Choir Genius offers a music library storage system for you to keep track of your sheet music, learning tracks, choreography plans and any other relevant links.

Songs are organized by their title, 'tags' for easy categorization, and can also be identified by their composter/arranger/lyricist if you have multiple arrangements of the same piece, as well as a "unique ID" code for every song.

To view all of the music within your site, navigate to:
Music > Manage music

Note: Members access their assigned music through the blue menu item called "Music" and only see songs that are assigned visibility to their role/subgroup/label. More information for members is as available here.

There are three tabs on this page: Music, Classification, and Stock.

Music

The music tab allows you to view music by the Unique ID, Title, Tags, assignments and "Last Performed" timing. It also have icons to indicate the various files and links available for a particular song.

You can sort music by the unique ID Title or last performed time by clicking on the heading.

You cannot sort by Tags because it is a "multi-term" field, but you can use the search bar to look for a particular tag. You can also use the search bar to look for a particular title or assignment role - just type the word you're looking for.

To view the song, click on the title.
