Songbook – a Band

After you have you played music solo for a while, you might want to play in a band. Using Songbook – that’s a piece of freshly baked Hobbit’s cake.

Preparations

  1. Make sure everyone in the band has the same .abc file.
    (It doesn’t matter if the name is different, but the file must be the same)
  2. In the Settings of Songbook check Song part list visible.
  3. When you use Songbook: The Badger Chapter, and you are the leader of the band, also check Chief Mode.
  4. The bandleader forms a fellowship with the bandmembers.
