Single-song stage view

Launch a private stage session against one song, with the rest of your library a drawer-tap away.

Single-song stage view

Sometimes you don't have a setlist. You're learning a new song. Practicing alone. Running through one tune for a cocktail-hour solo gig.

Single-song mode opens the stage view against one specific song, with your whole library as the swipe-able backing list.

Launch one

Two entry points:

  • From the songs list — each row has a play icon. Tap it; you're on stage with that song.
  • From a song's detail page — the Open on stage button at the top.

The setlist drawer (swipe from the left edge) shows your whole library with a search box. You can jump to any song, mid-session, without leaving the stage view.

What's different from setlist mode

  • No GIG_SYNC — single-song sessions are private. Nothing broadcasts, nothing sees your position. Even if a bandmate has a setlist open with the same song, you're not connected to them.
  • Drawer shows the library, not a setlist — with a search input at the top. The library is your full song collection ordered however the library list is sorted.
  • End-of-list is end-of-list — swiping right past the last song fires a "End of library" toast instead of wrapping. There's no setlist boundary because there's no setlist.

What's the same

  • Everything else. The chord chart, autoscroll, line follow, the metronome strip, the wake lock, gestures, the Settings sheet — identical.

Per-song preferences still apply

  • The song's BPM auto-applies to the metronome.
  • The song's lyrics_timing (LRCLib) drives Follow mode.
  • The song's duration paces autoscroll (with the 3:30 fallback if it's missing).

When to use it

  • Solo practice — woodshedding a new song at a comfortable tempo.
  • One-off acoustic — single cocktail-hour player, no setlist needed.
  • Auditioning a song — opening the chart on stage to see how it actually reads at performance scale before committing it to a setlist.

Tip: If you're a band leader and want to "peek" at a song without dragging the band along, single-song mode is the way. Open the song from the songs list, audition it. The full setlist's stage session stays untouched.
