Adding files to songs

You can add multiple files to a song in Band Pencil to easily reference them in the setlist live view, or as an ease way to share song files with your members. Please be aware, as soon as you share the setlist with your members (or anyone external) they will be able to re-share the setlist link and anyone will be able to download the files.

Adding new files

To add a new song file:

1. Select the song you want to add a file to.
2. Click the upload file button.
3. You then have the option to upload one song, or upload multiple songs.

Please make sure the files are in the list of accepted file types and the file size is within the limit - learn more about this here.
