What this sheet is for
Get through a set without the pause where someone asks what key it is in or whether the capo goes on, and keep a record of what was actually played.
Who it is for
Bands, duos, solo performers and function acts — anyone who plays a set from a running order rather than from memory.
How to use it
- Write the set in order, one song per line, with the key and who starts it.
- Put the between-song jobs in the tuning and capo column so they are read before the count, not after.
- List encores and spares separately, and mark which songs go if time runs short.
- After the show, note anything dropped or swapped so the next setlist starts from what really happened.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The running order for one show, in the form that gets taped to the floor: song, key, who counts it in, and the thing you always forget between songs — the capo, the tuning, the segue.
Write-on lines: Act · Venue · Date · Set · Stage time · Set length agreed · Curfew · Sheet for (player / role)
Set — in order — leave a line clear between blocks of songs; the encore goes in the last lines
Table, 13 rows: No. · Song · Key · Count / who starts · Tuning / capo / patch · Into next
Write-on lines: Encore / spares if they want more · Cut these if short on time · Dropped / swapped on the night
Questions
Why no set length or timings printed on it?
Because they are yours and the venue's. Write the agreed length and the curfew in the header and build the set to fit; the sheet does not know how long your songs are.
Can each player have a different copy?
That is what the 'sheet for' box is for. The drummer's copy wants the counts, the guitarist's wants the capo and patch changes. Print one per person and fill in the column that matters to them.
