Arrangements are like different versions of a song, each with its own files. When you add a song to a plan, you choose one of its arrangements, and just the files for that arrangement and its chosen key show in the plan. Common uses for arrangements include:
-
Different recorded versions of a song.
-
A separate condensed version of a song you play as a closing.
-
A version for a different ministry that formats their charts differently. Even if it’s technically the same version, making a separate arrangement allows you to keep files separate.
After adding a song, you can add another arrangement or edit the original arrangement.
You can add a new arrangement to a song from the Songs page or from a plan.
To add a new key from the Songs page, go to the song, and select Add in the left panel.
To add a new arrangement from a plan, select on the song in the plan to edit it, and from the arrangement dropdown, select Add arrangement.
Choose one of the popular recordings on the list, or select Create a new arrangement and type in the arrangement name.
