Hi Leo,
I’m really excited about beta 13’s new setlist features!
They made me think about the musical decisions involved in ordering songs.
Berklee’s setlist guide discusses variety in key, groove, tempo, meter, instrumentation and story.
Taking that as a starting point, I have three ideas:
-
Optional song information while arranging the set. Show tempo, key and instrument tuning alongside the songs, plus optional user-entered energy, groove and mood. Having the same information in the song picker would help too. Reusing the existing tempo data would avoid maintaining BPM in a description, as discussed in the earlier tempo thread. Keeping key and tuning separate would also help spot guitar changes.
-
A compact overview of the musical flow. Separate tempo and manually rated energy views following the song order could make builds and quieter moments easier to see while rearranging. Two songs at 120 BPM can feel completely different. Missing ratings should simply remain blank.
-
An optional target duration per set or part. Building on the durations already shown, compare the planned total with a target: for example, “46:00 planned / 45:00 target / 1:00 over”. Timed notes would count towards this, while open-ended loops and estimated breaks should remain identifiable as uncertain.
I’d want these to stay optional, with a clean stage view.
Thanks for continuing to develop this — I’m looking forward to where it goes!
