Setlist is a utility for organizing a bands rehearsal recordings, charts, and other files. It's primary philosophy is one of inferred organization - you put things up in the most natural way for you, and Setlist presents your content in an accessible, linked, utilitarian format.
Note: This is NOT an example of my finest coding, rather a set of utilitarian hacks that do in fact help my band, but are really selfishly designed for me to get in-and-out as quickly as possible. That said - read on !
Lets suppose that after each rehearsal, you put WAV or MP3 files into a folder such as 2011_02_10.
2011_02_10/
- 01_SongOne_take1.mp3
- SongOne_take2.mp3
- SongOne_best.mp3
- SongTwo.mp3
- SongThree_drums_vocals.mp3
2011_01_20/
- song_one.mp3
- etc..
and charts have their own folder
charts/
- songOne.pdf
- song_two.pdf
Setlist will match up the various song titles, and collect the resources that together comprise a given song, a given rehearsal, etc..
Setlist:
Song One (chart) (recordings)
Song Two
Song Three
Rehearsals:
February 10
January 20
(It's desired to eventually allow notes to be taken on a given song, rehearsal, etc..)
The idea is that Setlist is so lightweight, and its database-less design allows for super-easy deployment, that it will be an improvement over even your Operating System's directory browser, or command-line. Of course, that's not to say it's for sissies - rockstars only, please !
