Arrangements
An arrangement is a named version of a song. It reuses the same sections as the original but can change their order, repeat them, and override the key, mode, or tempo — without touching the source song.
Why use arrangements?
The same song often needs to be performed differently depending on the context. A few common use cases:
The song is normally in G but your singer needs it in Eb — create an "Eb" arrangement with a key override.
Sunday's service has a longer response time — create a "Sunday" arrangement that repeats the chorus section twice.
The acoustic set skips the bridge — create an "Acoustic" arrangement that omits it entirely.
Creating an arrangement
From a song's detail page, navigate to the Arrangements tab and click New Arrangement.
Name (required)
A label for this version — e.g. "Sunday Service", "Full Band", "Acoustic", "Key of C".
Key override
Transposes all chords for this arrangement. Leave blank to use the song's original key.
Mode override
Major or minor. Defaults to the song's original mode.
Tempo override
Sets a different BPM for this arrangement. Defaults to the song's original tempo.
Editing the arrangement layout
After creating the arrangement, open it to edit its section layout. The editor shows two panels:
Left panel — arrangement order
The sections included in this arrangement, in order. Drag to reorder. Each section shows its repeat count badge (e.g. ×2) if it repeats more than once.
Right panel — song section pool
All sections from the original song. Drag a section into the left panel to add it. A section can appear multiple times — drag it in again to add another instance.
Repeat counts
Each section in an arrangement can have a repeat count — for example, setting the chorus to ×2 means it will render twice in sequence. This is useful for call-and-response or extended worship moments without duplicating section content.
Notes
Each section entry in an arrangement can have two optional notes:
Music director note
Instructions for the music director — e.g. "cue strings here" or "drop to half-time".
User note
A general note visible to all participants in a live session.
