The setlist journey
Move from repertoire selection to rehearsal and stage.
Blackwires treats the setlist as a working route through the band’s material—not merely a list of titles.
Arrange
Build the running order around duration, key, tuning, transitions and the shape of the performance.
Prepare
Review structures, cues, notes, charts, recordings and member-specific copies for every selected song.
Run
Use Action Mode and Run Room to keep the set and its supporting material available in sequence.
Reuse
Keep proven setlists as reusable starting points for future rehearsals, gigs and variations.
More than song titles
Keep the musical context behind every setlist item.
Because setlists are built from the repertoire, musicians can move from the running order into the structures and material that make each song playable.
- Private and shared setlists for personal preparation, rehearsals, gigs and studio work.
- Song duration, key, BPM, tuning, status, tags and performance notes.
- Structure blocks for intros, verses, choruses, solos, codas, bars and instrument cues.
- Charts, lyrics, cue sheets, coda maps, images, MusicXML and performer guidance.
- Recordings, demos, rehearsal takes, backing tracks, live references and external media.
