Add cues and timing to a song
Mark where sections begin, add performance notes, and show a cue to everyone or only the people who need it.
Open the song in Chords & Lyrics
Choose Songs, open the song, and remain in Chords & Lyrics. Timestamps and instructions are part of the chart-editing workspace.
Add a timestamp to a section
Move over a section heading and choose its clock, or open the section handle menu and choose Add Timestamp. Enter the point where that section begins in minutes and seconds, then choose Ok.

Add a cue for a whole section
Choose Add instruction beside a section heading and type a note such as “Drop to half volume” or “Harmony enters here.” The instruction sits below the section name.
Attach a cue to one particular line
Move over the song line, choose its handle, then choose Add Instructions. Enter the cue and click elsewhere to finish editing it.

Choose who should see the instruction
An instruction starts as Everyone. On Duo and Band plans, choose that badge, select one or more band members, then choose Apply.

Wait for Saved and check the song
Wait for the save status to say Saved, then choose Play. Check that each instruction appears at the right place and that the timestamps follow the recording in order.
Frequently asked questions
Timestamps guide song progress, while instructions carry the practical notes performers need at particular moments.
