Setlist templates

A template is a setlist marked as a reusable pattern. You play roughly the same set every wedding cocktail hour — make it a template once, clone it for each new gig, swap out a song or two.

Save a setlist as a template

In the setlist builder, open Edit details (the title/duration/template controls). Flip Save as template on. Save.

The setlist now shows the Template badge in the grid. It still has all its songs, all its overrides, all its breaks — it's just flagged.

Find your templates

On the setlists grid, the Templates filter chip shows only your templates. The count next to the chip is your template count.

Clone a template

Cloning happens from the New setlist dialog, not from the template itself.

Open the setlists grid.
Hit New setlist.
In the dialog, the Start from dropdown lists every template you've saved.
Pick one, give the new setlist a name, hit Create.

The new setlist has every song in the same order, the same per-row overrides (key, notes), and the same set breaks — and it's a regular setlist, not a template. Edit it freely for the specific gig.

When templates earn their keep

Bands that play one type of gig repeatedly (weddings, weekly residency, corporate events) get the most value. A wedding band that's done 50 weddings can have:

Cocktail hour template — instrumental, mellow, 45-60 min
Dinner template — slower vocal numbers, 45-60 min
Reception template — high-energy crowd-pleasers, ~90 min
Late-night template — closer-friendly, ~30 min

Every new wedding becomes "clone all four, swap a couple songs per the couple's requests" instead of "build from scratch."

Tip: Templates are not locked. You can edit the template directly any time — those edits don't propagate to setlists already cloned from it. So a template is a starting point, not a master record.
