How do I make a setlist?

  1. Open Setlists and tap New setlist.
  2. Type a name in Setlist name.
  3. Tap Add scores, pick the pieces and tap Add.
  4. Put the pieces in order, as described below.
A setlist: the pieces in order, each with its length and a note, and Play to start the first.

You can also start from a score. Choose Add to setlist in its menu and pick a setlist, or Or a new setlist. One score can sit in several setlists.

How do I reorder pieces and add notes?

  • Reorder: use Move up and Move down next to a piece, or Alt + ↑ and Alt + ↓ on a keyboard.
  • Add note: write a reminder for a piece, such as “Capo 2, skip the repeat, attacca…”. The note travels with the piece in that setlist.
  • Remove: takes a piece out of the setlist.

What happens when I play a setlist?

Open the first piece. Each piece opens and listens by itself, with no extra tap. At the end of a piece, the foot line reads, for example, Turn again for the next title, or Next: and the title. After the last piece it reads End of setlist.

Keyboard shortcuts take you to the next or previous piece of a setlist. Pedals turn pages as usual.

Listening and automatic page turns are part of SheetScroll Pro. Without Pro, a setlist is still a complete, ordered reader, and you turn pages with a pedal or a tap.

How do I share or move a setlist?

  • Duplicate: copies it as “Name (copy)”.
  • Share as a list: copies or shares the titles in order.
  • Share as PDF: makes a PDF of the list.
  • Export for forScore: makes a file forScore can read.
  • Delete setlist: removes the setlist.

Coming from forScore or MobileSheets? Choose Add → From another app and your setlists come across with your titles and tags. See the import help.

Are the courses setlists?

Yes. Setlists → Learn lists eight courses of public-domain pieces in teaching order, for piano, guitar, violin, cello, flute, clarinet, saxophone and trumpet. Tapping one creates an ordinary setlist, such as Learn violin, that you can rename, reorder, add to or annotate. The pieces listen and turn without Pro.

Can I send a setlist to someone using forScore?
