Creating, saving, and reusing a set list

Set lists are essential for any show, and creating and saving a set list in Master Tour is straightforward. You can create a new setlist, reuse set lists from previous dates, or rewrite a set list from scratch.There are two main sections in the set list section - the Song Pool and the Set List. We will be referring to these sections, so please look at the screen shot for reference. 

Adding songs to a set list

In order to create a set list, you will need an event for the date. Once you have your event, go ahead and add songs to the song pool by clicking the Add Song button in the Song Pool section. Add as many songs as you would like, but just be sure to add information to the As Printed section. We have these two sections because often, the song name is different than the song title itself, whether it is due to space limitations or a nickname the song is given. Whatever the reason may be, if you do not enter any information in the As Printed section, your set list printout will be blank.

Building a new set list

Once you have added songs to the song pool, it is now time to create the set list. On the left of the song name (in the Song Pool), there is an arrow pointing left. Click on the button to add the song to the set list. After you have added songs to the set list, you can reorder the songs by dragging and dropping them in the correct order. Once you have created your set list and it is in the order you would like it to be, you have one of two options. You can save the set list to a name of your choosing, or you can allow the system to name the set list. Saving the set list with a name of your choosing is highly recommended; if you had a great set the night before, it is much easier to find a set list based on a name or location than to try to find it in the midst of a set of dates.

If you have created a set list, you can now use it on different dates. To load a set list to a different date, just click on the date you would like to add the set list to and click the Load Set button located at the bottom of the set list. If you have created a set list that you would no longer like to use, click the Load Set button and choose the set list to delete. Once it has been located, click the Delete Selected Set button.

While working on a set list, you may have realized that you would like to work with a clean set list. Press the Clear Set button, and this will clear out the entire set list.

Once your set list has been created, you can now print your set list.
