Set List Maker (iPad/iPhone/iPod)

Set List Maker iconIf you're a musician or other performer planning your shows, Set List Maker is for you. This app lets you:

- Create separate databases for different projects (e.g, one for each band you play in).
- Enter all your songs, and copy them between databases if needed.
- Define a list of styles (e.g., Uptempo or Ballad), specify the key and tempo for each song and add notes.
- Add songs to a set list and drag and drop to rearrange them.
- Print your set lists wirelessly from your mobile device (via AirPrint).
- Or use "performance mode" to skip the paper and take your iPad on stage with you.

You can also:

- Import songs from a spreadsheet or iTunes playlist to quickly populate your database. (Requires a $.99 in-app upgrade, and iOS 3.2 or later.)
- Enter the durations of your songs and set breaks, then see the total length of your show as you add songs to it.
- Enter the tempo for each song, then preview it from your set list with a flashing indicator and optional click sound.
- Specify which fields are included when you email or print a set list or view it in performance mode.
- Attach a chart or lead sheet to each song, then open these documents from the set list. You can attach charts after copying them into the app through the "Open in..." feature in other apps or the file sharing feature in iTunes. (Requires iOS 3.2 or later.)
- Copy your charts to another app on your device for editing or annotation, then copy them back into Set List Maker.
- Connect a Bluetooth page-turning device and advance through multi-page charts without taking your hands off your instrument.
- Enter MIDI program numbers for each song, then let Set List Maker send the program changes when you select songs. (Requires a $1.99 in-app purchase, and iOS 4.2 or later.)
- Attach an audio file to each song, then play these files from your set list to preview your set. You can attach audio files by selecting them from your iPod music library.
- Send your charts to another app on your device for editing or annotation, then send it back into Set List Maker.
- Enter YouTube links or other URLs in the notes for each song, then open those URLs from the set view.
- Enter the street address, booker's email address and phone number for each show, then open a map, email message or phone call by tapping the corresponding icons.
- Email your set lists and charts directly to your bandmates. (Requires a $1.99 in-app upgrade.)
- Synchronize your databases wirelessly between multiple devices -- your own, or your bandmates'. (Requires a $2.99 in-app upgrade per user.)

Attaching charts to your songs

If you have a document for a song, such as a chord chart, lyric sheet or music notation, you can copy that document into Set List Maker and then attach it to the song record. Then a document icon will appear in song lists, which you can tap to view the document on your device. You can watch a tutorial video, or read on for more details:

  • Set List Maker can display .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .pages, .key, .rtf or .txt documents.
  • To copy documents to your device, use the file sharing feature in iTunes. With your device connected, click it in the iTunes sidebar; then click the Apps tab for your device; then scroll down to the File Sharing section and click Set List Maker. For more info on iTunes File Sharing,click here.
  • Alternatively, if you can open the chart from another app on your device, you can choose the "Open in..." command to send it to Set List Maker. For example, if someone emails you a chart as an attachment, you can tap the chart from the email message, then use the "Open in..." command.
  • Once the documents are copied into Set List Maker, open a song edit window and tap the Chart button. This will open a list of documents you have copied in; just tap to select the desired chart.
  • If you have created your document by scanning a piece of paper, the file size will be relatively large, which will make the document open slowly when you view it within the app. The best documents are created from an electronic source such as a Word or Pages document. If you don't have an electronic source, you can experiment with your scanning settings (e.g., black and white and 150 or less dpi) to minimize your file sizes.
