Song Workflow
See how a candidate becomes part of the committed Repertoire and can graduate to its Gig-ready subset.
One pool, one explicit decision
Covers and pitched originals wait together in Intake. Nothing becomes part of the artist's Repertoire until a leader explicitly promotes it.
Intake
Keep every candidate in one place.
Covers and pitched originals share one candidate pool until the artist deliberately promotes or archives them.
A private Composition stays in its personal workspace. Pitching it creates an artist-owned original candidate beside covers in the same Intake pool; origin is a filter, not a separate lane.




Optional voting
Let the band weigh in when a decision benefits from it.
Run a vote over Intake candidates, reveal the result, and explicitly commit the songs the artist wants to learn.
Issue #19 is available today: the artist can run an optional vote, reveal the result, and still make an explicit promotion decision.




Direct promotion
Leaders do not need a vote for every song.
A leader can move a suitable Intake song directly into Learning with one explicit promotion.
Promotion is a leader action
A vote can inform the choice, but it never moves a song by itself. Direct promotion and vote-led promotion use the same explicit decision.
The song lifecycle
Songs move from consideration to performance through explicit stages.
An explicit promotion commits a song to Repertoire in To Do. It moves through In Progress to the Gig-ready subset, while Archive is a reversible exit.
1
Intake
A candidate is being considered, not yet learned.
2
Repertoire · To Do
Promotion commits the song; members prepare their parts.
3
Repertoire · In Progress
The band actively rehearses the song inside the Focus limit.
4
Repertoire · Gig-ready
An explicit graduation marks the performable subset.
Learning board
Separate what members should prepare from what the band is actively rehearsing.
To Do holds uncapped preparation work. In Progress stays focused on the songs currently receiving band time.
Learning is the To Do and In Progress work inside Repertoire. To Do is uncapped; only In Progress is WIP-capped so current rehearsal work stays focused.




Repertoire
See every song the artist has committed to learning and keeping.
Repertoire includes To Do, In Progress, and Gig-ready. Gig-ready is the performable subset, not a synonym for the whole Repertoire.
Repertoire is wider than Gig-ready
The committed Repertoire includes To Do, In Progress, and Gig-ready. Gig-ready is the part the artist can perform now and the only subset intended for a public audience.




Reversible Archive
Drop a song without erasing its history.
Archive remembers whether a song left Intake, Learning, or Repertoire so it can be revived deliberately.
Archive remembers where the song came from
Archiving preserves whether the artist song left Intake, Learning, or Gig-ready so revival can return it deliberately. Archiving a pitched original never archives its source Composition.




Band leader
Leaders curate Intake, promote songs, control the move into In Progress, explicitly graduate songs to Gig-ready, and archive or revive artist songs.
Open the artist StudioBand member
Members can add context, take part in an optional vote, prepare their own part, and help the band assess progress. Promotion and graduation remain leader actions.
