A set list is an ordered collection of songs from your choir's repertoire. Use one for a concert programme, the music for a rehearsal period, or any collection members should be able to find together.
Adding a song to a set list does not create a second copy. Removing it from the list does not remove it from the repertoire.
By default, choir owners and administrators can manage the repertoire and set lists. A choir owner can change the minimum role in the choir settings. Learn more about roles and permissions.

Remove a song from this list
Hover over a song and select the X beside its chevron. Confirm with Yes, or select No to keep it. The song remains in the repertoire and in other set lists. Don't ask again skips this confirmation for later removals on the same device.
Removing a song from a set list is different from Delete from repertoire in the song settings. Deleting from the repertoire removes the song from normal repertoire and set-list views.
Start an empty set list
If you can manage the list, Search or add songs is available even in view mode when the list is empty. After the first song is successfully added, ChoirMate switches to edit mode so you can continue adding songs.
Insert a song at a specific position
In edit mode, move the pointer above the first song or between two songs. An accent-coloured line marks the insertion point. Click it to open Search or add songs there. Selecting or creating a song inserts it at that position. Click elsewhere or press Escape to dismiss the temporary field.

The status controls where the list appears:
- Active lists appear to members once their visibility time has been reached.
- Archived lists stay available to managers under Archived, but leave the active member view.
- Deleted lists are removed from normal use. Their songs remain in the repertoire. The mobile management screen keeps deleted lists in a Deleted section, where they can be made active again.
Tip
Choose Archived instead of Deleted when you may reuse a concert programme next season.
Set lists and practice lists
Group practice lists use songs and audio files from a set list. Keep the set list selection current before publishing practice material to members.
