HOW TO | Custom Arrangements in ChartBuilder

Information on how to achieve custom-arranged charts and RehearsalMix files in the ChartBuilder app.

Written by Trevor

The ChartBuilder app will change a chart and RehearsalMix files to match the song sections for any song in a setlist built in Playback.

Before getting started, you'll need the following:

  • Access to charts in ChartBuilder
    ​(ChartBuilder seat(s), and either Chart Pro, purchased Charts, or cloud songs with charts created)

  • Access to RehearsalMix (if needing custom arrangement RehearsalMix audio files)
    (RehearsalMix seat assigned)

How Custom Arrangements Work

Setlists
Custom arrangements for charts and RehearsalMix files can only be created, saved and contained within setlists that are created in the MultiTracks.com ecosystem via MultiTracks.com, ChartBuilder, or Playback.


​Setlist Saving vs Named Arrangement saving

Custom arrangements can be saved to the cloud within setlists and accessed in that setlist, or can also be saved to the cloud for future recall across any setlist using Named Arrangements. Named Arrangement saving requires Cloud Pro which can be purchased individually, or is included in the Live Bundle or MultiTracks One.

Guide Cues in ChartBuilder
The ChartBuilder RehearsalMix-player guide cues will be removed from any song in a particular setlist that has an edited arrangement different than the default. This is in place to prevent incorrect guide cues for songs in the ChartBuilder app. And it's a step we took in preparation to bring feature cohesion to Custom Arrangements across all apps and services.

How to setup Custom Arrangements in ChartBuilder

There are three main ways to achieve Custom Arranged charts and RehearsalMix files in ChartBuilder:

  1. Create a new setlist in ChartBuilder and use the "Edit Song Map" menu to either:

    1. Edit the song map of the song in that setlist

    2. Load a previously stored Named Arrangement*

  2. Load a setlist that already has Named Arrangements* selected for the song(s).

  3. Load a setlist that has been edited and saved with the desired arrangement of song sections from the Playback app.

For more information on the Edit Song Map menu and Arrangement menu in ChartBuilder see: 📖Editing the Song Map in ChartBuilder


​*Named Arrangements requires Cloud Pro (also included in Live Bundle or MultiTracks One).

Saving Named Arrangements in ChartBuilder

To saved a named arrangement in the ChartBuilder app, after adding or removing the desired song sections, simply tap the top-middle section listing the name of the arrangement ('default' by default, and then choose the option to Save to cloud, and then pick a name for the arrangement for that song.

Note: saving this arrangement saves this single song arrangement to the cloud for future recall in any other app or setlist. This action doesn't save anything in the specific setlist that's open.

Loading Named Arrangements in ChartBuilder

To load a named arrangement, enter Song Map edit mode using the three dots in the top-right, and then tap the arrangement name in the top middle. Then select one of the listed arrangement names to load in that arrangement.

Note: Certain arrangement data is only saved from Playback or ChartBuilder. See more information here: 📖Named Arrangements in the MultiTracks.com Ecosystem.
