Add or edit an arrangement
Arrangements are like different versions of a song, each with its own files. When you add a song to a plan, you select one of its arrangements, and the files for that arrangement and its corresponding key appear in the plan. Common uses for arrangements include:
Different recorded versions of a song.
A separate condensed version of a song you play as a closing.
A version for a different ministry that formats its charts differently. Even if it’s technically the same version, creating a separate arrangement allows you to keep files organized and separated.
After adding a song, you can add another arrangement or edit the original arrangement.
