What are tags?

Tags are your own categories you can attach to any song in your repertoire - independent of its title or artist. They help you quickly find a specific group of songs, for example by tempo, the occasion you play a song for, or the instrumental lineup it needs.

Example tags: fast, slow, church, wedding, with brass, acoustic. Name a tag however best fits how your band works - Lyricco does not impose a fixed list of categories.

Adding a tag to a song

In the add/edit song form (below the Title/Artist/Key fields) you will find a "Tags" field. Start typing a name and Lyricco will suggest matching, existing tags from your band. If the tag does not exist yet, an "Add new tag" option appears at the top of the list - click it to create and assign it right away. You can assign any number of tags to a single song.

Details on adding songs: Adding songs.

Managing tags

In the Repertoire tab click "Tags" (right after "Setlists") to see a list of all your band's tags along with the number of songs assigned to each. From there you can rename a tag or delete it - deleting a tag does not delete any songs, it only removes that label from them.

Clicking a tag name opens its management page - you will see your entire repertoire with checkboxes. Checking or unchecking a song instantly assigns it to that tag or removes it. You can also filter the list with the search box to quickly find a song in a large repertoire.

Tags in the stage view

When you type a phrase into the stage view search box, Lyricco searches not only titles and artist names but also song tags. In the repertoire menu you will also find a separate "Tags" button (next to "Setlists") - it shows a list of every tag used in your repertoire, and tapping one instantly filters the repertoire to songs with that tag, sorted alphabetically.

Example use case: tag songs played only in church with "church", and high-energy songs for the late part of a wedding with "fast". While playing, just tap the matching tag in the menu to instantly see that slice of your repertoire - no need to scroll the full list.
