HOW IT WORKS
① ADD MEMBERS
Start by adding your band members in the left panel. Give each one a name, role and colour — these are used to colour-code who sings what.
② ADD SONGS
Add songs to your gig. Paste in the full lyrics — use a blank line between verses and choruses to create section breaks.
③ ASSIGN LYRICS
In Edit Song, select a member and drag across words to colour-code who sings each part. Drag over the same words again to deselect.
④ CUE POINTS
Activate ★ CUE mode and click any line to add a stage note after it — e.g. "Sax player walks on stage" or "Drop the beat here".
⑤ BPM & START TIME
In Edit Song, set the BPM of the track and the timestamp when the first vocal line hits (e.g. 0:32). In Playback mode, the lyrics will auto-scroll at exactly the right speed. Hit Play when the track starts — the app counts down and begins scrolling automatically.
If the lyrics scroll too fast, try halving the BPM (e.g. 157 → 78.5). If they scroll too slow, double it.
⑥ PLAYBACK MODE
Pick a song from the list, hit Play when the track starts. Use ◀ NUDGE and NUDGE ▶ to step back or forward a line. Click any line to jump directly to it.
⑦ MULTIPLE GIGS
Use the GIGS dropdown to switch between setlists. Songs from your Catalog can be reused across gigs without re-entering lyrics.
