settings. Band notes are visible to everyone and include a shared note plus references such as links and uploaded files like sheet music.
Can I undo a change?
Yes. You can undo your last change with Ctrl+Z. You can also archive a song and bring it back later, and edits autosave on blur so you do not lose work.

No one asks what's next.
