From the first local gig to a packed tour calendar — BandInPlay handles the music, the people, the paperwork, and the pay.
Start free →Build proper NNS charts per song: sections, qualities, bass notes. See the numbers, the chords, or both at once. Flip between them and transpose any song to a new key with one tap — perfect for moving your originals into whatever key the room needs. Instant, on stage, even offline.
Drag songs into a setlist, reorder on the fly, and the whole band pulls up the same thing on stage. Rehearsal setlists keep practice tight, with charts, lyrics, and reference tracks one tap away.
Lay out your stage — players, amps, monitors, DI boxes, inputs — and send a clean, professional plot to the venue ahead of load-in. No more napkin sketches or "we'll figure it out at soundcheck."
Record the guarantee, log expenses, and reconcile each show so you always know what the band actually made. Split pay across members, track who's owed, and stop guessing at the end of the month.
We looked hard at what's out there. Most tools nail one slice — setlists, or scheduling, or finances. Here's what you get in one place, and what tends to be missing elsewhere.

Some tools do things BandInPlay doesn't — hardware MIDI/lighting control or venue-side networks, for example. If that's your world, they may fit better. If you want your whole operation, real number charts, and true offline in one place, that's us.
