Managing Set Lists

Group repertoire songs for concerts, rehearsals, and seasons

On this page

  • Create a set list

  • Put the songs in order

  • Set lists and practice lists

A set list is an ordered collection of songs from your choir's repertoire. Use one for a concert programme, the music for a rehearsal period, or any collection members should be able to find together.

Adding a song to a set list does not create a second copy. Removing it from the list does not remove it from the repertoire.

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

The status controls where the list appears:

  • Active lists appear to members once their visibility time has been reached.
  • Archived lists stay available to managers under Archived, but leave the active member view.
  • Deleted lists are removed from normal use. Their songs remain in the repertoire. The mobile management screen keeps deleted lists in a Deleted section, where they can be made active again.

Tip

Choose Archived instead of Deleted when you may reuse a concert programme next season.

Set lists and practice lists

Group practice lists use songs and audio files from a set list. Keep the set list selection current before publishing practice material to members.
