Setlark

A small phrase can change the shape of an evening. Setlark gives you somewhere to develop that phrase, place it beside another idea, and remember what happened when you tried the sequence. Open the idea folio and follow a making score. Lantern Relay explores the hand-over between musical voices; Paper Ferry carries a melody through changing accompaniment; Quiet Switchboard makes each entrance a deliberate choice. Read the phases, try a direction and keep a thought beside the moment that prompted it. Opening, rise, turn, space, texture, return and closing ideas offer different ways into your own material. Bring an idea to the set desk or write a cue from scratch. Give each cue a title, planned duration, intended energy, transition and playing notes. Move it up or down the sequence and watch the energy shape change with the actual order. Set a target length for the evening and see the space remaining or the amount over your plan. Undo brings back a previous arrangement when an experiment does not fit. Keep a named edition before trying another way. Your saved snapshot stays intact while you open a working copy or make a separate variation. Choose two editions to compare their cue order, planned duration and intended energy. The comparison shows the choices you made, leaving the creative judgment to you. When it is time to try the set, open the rehearsal lectern. Advance through the cue cards at your own pace, start and pause the clock for a passage, and write an observation where it belongs. The clock pauses when you leave the app or the rehearsal screen. Finish a pass to keep its measured times and cue-specific notes in the rehearsal journal; untimed cues remain clearly marked. Bookmarks help you return to an idea. Larger reading text and reduced motion let you make the folio comfortable. When you want a readable copy of the sequence, export a text setlist to a destination you choose. Setlark is a companion for planning and reflecting on your own music-making. Its rehearsal cards guide your sequence without playing or recording audio. Come back with an observation, revise one relationship and give the next pass a different shape.
