Build the setlist anyway
You already track what you played, with durations and running order. That is the report — you just have not exported it yet.
SetlistForge · Performance-rights reporting · United States
OnStage wants the works you performed at your own shows. You already tracked them — with durations, in running order. SetlistForge formats that into a clean PDF to work from, so the claim takes minutes instead of an evening of retyping.
ASCAP
You already track what you played, with durations and running order. That is the report — you just have not exported it yet.
The export knows which fields this one asks for and prompts you only for those. Nothing generic, nothing you have to look up twice.
Anything the society needs that a setlist does not already hold. Songs missing required data are flagged before you export.
You get a clean PDF to work from when you fill in the society's own form or portal. SetlistForge never submits on your behalf.
ASCAP · United States
Everything else — titles, durations, running order, date, venue — comes from the setlist you already built.
The time you went on — everything else comes from the show details
What this is, and what it is not
This is a preparation aid. SetlistForge produces a formatted PDF of what you performed plus the fields this society asks for — it is not an official form, it is not a submission, and it does not talk to the society. You still file through their own portal or form. Every page of the export carries that in writing:
“Not an official ASCAP OnStage submission · Preparation helper · SetlistForge accepts no liability”
PDF: ASCAP OnStage Report — Preparation Helper
FAQ
No. It produces the performed-works list and the field OnStage asks for, formatted as a PDF. You submit through ASCAP yourself — and you should be sceptical of anything claiming otherwise.
That is between you and ASCAP — eligibility rules are theirs and they change. SetlistForge handles the part that is always the same: what you played, in what order, for how long.
Then use both modules. Seven societies read from the same setlist, so a tour that crosses territories does not mean rebuilding the list per society.
Other societies
SetlistForge ships report modules for seven. If you are registered with more than one, they all read from the same setlist.
