Managing setlists

A setlist contains one or more sets of songs that you will use at a gig or other occasion. Each set can be assigned a name, and may contain an unlimited number of sets and songs. The same song can occur more than once in a setlist.

Setlists have their own section in the Library view. If you have too many setlists to appear on screen at once, you can swipe to scroll through the list.

SongSheet Pro can assign position numbers to songs or include songs when printing setlists or converting them to PDFs.

Create a setlist

Tap to create a new setlist. A new setlist entry is created at the top of the list of existing setlists. SongSheet Pro will ask you for a name for the setlist, then automatically enter editing mode for the new setlist.

Re-ordering setlists

To the left of the Library header (left-hand pane) is an Edit button (this button will not appear if you have no setlists). Tap it, and you will be presented with standard controls to reorder and delete setlist entries. Tap Done to exit setlist edit mode.

To move a setlist, use the handle to drag it to its new location.

In addition to the Edit button, the standard drag and drop gestures will allow you to pick up a setlist and move it to a new position in the list.

Deleting a setlist

In Edit mode, each setlist entry displays a red delete icon. Tap it, and the cell will slide over to reveal a red Delete button on the right-hand side. Tap this to confirm deletion or tap elsewhere to abort the delete.

Deleting a setlist does not delete any songs from your library.

You can also delete a setlist when not in edit mode by swiping from right-to-left across its title and tapping the red Delete button that appears.

Duplicating a setlist

In addition to the Delete option, swiping right-to-left on the setlist entry reveals a second option, Duplicate. Tap this, and a copy of the setlist will be created.

Selecting a setlist

When you tap on a setlist’s name, the right-hand pane will update to show you the sets and songs that it contains.

Simply tap on any song in the setlist to view it. When viewing a song that belongs to a setlist, you can swipe left or right to page through only the songs that are included in that setlist.

If you swipe to delete a song in this view, instead of the usual Delete button, a Remove button will show instead. Tapping this will only remove the song entry from the current setlist, and will not delete it from your library. This can be a handy way to remove a song without having to enter edit mode (described in the next section).
