Custom Voice Parts per Song

Match each song's sections to its arrangement

On this page

  • Set the sections for a song
  • What the override changes
  • Return to the choir defaults

Most songs can use your choir's standard sections. When an arrangement is different, Override song sections lets you choose and name the sections for that song alone.

Premium Feature

Custom voice parts per song is a Premium group feature. See subscription plans for details.

Use an override when you need to leave out an unused section, add a split part such as Tenor 1 and Tenor 2, rename a section for this arrangement, or put the sections in a different order.

By default, choir owners and administrators can manage the repertoire. A choir owner can change the minimum role in the choir settings. Learn more about roles and permissions.

What the override changes

The selected sections become the choices used for that song's sheet music, audio files, and section-specific lyrics. Custom names and ordering apply only to this song. The rest of the repertoire continues to use the choir defaults.

Warning

The group practice list can be affected when a song does not include a member's usual section. Check the song's assignments and practice tracks before publishing it.

Return to the choir defaults

Turn off Override song sections. In the app, tap Save. The song will use the choir's standard sections again.
