Order of ticked off songs from the songlist view

We've just had a gig where we didn't prepare the setlist as a whole sequence, we just alphabetically took a list of songs with us and played what we felt like.

So during the gig we just ticked off the songs we've played to not repeat any. Is there a way to determine/view the order I've ticked off the songs retrospectively? So I could now adjust the setlist afterwards to reflect the actual order we've played the songs in?

Edit: Or maybe activate a function for those occasions to move ticked off songs to the bottom of the list. That way it'll get sorted automatically.

No, you can see which songs you played but the app doesn't track what order you played them in.

Ok, would that maybe be something to consider as a new function like in the edited part?

arlo

This is on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you.

ChrisMikolaj

Thanks a lot :)
Excuse my ignorance but is your wishlist somewhere publicly visible so I could add votes to push other ideas as well?

arlo

No, the wish list is not public. It's enormous and it would take too much work to write up every item in a way that would be meaningful to users.

Hi Arlo

I just played another gig today. And we're currently preparing a bunch of songs and decide which ones to play on the go.

For that I now just mainly use the quick search during the performance to look up a song and add it from there to the list on the go. I forgot about that function and it's really nice, as this also kind of replaces the function I requested above to keep track of the set, because I'm kind of creating the set on the go.

However, maybe the search could be improved slightly: Currently it's just checking for the song name in all of the (active I assume?) songs. Would it be possible to add a filter for setlists and smartlists?

That way I could create a dedicated "pool" of songs in a setlist or smart list and the search function would only look into these songs.

Also I would appreciate a toggle or some kind like that. When I'm searching for a song, that's already included in that set and we would play it again at some point, it shouldn't point at the existing song but actually add it a second time. Obviously sometimes it's better to just show the search result, but with that toggle it could be possible to easily add it.


I'm also aware that in theory editing the setlist and adding a song already comes with the filter of setlists and smart lists, but those are quite some more clicks and to me it feels like this takes longer loading times, etc. The quick search is much quicker.

Do you think that would be possible somehow? :)



P.S.: Sorry for spamming so many requests and questions lately, but luckily I got to play some more gigs in different setups and projects, which is why my usage of BandHelper is extending as well :)
