The title is Simple Setlist until you type a set name. Then the name takes that spot. The blue number on the right is the total length of the songs in the current set. Under that, the minutes and leftover seconds are split out so you can see both at a glance. The song count sits beside them. With two or more songs, the average length is shown too.

Once the set has songs, two buttons appear:

• Copy puts the set on the clipboard as plain text. The top lines are the spoken total, the clock total, and the song count. Each song is numbered: title, time, artist, BPM, and key, with a dash between the parts that exist.
• PDF builds one letter-size page for the stage. White background, bold black type, the set name large at the top, then four columns: Song, Time, BPM, and Key. The artist prints in smaller type under the song title. A bracketed cue in the key, such as [big end], prints in red. If the browser blocks the download, use the Open PDF link that appears under the button.

If Copy cannot reach the clipboard, the text appears in a box so you can select it yourself.

The set name is optional. It becomes the PDF title and, once you type it, the heading on the set itself reads that name plus the word Setlist. Until then the heading is just Setlist.

• Save setlist stores the current songs, notes, and name. The created date is the day you first save it.
• Save appears once a saved set is open. It updates that same set and keeps the original created date.
• Save as new makes a second copy with a new created date, and leaves the original alone.
• New set starts a blank list. If the current list has songs, it asks you to confirm with Start new, or Keep what you have.

A set needs a name and at least one song before it can be saved.

Song name is required. Artist, BPM, and key are optional. The artist prints under the song on the PDF and in the list.

Time can be typed as 4:37 in the minutes box, or as minutes and seconds in the two boxes. If the seconds are 60 or more, they carry into the next minute, so 4:70 becomes 5:10. The line under the boxes previews what will be added and the new total.

On a wide screen, BPM, Key, and Add song sit on one row. On a phone, Add song is on its own row underneath.

Every song you add is also kept in the song library, so you can pull it into a later set without typing it again. Editing a song in the set updates that library record when the name and artist still match.

Open Paste a list under the song form. Put one song on each line. A name is required.

A list you copied from this app pastes back in. The header lines, extra spaces, the word BPM, and the dashes are ignored. The artist, when it is there, is read after the time. You can also type a short line such as Opener 4:50 118 G.

Lines that cannot be read are listed under Couldn’t read, including a time that has no song name. Add songs puts the readable lines on the set and into the library.

The set panel is collapsed until you open it. The heading is Setlist while you are still building, and the full name plus the word Setlist once a name is typed, saved, or recalled. The number beside it counts songs and notes.

Drag the handle to reorder. On a keyboard, focus the handle and use the arrow keys. The pencil edits the song name, artist, time, BPM, and key. The trash can removes that one row.

Close Setlist is the blue button at the bottom. It asks you to Confirm or Cancel. Confirm clears the list and returns the set name to blank. Cancel leaves the set as it is.

The library is every song you have added, separate from any one set. It starts collapsed. The number on the heading is how many songs are stored.

• Song name and Artist name change the sort. Sorting by artist ignores a leading “The,” so The Cult files under C. Songs with no artist stay at the end of an artist sort.
• Tap a song to select it. The check turns blue. Add to this set drops the selected songs onto the current set.
• Copy exports the whole library in the sort you are looking at, in the same text format as Copy on the set.
• The trash can removes the song from the library only. It does not delete it from a set that already uses it.

A performance note is a cue for the band, not a song. It is not stored as song data. The section sits under the song library and stays collapsed until you open it.

Type one sentence, up to 160 characters. Save note keeps it in the note list, in alphabetical order, so you can use it again. Tap a saved note to select it, then Add note. You can also type a new sentence and Add note without saving it first.

On a new set, the note lands after the last song you added. On a set you opened from Saved setlists, it lands at the bottom. Drag it into place like a song. On the PDF it prints indented, in italics, slightly smaller than the song titles.

Removing a note from the set does not remove it from the note list.

Each saved set shows its name and the date it was created. Open loads it into the setlist so you can edit it, then Save. Delete removes that saved copy. If that set is the one you have open, the name stays until you close the set or start a new one.

Share is not on the free version. It appears after you register.

Before you add a real song, a sample box offers three short times so you can see the total carry past 60 seconds. Load sample fills the set. The box hides once you have added your own songs, and it stays hidden after that.
