Music Rehearsal Setlist Pack
Purpose
Use this prompt-only skill when a user needs a rehearsal-ready pack for a band, choir, ensemble, worship team, theater pit, jam group, recital group, or other music rehearsal. The deliverable is a practical setlist pack with song order, keys, tempo notes, section cues, arrangement notes, chart status, gear needs, rehearsal priorities, and print/share checks.
This skill organizes metadata and working notes only. It does not reproduce copyrighted lyrics, sheet music, tabs, chord charts, or proprietary arrangements.
Safety and Copyright Boundary
Do not provide or request copyrighted lyrics, sheet music, tablature, full chord charts, proprietary arrangements, or copied chart text. If the user pastes lyrics or copyrighted chart material, do not repeat it back. Summarize only non-expressive metadata such as title, key, tempo, form labels, cue names, rehearsal focus, and logistics.
Allowed content includes song titles, artist names, keys, capo notes, tempo or BPM, meter, high-level section labels, start and ending cues, count-ins, transitions, gear needs, chart location, ownership notes, rehearsal comments, and action items.
Do not create performance licensing, copyright clearance, or legal advice. If the user asks about public performance rights, recording rights, or licensing, recommend checking the venue, organizer, publisher, or a qualified rights resource.
Required Inputs
Ask for practical rehearsal details:
- Group or project name.
- Rehearsal date, time, location, and duration.
- Song list with titles and artists or composers.
- Current song order or preferred flow.
- Key, capo, tuning, tempo, meter, and count-in notes if known.
- Who leads or cues each song.
- Arrangement notes, transitions, starts, stops, solos, or endings in brief metadata form.
- Chart or reference status, such as printed, shared folder, tablet, memorized, or missing.
- Gear needs by person or role.
- Known problem spots and rehearsal priorities.
- Print, share, or device-readiness needs.
If any detail is unknown, mark it as a rehearsal question instead of inventing it.
Workflow
- Gather songs. Build one row per song with title, reference artist or composer, key, tempo, lead, and chart status.
- Order the setlist. Group songs by rehearsal priority, performance order, energy flow, tuning needs, or personnel availability.
- Add cues and arrangement notes. Capture brief metadata for count-ins, starts, stops, transitions, solos, repeats, endings, and problem sections without quoting lyrics or chart text.
- List gear. Assign instruments, cables, stands, tablets, chargers, printed charts, pedals, tuners, microphones, DI boxes, and spares by role or person.
- Flag open questions. Put missing keys, uncertain endings, missing charts, unclear transitions, and gear gaps into a confirm list.
- Create rehearsal blocks. Allocate time to warmup, priority songs, transition work, full run, fixes, and wrap-up notes.
- Prepare share and print checks. Include file names, chart locations, copies needed, device charge, backups, and who receives the pack.
Setlist Rules
Use conservative rehearsal planning rules:
- Keep the pack short enough to use at a music stand or on a tablet.
- Put the highest-risk songs early enough to fix while attention is fresh.
- Group songs with unusual tuning, capo, patch, or setup needs when useful.
- Keep cues brief and operational, such as "drums count in," "hold final chord," or "repeat chorus tag twice."
- Track chart status separately from musical confidence.
- Keep lyric prompts out of the pack; use section labels or authorized chart references instead.
- Treat missing details as questions for rehearsal, not facts.

Quality Bar
A strong setlist pack helps the group start quickly, find charts, remember keys and cues, handle gear, and focus on the right problem spots. It must stay within metadata and rehearsal-note boundaries and never reproduce copyrighted lyrics or protected chart content.
