I’m drumming in a live theatre performance next April and have just got the song list (67 songs...!). I’d really like to get a click track set up for the BPM so I can select the tempo before starting each one. Will be playing an electric kit (Yamaha DTXplorer IV) so have click built in, but I think it’s only programmable individually.

Bearing in mind I will only have a few seconds between each one, what’s the best solution for this? Is there an app to pre-load a number of them so I can just cycle through with one button?

I can do 20-ish at a time due to interlude and backing tracks meaning I get a break occasionally, if that helps!

look at Forscore on the ipad,

You can order the scores in the order of your set... doesnt have to be notation could just a PDF with lyrics on.

You can also annotate during rehearsals and you can add a different Metronome to each PDF

Good man, thank you thumbup

I'm not necessarily bothered about the scores being visible as I tend to play from memory and to the MD, but if I can get them and combine them with a click, it's certainly an upgrade for me smile
