Songs

The Songs page manages your worship song library. Keep all your song details, lyrics, and arrangements in one place so your worship team can easily prepare for upcoming services and maintain a consistent repertoire.

Before You Begin

  • Navigate to the Serving section in B1 Admin to access the Songs page
  • Optionally, have your service plans set up so you can link songs directly into the service order

Browsing Your Song Library​

When you open the Songs page, your songs are displayed as cards. Each card shows the song's thumbnail image, title, artist, and duration. Scroll through the library or use search to find what you need.

Searching for Songs​

  1. Click the Search button on the Songs page.
  2. Type a song title or artist name.
  3. The results will filter as you type, showing matching songs from your library.

Adding a Song​

  1. Click Add Song on the Songs page.
  2. Search the external song database by title or artist.
  3. Select the song you want to add.
  4. The song will be added to your library with its basic details pre-filled.
tip

After adding a song, click on it to review and update its details, add arrangements, or attach external links like YouTube videos or chord charts.

Viewing and Editing a Song​

Click on any song card to open its detail page. From here you can:

  • Edit song details -- Update the title, artist, duration, and other metadata.
  • Manage arrangements -- Each song can have multiple arrangements (for example, different keys or versions). Add, edit, or remove arrangements as needed.
  • Add lyrics -- Enter or update the lyrics for each arrangement.
  • Set the key -- Specify the musical key for each arrangement so your team knows how to prepare.
  • Add external links -- Attach links to resources like YouTube videos, chord charts, or sheet music hosted elsewhere.

Arrangements​

An arrangement represents a distinct version of a song — for example, a faster modern version versus a slower acoustic take, or the same song in a different key for a different team. Each arrangement of the same song shares the song title and artist but has its own independent settings:

  • Key — the musical key the arrangement is performed in
  • BPM — tempo in beats per minute
  • Length — duration in seconds
  • Meter — time signature (e.g., 4/4, 3/4, 6/8)
  • Sequence — the chord/section structure (e.g., Intro → Verse → Chorus → Bridge)
  • Lyrics — for display or projection
  • External links — chord charts, YouTube recordings, sheet music, or other resources

When you add a song to a Service Order, you can choose which arrangement to use for that specific service, so your team always rehearses and plays the right version.

info

Songs from your library can be added directly to a Service Order within a plan, linking the song details and the chosen arrangement to that specific service.
