Set breaks

A set break is a row in your setlist that's not a song — it's a planned pause. Most gigs have one or two: a 20-minute break in the middle of a four-hour wedding, a 10-minute intermission between sets at the brewery, a quick instrument-swap between two songs.

Add one

In the setlist builder, hit Add break in the header. A break row drops in at the current cursor position; drag it to wherever it belongs.

Each break has:

• Label — defaults to "Set break." Edit to something specific ("Dinner break," "Mid-set swap to acoustic," "Cake cutting").
• Duration — in seconds. The builder shows the duration in mm:ss format.

What the stage view does with breaks

When the current item is a break, the stage view shows a centered card with:

• A coffee-cup icon.
• The break label.
• The duration, formatted as mm:ss.

The autoscroll is off during a break (nothing to scroll). The metronome is off. The wake-lock stays on so the device doesn't sleep mid-break.

Navigation through breaks

Breaks are full setlist items — swiping next/previous moves through them just like songs. So at the end of set one, the band sees the break card. Swipe right (or hit next), you're at the first song of set two.

When to use a break vs. just a label

Breaks count toward the setlist's running total and show up as their own card on stage. If you just want a label between songs (like "Set 2 starts here" without an actual pause), put the note in the next song's notes field instead — it'll show under the title in the now/next strip.

Tip: Set durations realistically. A "10-minute break" that's actually 20 minutes is fine in practice but throws off the autoscroll budget for the second set if you've set a target duration on the setlist.
