Set flows: the shape of a set, from Fast to slow

A set flow is the shape of a set: which feels come in what order. Your church starts with four, and Fast to slow is the usual one: about a third of the songs Fast, one Mid, and the rest Slow. Suggest songs, Make a set and Pad's "Build me a set" all fill the flow, from 1 to 12 songs.

The four flows you start with

• Fast to slow: Fast about a third, Mid 1, Slow the rest. Six songs are 2 Fast, 1 Mid, 3 Slow.
• Slow build: Slow 1, Mid 1, Fast about a third, Slow the rest, for a worship night.
• All slow: every song Slow, for prayer or communion.
• Celebration: Fast about half, Mid 1, Slow the rest, for Easter or Christmas.

Each song's feel is Fast, Mid or Slow: a leader's choice, else its tempo. A song with no feel set can fill any part. See the feel and what it's about.

Make or change a flow

1. On a draft service's Plan tab, press Suggest songs, then Edit flows. Owners and admins can also go to Settings, under Service types, and press Change the flows.
2. Press New flow, or Change beside a flow.
3. Give it a Name, then set its parts in order. Each part has a Feel (Fast, Mid, Slow or Any) and How many: 1, 2 or 3, About a third, About half, or The rest.
4. Use Add a part (five at most), and the arrow buttons to move a part up or down or remove it. Exactly one part takes The rest.
5. What it gives shows the set for 1 to 12 songs as it changes. Press Make the flow or Save the flow.

Under the three dots beside a flow, Move up and Move down change its place in the Flow list, and Archive puts it away (you always keep at least one). Bring back returns an archived flow.

A type's usual flow

Each service type has a usual flow: open the type in Settings, under Service types, and choose its Flow. Suggest songs starts on it, and you can choose another for one service. A type with none uses Fast to slow.

Good to know

• When the parts ask for more songs than you chose, the parts with a number give way first, from the last one back, then About a third and About half. The part that takes The rest always keeps at least one song.
• In Suggest songs, a tap on one of the small chips under Flow changes that one song's feel for this time only. Your flow stays as it is.
