Find songs

1. Open Songs & Setlists. The search looks in the title, alternative title, original artist, author, composer, arranger, tags and the song number.
2. Filter by Genre, Tag, Key and Status – All but retired is the default.
3. Under More filters, narrow down by Tempo, Length and Last played (for example Not in the last 12 months to dust off old songs).
4. Change the order with the sort menu, and switch between list and cards at the right.

Add lyrics and chords

1. Open the song and go to the Chords tab.
2. Select Add chords (or Edit chords). A simple template is filled in.
3. Write the lyrics and put each chord in square brackets right before the syllable, for example [Am]lyrics. Mark parts with {start_of_chorus} … {end_of_chorus} or {start_of_verse} … {end_of_verse}.
4. Check the Preview and select Save.
5. While reading, use − / + to transpose by a semitone and the letter buttons to change the text size.

Result: The chords show on the song page and in stage mode. The transposition and text size are remembered on your device only – the saved song stays in its original key.

Add files and reference links

1. Open the song. In Files, select Choose files or drop the files onto the box. PDF, images and audio up to 25 MB each are accepted.
2. To rename a file, change its Type (Charts, Lyrics, Recordings, Other) or give it to one instrument, select the pencil next to it and use Part for instrument.
3. Select a file's name to view it, play it, Download it or Open in new tab.
4. In Links, select Edit and add recordings or videos (YouTube, Spotify or any web page). YouTube videos can be played right on the page with Play here.

Import songs from a CSV file

You need: A CSV file (for example saved from Excel or Google Sheets) whose first row contains the column names.

1. Open Songs & Setlists and select Import.
2. Under 1. Choose a file, select your CSV file.
3. Under 2. Map columns, check which Pulse field each of your columns goes to. Common names (also Czech ones like "Název") are recognised automatically. One column must be mapped to Title; set columns you don't need to Don't import.
4. Under 3. Preview, check every row. Rows marked as errors (for example a duration not written as m:ss) are not imported – fix them in the file and choose it again.
5. If some rows match songs you already have (same song number or title), choose Skip them or Update the existing songs.
6. Select Import … songs.

Result: The new songs are in the library. When updating, only the columns that are in your file are changed – other details of the song stay as they were.

Export the song list

1. Open Songs & Setlists.
2. Select the ⋯ (More) button and choose Export CSV.

Result: A CSV file with all songs, including retired ones, is downloaded. It opens in Excel and uses the same columns as the import (also status, alternative title, author, original artist, language and ISRC), so you can edit it and import it back.

Retire or delete a song

1. Open the song.
2. Select Retire to take it out of the repertoire: it is hidden from the song list and from the song library in the setlist editor, but stays in existing setlists. Bring back makes it Ready again. You can also change the Status when you edit the song.
3. To see retired songs in the list, choose All incl. retired (or Retired) in the status filter.
4. Select Delete only if the song should disappear completely – it is also removed from all setlists and its files are deleted.

Manage genres and tags

You need: Edit songs to add, rename or delete them; everyone who sees songs sees the lists.

1. Open Songs & Setlists and the Genres or Tags tab.
2. Genres are musical styles (Rock, Folk, Jazz…); Tags say how a song or setlist is used (Opener, Wedding, Needs Rehearsal…). Tags are shown in groups such as Performance, Preparation and Event.
3. Type a name and select Add – for a tag you can also pick its Group.
4. Each one shows how many songs and setlists use it. Use the pencil to rename it everywhere at once, or the bin to delete it.

Result: Genres and tags can be picked on songs and setlists, and both lists can be filtered by them. Every band starts with a ready-made list, shown to each member in their own language. Rename or delete anything you don't need – a renamed one shows your name to everyone.
