14.8 Set lists
It is possible to save and load set lists in the Page Window. Set lists are simply text files with a list of
page names. When the set list is loaded, MagicQ rearranges the pages so that they are in the order
specified in the set list. Pages that are not specified in the set list (for example songs not being used today)
are moved after all the pages specified in the set list file.
To use set lists, first name all the pages in the Page Window according to the song name or section name.
You can then save this as a set list by pressing the Save Set List soft button – the file is saved into the
show folder with a .txt file extension. You can edit this file with a text editor (e.g. Windows Notepad) to
rearrange the songs. Load the set list back into MagicQ using the Load Set List soft button.
