Keep a setlist of tempos

A setlist in BPM Forge is a list of songs with their tempos — not charts or lyrics (that is SetlistForge's job). It exists so the top of every song starts at the right speed, every night, on whoever's phone is in the room.

Add songs

1. On the Tapper tab, open the Setlist panel (the ▾ toggle).
2. Type a Song name, the BPM, pick the time signature pill and add an optional Note (up to 80 characters — "half-time chorus", "count-in 2 bars").
3. Press + Add. The song appears in the list.

If you have just tapped a tempo, it is already in the BPM field.

Start a song

Tap a song row. Its tempo and time signature load into the metronome and, if Count-in is set to 1, 2 or 4 bars, the metronome counts you in for that many bars and then keeps clicking. With Count-in Off the tempo loads without starting.

Edit or remove a song

Each row has a ✎ pencil. Press it, change the name, BPM, time signature or note, and Save — or Cancel (Esc) to leave it as it was. ↑ and ↓ move a song up or down the list; × removes it. The row buttons disappear while the list is locked.

Several setlists

• ＋ creates a new, named setlist; the dropdown switches between them.
• 🗑 deletes the current setlist.
• 🔓 / 🔒 locks the list for the show: no adding, editing or deleting until you unlock it (you are asked to confirm the unlock).

Export and import

Export JSON downloads the current setlist as a file — a backup, or something to send to the drummer. Import JSON loads one back in. Imported songs are validated: bad tempos and fields are cleaned up rather than breaking the list.

Where it is stored

Setlists are saved in the browser as you go and, when you are signed in, with your account — build the list at home, open it on the tablet at the gig. Sync is per account, not per device; see Account sync.
