# Setlists

> Setlists in InnerHook, a lyrics writing app: songs in order, talks and breaks, lengths, a printout for the floor and a big-text stage view.

A setlist puts your songs in the order you'll play them, with the talks between them and the breaks. It adds up how long the set runs, prints a sheet for the stage floor, and has a stage view that shows the lyrics big, one song at a time.

## Where to find it

- **Setlists** in the rail on the left opens all your setlists. Each card shows the day, the name, the venue, how many songs and how long.
- **Add to setlist…** in a song's **⋮** menu (in the editor or on the Songs list) adds that song to a setlist, or to a **+ New setlist**.

## Step by step

1. Open **Setlists** and press **+ New setlist** (with none yet, it says **Plan your next gig**).
2. Name it, and if you like add the **Date**, the **Venue** and notes ("Notes: soundcheck, gear, who brings what…").
3. Add songs from the list on the left. Click a song to add it at the end, or drag it to where it should go. **Find a song** searches by title; **More songs** loads the next ones. Songs shared with you are there too, under **Shared with me**.
4. Add **+ Talk** for something you'll say between songs, and **+ Set break / Encore** where a new set starts. Give a break a name like "Set 2" or "Encore".
5. Put things in order by dragging a row by its handle.

Your setlist saves by itself a moment after each change (Saving… / Saved at the top).

### Each row

A song row shows its number, name, tempo and key (and time signature when it isn't 4/4), a **Note** for yourself, and its length. The **⋮** on a row has **Open song**, **Duplicate** and **Remove**. Removed something by mistake? Press **Undo** in the message that appears.

## Lengths

Each song's length comes from, in this order:

1. **The length you type** in its row, as minutes and seconds ("3:20"), or just seconds ("200").
2. **Its newest sung take** of the whole song, if it has one (see [Hear it sung](https://innerhook.com/docs/hear-it-sung/)). A Quick preview doesn't count.
3. **An estimate** from its lines and its tempo, shown with **≈**. A song with no tempo set is counted at 100 BPM; one with no words yet shows "—" and adds nothing.

A talk counts only if you give it a length. The setlist shows its total, and with breaks, each set's length. When any part is an estimate, the total gets a ≈ too.

## Print

**Print…** offers two layouts, then opens your browser's print dialog (which can also save a PDF):

- **Setlist**: big, for the stage floor, with numbers, songs, keys, tempos, talks and breaks.
- **Lyrics book**: every song's lyrics on a page of its own, with its note.

## The stage view

**▶ Stage** fills the screen with one item at a time on a black background: the song's lyrics as large as fit, its name, tempo, key and time signature, **Song 3 of 12** at the top, and **Next: …** at the bottom ("The end" after the last). Talks and breaks get cards of their own. The screen stays awake while it's open.

- **Next**: →, ↓, Space, Page Down, or tap the right third of the screen.
- **Back**: ←, ↑, Page Up, or tap the left third.
- Home / End jump to the first or last item. Esc leaves.
- **A−** / **A+** make the text smaller or bigger.
- **Count in** (for a song with a tempo) plays one bar of clicks at its tempo.

A song too long for the screen goes in pages ("Page 2 / 3"), and Next turns the page before moving on.

> **Tip**
>
> Page-turner pedals send arrow or Page Up/Down keys, so they work in the stage view.

## Tips

- **Duplicate setlist** in the top **⋮** is handy for the same set at a different venue.
- In the list, ⌘ Z undoes your last change (Ctrl+Z on Windows and Linux), and Option ↑ / ↓ on a row's handle moves it (Alt on Windows and Linux).
- A song that's been deleted or is no longer shared with you stays in the list as **Song not available**.

## Limits

> **Limits**
>
> - Up to 200 items in a setlist, and 500 setlists.
> - A deleted setlist stays in **Recently deleted** for 30 days, where you can **Restore** it.
> - Setlists belong to your own workspace and can't be shared on their own yet.
