The Sub Needs Charts NOW: Onboarding a Guest Musician
· One min read
Your keyboardist has the flu. You hire a sub for tonight's gig. They're a pro, but they don't know your arrangements. You have 40 songs. You don't have a "book" because you're all digital. Do you spend 3 hours screenshotting your iPad and emailing 40 JPEGs?
The Old Way: Printing out a binder (waste of paper/time). Or sharing a Dropbox folder where the file names are "Song1_final_final.pdf" and hoping they figure it out.
The Bandfix Way: Band Roles (Viewer) and Share Setlist.
- Invite the sub to your band as a Viewer (so they can't accidentally delete anything).
- They download the app and log in.
- They instantly see the setlist and all the charts, exactly as you see them.
Pro Tip: If they don't want to install an app, you can Export the Setlist to PDF or Word from Bandfix and email them a single, clean document.
