A Singer is someone who goes to one or more Venues. They can keep a list of songs they want to sing Tonight, and also maintain a list of Favorite songs. Automatically kept for them is a list of songs they have sung in their History.
To create a new Singer and immediately add song(s) for them, search out their first song, right-click it, Add to Singer -> New Singer. Done! Now this Singer is in Target mode (see below), ready for assigning additional songs if you so desire.
- Shortcut: you can "right click" on newer MacBook trackpads by tapping 2 fingers at the same time on the PAD. See your System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad -> "secondary click")
- Shortcut: you can do a Find In Library without the mouse: Command-Shift-F
To create a new singer without adding songs right away, choose New Singer from the File menu, or press the New Singer button (the plus sign with the little "user" icon next to it, at the bottom left).
Click the disclosure triangle next to the singer to reveal their 3 playlists, "Tonight", "Favorites" and "History". You can browse any playlist to find songs you want, and drag the songs you want into Tonight or Favorites, or just drag it onto the Singer icon itself (that way, you don't really need to click the disclosure triangle to reveal the playlists). Songs dropped onto the Singer will go into their Tonight list.
Alternately, you can double click the Singer, which sets that singer as the "Target". Now, when browsing any playlist (including the Library) for songs, when you find a song you want, just double click it and it will be added to that singer's Tonight list.
If you set the pitch, tempo or rating for any song under a singer, it will be permanently remembered for that singer.
If there is a singer that goes to more than one venue, you can use finder aliases to have them show up at each venue. For more info on that, see Venues.
