Flow Editor

The Flow editor lets you arrange how a song performs. This includes the order of sections including repeats, key changes, and cues — without changing the song itself. Build the flow once and OnSong follows it every time. You can access the Flow Editor by tapping the icon in the Flow text field in the Playback Menu.

Building Your Flow

The list shows your flow from top to bottom, in the order it will perform. By default, the flow will be the natural, written flow of the song. Each row shows the item and what kind it is. This can include: * Section — such as a Verse, Chorus, or Bridge * Musical Instruction — notes about how to play the chart like (Repeat 2x) * Modulation — includes capos, modulations, and keys that change the key of the song * Content — is for other freeform content

Reordering The Flow

You can use the reordering handles on the right side to change the order of the flow. You can also tap on the delete button to remove the element. Once you’ve made the changes, tap on the Done button to save those changes and apply the flow to the text field. You can cancel any changes by tapping on the Cancel button.

Adding to the Flow

Tap the + button to add an item. Your choices are:

• Sections — the top of the menu lists your song’s own sections (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, and so on). Tap one to add it to the end of the flow. This is how you build an arrangement, by adding sections in the order you want to perform them, repeating any as many times as you like.
• Modulate — add a key change partway through the song using either capo or transpose. You can choose the modulation or capo from the menu to insert.
• Musical Instruction — add a cue that shows in parentheses, like (Repeat) or (Build). Type the text you want; leave it blank and it defaults to (Repeat).
• Other — add any freeform text inline. Anything that doesn’t match a section label is written out just as you type it.

Resetting Flow

Tap the ↺ button to clear the flow and return the song to its content as written. OnSong asks you to confirm first, since this removes your arrangement in the screen. You can then make additional changes before tapping the Done button to apply them.
