3. Setlist Sidebar

The left sidebar provides full setlist and song management, mirroring the same workflow as ESTË Live's engineer sidebar (see Songs & Setlists in the Live manual).

Setlist selector — At the top of the sidebar, a dropdown button shows the current setlist name. Click it to open the setlist management dropdown:

  • Switch setlist — Click any setlist name to load it. The active setlist has a mint checkmark. Each entry shows the song count badge.
  • New setlist — Click "+ New setlist" to create a new empty setlist (inline name input with confirmation)
  • Duplicate current — Creates a copy of the current setlist with a new name
  • Rename current — Inline renaming of the active setlist
  • Delete — Trash icon on each setlist entry (disabled for the active setlist). Confirmation dialog warns that songs inside are not affected.

Create song form — Below the setlist selector, a text input ("New track...") with a green + button. Type a song name and press Enter or click + to create a new song.

Tracked song list — Numbered list of songs in the current setlist, ordered by setlist position. Each song row shows:

  • Position number (1, 2, 3, ...)
  • Song name (accent-colored and bold when active)
  • Metadata line: file count, MIDI count, last modified date
  • Orange dot indicator when the song has unsaved changes
  • Expand/collapse chevron

Click a song row to expand its action bar. Primary actions are always visible; secondary actions are in an overflow menu (⋯):

Primary buttons:

Button Icon Color on hover Action
Load Play triangle Green Load song into the editor
Save Floppy disk Orange Save current editor state (enabled only for active song with unsaved changes)
Move up Up chevron Default Move song up in setlist order
Move down Down chevron Default Move song down in setlist order
More (⋯) Dots Default Open overflow menu

Overflow menu (⋯):

Item Action
Rename Inline rename with confirm/cancel
Duplicate Create a copy with "(copy)" suffix
Remove from setlist Remove from setlist (does not delete files)

The active song row auto-expands when loaded and is highlighted with a mint left border.

Unused Songs — Collapsible accordion section at the bottom of the sidebar. Shows songs that exist on disk but are not part of the current setlist, with a count badge. Each unused song has three action buttons:

Button Action
+ (Add) Add the song to the current setlist
Play (Load) Load the song into the editor
Trash (Delete) Delete the song (with confirmation and optional file deletion)
