# Setlist management overview

> Plan performances with drag-and-drop setlists, a reusable song library, and per-gig run-of-show — all in one Music Management workspace.

Build performance-ready setlists with drag-and-drop, keep a reusable song library, and attach the right set to each gig. Whether you're prepping a wedding, a club night, or a festival set, Soundcheck keeps the music organized and on time.

## The Music Management workspace

Setlists live in the **Music Management** page, which has two tabs:

* **Setlists** — your reusable templates and gig-attached setlists.
* **Song Library** — your organization's catalog of performable songs.

You can search, filter (all / templates / gigs), duplicate, and delete from the setlists list. Each card badges whether it's a **template** or attached to a **gig**, and shows its song count, set count, and total running time.

## Setlists vs. templates

A setlist has two flavors:

| Type            | What it is                                                                                                               |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Template**    | A reusable setlist not tied to any one show — a "wedding reception" or "club night" shape you stamp out again and again. |
| **Gig setlist** | A setlist attached to a specific event, visible to the team assigned to that gig.                                        |

<Tip>
  Start from a template and duplicate it for each new show rather than building from scratch every time.
</Tip>

## Structure

A setlist is organized into **sets**, and each set holds **songs**:

```
Setlist: "Friday Night at Blue Note"
├── Set 1: Opening (45 min)
│   ├── Take Five
│   ├── So What
│   └── Autumn Leaves
├── Set 2: Main (60 min)
│   ├── All Blues
│   └── Blue in Green
└── Set 3: Encore (15 min)
    └── A Night in Tunisia
```

Soundcheck totals the running time automatically — each set sums its songs, and the setlist sums its sets — so you always know whether you fit the slot.

## The setlist builder

The builder is drag-and-drop: reorder songs within a set, reorder the sets themselves, and pull songs in from your song library. As you go, durations update live.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build your song library">
    Add songs with title, artist, duration, key, tempo, and any attached charts. You can import a whole album at once from Spotify.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a setlist">
    Make a template or a gig setlist, add sets (opening, main, encore), and drag songs from the library into each set.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine the flow">
    Reorder for energy, add set notes for transitions, and check the total against your time slot.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach it to a gig">
    Link the setlist to a show so the assigned team can pull it up on-site.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Run of show on a gig

A gig's detail page has its own **Run of Show** section for building or attaching the setlist right where the show lives — pick songs from the org library without leaving the gig. The team assigned to the gig sees the setlist there, including on mobile.

## The song library

Songs are the reusable building blocks that populate every setlist. Manage them on the **Song Library** tab, where each song can carry:

* Title and artist
* Duration, musical key, and tempo
* Performance notes
* Attached charts, lyrics, and media links

## Who can manage setlists

Setlist management is available to **owners, admins, and gig coordinators**. Members who aren't in those roles see the setlist for a gig they're assigned to, but don't create or edit the library.

| Action                  | Owner | Admin | Gig Coordinator |         Member         |
| ----------------------- | :---: | :---: | :-------------: | :--------------------: |
| View a gig's setlist    |   ✓   |   ✓   |        ✓        | If assigned to the gig |
| Create / edit setlists  |   ✓   |   ✓   |        ✓        |            —           |
| Manage the song library |   ✓   |   ✓   |        ✓        |            —           |

<Note>
  On the mobile app, the setlist and song-library screens are enabled per organization. If you don't see them on your phone, ask an admin to turn them on — or use the web app.
