Restricting setlists to specific songs on BookLive ensures that you and your clients only select music that works for the particular performance. This feature is especially useful when you have different group configurations, such as duos, quartets, or larger ensembles, and want to prevent the selection of songs that aren’t suitable for the chosen configuration.
Benefits:
• Ensures song selections are appropriate for the specific performance.
• Prevents clients from choosing songs that don’t match the booked configuration.
• Streamlines the setlist creation process by filtering out irrelevant songs.
