Hey Leo! Loving Ableset so far and implementing it into my workflow has been a huge improvement for me and my clients!
Would be amazing to have additional views, maybe attached to a tag just like +LYRICS (eg. +NOTES or +DISP1, +DISP2, etc) that would let me output stage notes/cues/utility info in time with the song.
A good use case for this would be sending spot cues to an LD before the singer takes their mark, or a note for FOH about a snapshot change. Right now I have to add the notes as comments/tags or try to color code them into the Lyrics view which clutters up that view. Would this be possible in a future release?
Hey @jspears, welcome to the forum!
You can already create multiple lyrics tracks for your use case. For example, you could have one called “Vocals +LYRICS” and one called “Notes +LYRICS”.
The lyrics view then lets you choose which track you’d like to see, so you can display different tracks on different screens.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions 
Amazing! Thank you so much.
Hello @leolabs, I’m new to AbleSet and I’m really enjoying the experience.
I’d like to suggest an improvement related to the display of notes or comments within songs. I understand that multiple tracks can currently be created, but I’m looking for a more integrated way to add annotations visible to musicians directly alongside the chords.
The idea would be to include comments within the same flow as the lyrics and chords, for example, using syntax like:
[A5] {comment: Solo AG}
The goal is for these annotations (such as technical cues or reminders) to be visible simultaneously with the chords, without needing to switch between different views or tracks. Currently, although it’s possible to have one view for annotations and another for chords on the canvas, this isn’t very dynamic in a live setting.
I also tried to achieve something similar using the Lyric Generator, but I wasn’t successful in getting it to recognize these types of commands.
I believe that implementing a feature that recognizes and displays these types of inline annotations (for example, using curly braces {} to differentiate them from chords) could significantly improve the experience for live musicians.
What are your thoughts on this possibility?
