Managing your repertoire as a singer: why a setlist app makes your life easier

You know the feeling: a folder full of printed lyrics. A notes app with 200 separate entries. Maybe a spreadsheet with your repertoire. It works, until it doesn’t. You’re looking for a song during soundcheck and scroll for five minutes. Or you forget which songs you performed at that wedding last month.

As a solo singer, you need just as much structure as a band: maybe more, because you’re everything in one person.

The problem with scattered notes

Most singers start with what they know: the Notes app, Google Docs, or a physical folder. It feels flexible, until you realise:

• Your songs aren’t searchable by key or artist
• You have no overview of which setlist you played where
• You rebuild a list from scratch for every gig
• You can’t easily filter by genre or mood

What a setlist app changes

StageRally is built for the stage: even when you’re performing solo. Here’s what it gives you:

All your songs in one place

Title, artist, key, BPM, lyrics. Everything together, everything searchable. Type “Adele” and you instantly see all your Adele songs with the correct keys.

Setlists per gig type

Drag your songs into the right order. Create sections: “Dinner music”, “Party”, “Requests”. Copy a setlist for a similar gig and adjust what you need.

Gig planning (date, venue, set history) is part of Club and Mainstage. On Soundcheck you organize songs and setlists today.

On every device

iPad on the stand by your microphone. iPhone as backup on your amp. Laptop at home to update your repertoire. Sign in on each device: your songs and setlists are there (and work offline once loaded).

Offline

Offline mid-show? Your live set keeps running. Sync picks up again when you are back online. The full set is stored on the device.

And when you join a band?

This is where StageRally stands out. Many singers start solo and eventually begin playing with accompanists or a full band. With most tools that means starting over in a new app.

Not with StageRally. Your repertoire is already in the app. With Club or Mainstage, invite band members and add live sync: no migration to another tool.

Soundcheck is free

You can start today. Soundcheck gives you everything you need as a solo musician. No trial period, no credit card. Just start.
