Songs and setlists
Songs and arrangement versions
Keep lyrics, chords, tabs, tempo, key, and different arrangements under one song.
One song, several arrangements
A song is the permanent library item. Each song can contain several arrangement versions, such as full band, acoustic, or a revised live arrangement.
Every version has its own label, tempo, time signature, key, lyrics, chords, and tabs. One version is marked current, but a setlist always pins the exact version selected for that slot.
Structure and bar counts
Use section tags such as [Verse 16], [Chorus: 8], or [Solo 12 bars]. Bandpit uses the bar count, time signature, and tempo to estimate duration and drive Live scroll timing.
- Supported sections include intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, solo, instrumental, break, interlude, outro, and custom sections.
- Legacy or imported material can use inferred bar counts. Check any section marked as needing review before relying on it live.
- Archiving removes a song from active choices without deleting its history.
Track what needs another rehearsal
Needs work belongs to one exact arrangement, so an acoustic version can be ready while the full-band version still has an open practice note.
Editors can flag an arrangement and add a private note from the song page. The current version is also marked in the song library, and every setlist using that arrangement adds it to its rehearsal agenda.
Free and Pro access
Free bands can keep up to 10 active songs and use lyrics. Pro and trial bands have unlimited active songs plus chords and tabs.
