Differenciate "Songs" and other "Bits" (Video, Break, etc.)

Feature Requests

Hi Leo, still loving your program and using it in every show. Here is one request that came up the last couple of shows:

In our shows we use not only songs but also other content items such as videos, inserts, and breaks. When creating a setlist, all of these currently appear as “Songs” in the Performance view and are counted together.

This can be confusing during a show (e.g. for lighting designers or FOH), since the system might display “10 songs remaining” when in fact it is 5 songs and 5 video inserts.

It would be very helpful if songs and other content items could be tagged with appropriate attributes and displayed separately in the Performance view.

Thanks in any way,
markus

@leolabs , is there maybe already a solution/ a way to handle this but I don’t see/know it? Thanks in any way :slight_smile: Markus

Hey @juni,

Please excuse my super late reply on this feature request! That sounds like a good idea.

Would you like these parts of the setlist to still count towards the total and remaining setlist time? :slight_smile:

Hi, @leo Thanks for getting back — and no worries at all. I’m always impressed by how many features and ideas you’re able to develop and implement in such a short time. Especially while running intense beta cycles… really amazing work!

What would help us the most during a show is not only seeing how much time is left for the remaining songs, but also to see how many songs are left. So we can adapt announcements or interludes if necessary. Ideally, we’d be able to tag the songs that should count toward that calculation using specific attributes and exclude ableset show bids that are only for information purposes, announcements or videoloops etc.

Either way — thank you for taking the time to think about it. I really appreciate it! :blush:
