Adding Songs to the Repertoire

The repertoire is your choir's song library. A song only needs to be added once. You can then use the same entry in several set lists and keep its sheet music, recordings, lyrics, links, and remarks together.

Add a song in the app

1. 1

   Open the repertoire controls

   Open Repertoire and select Manage repertoire.

   

2. 2

   Search before creating a song

   Enter the title in Search or add songs. ChoirMate shows matching repertoire entries as you type. Open the existing song if it is the arrangement you need. If there is no match, the form below the search is ready with the title you entered.

   

3. 3

   Add the song

   Check the title, add the artist or arranger if you know it, and select Add. The artist or arranger is optional, but it makes similar arrangements easier to tell apart.

Add a song on the web

ChoirMate Web is especially useful when the sheet music and recordings are already on your computer.

1. 1

   Open the repertoire

   Open Set lists and repertoire, then select Repertoire. You can search the library, sort it, and see which songs already have sheet music. Select Add new song.

   

2. 2

   Enter the song details

   Enter the title and, if useful, the artist or arranger. Select Add song.

   

3. 3

   Check for an existing song

   If ChoirMate finds a close match, review it before continuing. Choose Yes, use this song to avoid a duplicate, or choose No, add the song when you are adding a different arrangement with a similar title.

   

4. 4

   Finish adding songs

   You can add several songs without closing the form. Each new entry appears under Recently added. Select Done when you have finished.

Add material and organise the repertoire

Open the song after adding it to upload sheet music and recordings, add lyrics, or attach other resources. A song can stay in the repertoire without belonging to a set list. When members should work on it for a rehearsal or performance, add it to the relevant set list.

• Upload sheet music
• Upload audio files
• Manage set lists

If your choir has reached the song limit for its current plan, ChoirMate asks you to upgrade before adding more songs.
