Playlist

A playlist is an ordered setlist of songs, meant for performance: a sequence you go through one after another, with any adjustments for each stop.

The items: linked or frozen

Each item in a playlist can be one of two types:

• Standalone (dynamic) — a reference to a song in your library: it follows its edits, always up to date;
• Embedded (snapshot) — a frozen copy stored inside the playlist: independent, it doesn't change if the original is edited.

You can convert a dynamic item into a snapshot to "freeze" it, and — if it's a snapshot — open it in Write to edit it.

Adjustments for each item

For each song in the setlist you can set:

• a transposition (to change its key within the setlist), up to two octaves up or down; if the target key has two spellings (Gb/F#…) you also choose which one to read;
• your own notes;
• a form — the performance order of the sections (intro, choruses, repeats…).

The order of items is changed by dragging them.

Performing and sharing

In View a playlist is gone through in performer mode: back/forward between songs and a quick jump to any of them. The adjustments (transposition, form) are applied automatically to each song.

A playlist is shared with a private link, a link or a protected link (there is no public playlist in the catalogue). Whoever receives the link, after signing in (and entering the password, if the link is protected), adds it to their own material as a viewer; if it contains songs they don't have yet, they can add them or request access from the Library. It can also be exported to .nrk. The Roles on a playlist are creator, collaborator and viewer.
