Set Lists — Overview and Activation

A set list is an ordered sequence of tracks for performance. Where a crate is an unordered pool of tracks and the transitions derived from them, a set list lays out the order you plan (or played) the tracks in. This page covers what a set list is, where it lives in the UI, and what activating one does to the rest of the player.

For the Set List vocabulary entry and how it sits alongside Crates, Collections, and Transitions, see New Concepts in Plus.

Where set lists live

Set lists live in the Library popover's Transitions section. For the full sub-tab roster (Crates, Tracks, Transitions, Set Lists, Performances), see The Transitions Section. This chapter touches two of them: Set Lists (where you activate a set list) and Performances (where you review past runs — see Reviewing Past Performances).

Activating a set list

A set list is just a saved list of tracks until you make it active. When active, Fusor Studio uses it to drive the transition picker.

  1. From Library → Transitions, switch to the Set Lists sub-tab.
  2. Click the set list's row, or right-click it and choose Activate. Opening its contents activates it too, whether from the Show contents icon at the right of the row or Show Contents in the right-click menu.

While a set list is active:

  • The transition picker shows only the transitions referenced by the set list, in the set list's order, overriding the active crate as the picker source.
  • A "Next" anchor row appears at the top of the picker, pointing at the transition the set list's cursor is currently on. Loading from the Next row advances the cursor; loading any other row from the set list jumps the cursor to that position.
  • The status line's right side shows a small coverage hint alongside the active venue: what portion of the set list has been played so far.

To stop driving the picker from the set list, right-click the active row in the same Set Lists sub-tab and choose Deactivate. Deactivating an active set list with no recorded performance discards the in-progress cursor state; deactivating one that has been substantially played offers to end and record the performance to the Performances log first.

Only one set list can be active at a time. Activating a different set list will prompt to deactivate the current one first.

While a performance is running, Fusor Studio refuses to switch. The right-click Activate item is greyed out and reads Activate (end performance first). Clicking the row or opening the contents puts Can't switch set lists — end the performance first on the status line instead. The contents still open, so you can read through a set list without switching to it. Clicking the set list that is already active isn't a switch, so it isn't blocked.
