Songs and practice

Song charts in the week’s key, practice tracks, the setlist for tracks, and changing the songs as the worship leader.

Songs on a plan’s run sheet open their chart and practice files. The songs come from your church’s song library. See Songs.

A song’s chart

Tap a song on the run sheet. At the top are the title, artist, tempo, the key and arrangement for this week (like “A · Acoustic”), the song’s order, and the CCLI number. Under that are any notes for their team, and Apple Music and Spotify buttons when the song has a reference recording.

The chart shows chords over the lyrics, already in the key the run sheet calls for.

  • Transpose: use − and + at the top to move it a half step at a time. The key in between shows where they are.
  • Chart options (the text size button):
    • Lyrics only hides the chords. People who only sing start here.
    • Capo picks a capo fret and shows the chord shapes to play, like Capo 2 · play G shapes.
    • Smaller text and Larger text.
  • Open the chart (PDF) opens the chart your church uploaded, when there is one.

If the song has no chart yet, it says No chart for this song yet.

Changes they make here are only on their phone. They don’t change the key for anyone else.

Practice tracks

Tracks and charts lists the song’s files for this week’s arrangement: practice tracks, rehearsal recordings, and charts. Audio opens in the practice player:

  • Play at 0.5×, 0.75×, or 1× speed without changing the pitch.
  • Skip back or forward 10 seconds.
  • Loop a section: Set A where it starts, Set B where it ends, and it repeats until Clear loop.
  • It keeps playing in the background and from the lock screen, and remembers where they were in each file.

Mark as practiced

Once they’ve accepted (or said maybe), each song has Mark as practiced. Their leaders can see who has practiced each song, and the run sheet shows a check next to it.

PDFs and Performance mode

PDFs, like charts and stage plots, open in the app’s viewer. Pinch to zoom. Performance shows one page at a time, full screen, and keeps the screen awake for the music stand. Tap the right half for the next page and the left half for the one before. Bluetooth page turners work too.

Setlist for tracks

Whoever runs tracks (and the worship leader) sees Setlist for tracks at the bottom of the run sheet. It lists the songs in order in big type, for an iPad next to Playback, with each song’s key, Tracks in key when the tracks are in a different key, tracks notes, and a link to open the song in MultiTracks or Loop Community.

Use Copy to copy it as text, or Share CSV to share it as a spreadsheet file. If the songs change after they’ve opened it, they get a notification.

Edit songs (worship leader)

The plan’s lead position, like the worship leader, sees Edit songs under the run sheet once they’ve accepted (or said maybe). So do leaders of the plan’s teams who are serving on it.

  1. Select Edit songs.
  2. Tap Edit to drag songs into a new order or remove one.
  3. Tap a song to pick its Arrangement, Key, and Sequence for this week. Picking an arrangement brings its key and sequence with it.
  4. Select Add song to add one from your church’s library. It fills the plan’s empty song slot when there is one.
  5. Select Save.

The rest of the run sheet stays where it is. Anyone who has opened Setlist for tracks for this plan gets a notification that the songs changed.

Add files

Leaders, and the worship leader for their plan, can add files to a plan. Under Files for this plan, select Add a file, then Files, Photos, or Record a voice memo, like “here’s the harmony for the bridge.” Leaders add files to a team’s library and to songs the same way.

To let a team’s members add files to its library too, turn on Members can add files to the team library in the team’s settings in the dashboard. See Teams.
