How to Use the Setlist Builder
Add songs, fill in key and BPM if you have them, drag everything into order. Make separate setlists for different parts of the night: first set, second set, encore. When you are done, copy it as text or print it. Everything saves automatically in your browser so the setlists are there next time you open the page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I build a setlist for a gig?
Be realistic about what you can perform well. Write those down. Group them loosely by energy level. Open with something mid-energy to warm up. Do not blow your best song in the first slot. Build momentum and close with something the crowd will remember. The key and BPM fields help you spot awkward transitions before they happen on stage.
How many songs do I need for a gig?
A set runs 45-60 minutes. At 3-4 minutes per song that works out to 12-15 songs per set. Three hours of music with breaks means 40-50 songs total. Have a few extras ready. Crowds are unpredictable and sometimes you need to swap a ballad for something with more energy on the spot.
How should I organize the song order in my setlist?
Keys, tempo, and energy. Avoid jumping from Eb to A because that transition feels rough. Alternate fast and slow songs so the audience stays with you. If you use alternate tunings or a capo, group those songs together. It saves you from fumbling with your setup between every other tune, which is something the audience definitely notices.
