Multiple Favourites Lists
I am just going through the planning for adding the ability to have multiple favourites lists under the one username. I would be interested in suggestions on what is needed.
My current thinking is that there would be:
Up to 10 favourite lists.
No song could be in more than one list – problem?
You could show any list plus “all Faves” and also songs “not in any list”
Will need ability to add, delete or rename a list (without deleting the song – it would just be moved to the new list if rename or to “not in any list” if deleting)
Retaining current favourite limits
Feedback?

I love the idea of this feature! For my use case – creating songbooks for my club’s monthly jams – limiting a song to only one favorites list would not be a problem; while we do repeat some songs from month to month, once the monthly jam is over I’d just move them all back to my primary favorites list. Today, I drag the songs for our monthly jams to the top of the single favorites list {where I can rearrange them and then select them to generate the song book) which is quite tedious as the drag seems to only work on what’s visible on the screen (so I need to drag, then scroll, then drag, then scroll, until I get to the top). And then I need to remember to save the sort order, which is easy to forget to do. So this feature would save me a lot of work and a lot of frustration!
Jon, I have decided that songs need to be able to be in more than one list so working on that now
You will be able to re-order any of the lists with the drag and drop but can can only save the sort order for one list at a time – a very difficult restriction to get around at the moment but working on it.
You can select songs to copy or move from one list to another Will have the “All” list and “Not-Set” lists as well as the user defined lists. Will be able to rename, delete and add lists

Hi Jim, my only thoughts are with the same song not being in more than one list. If we were composing sets for different occasions for playback on a tablet or laptop, it may be handy to have a song in “Songs for Oldies’ and also in “Ballads’ etc. Otherwise, all ok. Thanks for all your work in putting this site together. I promote it on all other Ukulele sites I visit as well as in response to questions regarding numbers of chords, key changes, adding your own songs, editing current ones etc etc. Cheers, Terry from Tassie
Yes – I have decided that songs need to be able to be in more than one list so working on that now
Thanks for the kind words 🙂

Hi Jim and great work on the multiple lists. But (always a but huh?) I think there should be the provision to either delete a list or at least rename it. I noticed that there was a new list created automatically called ‘Not Set’ (110) in my case as well as ‘All’ (110). I looked for a way to rename either of these two and couldn’t see how to do it. Just teething niggles I’m sure. So far, I’ve created a new list for Sea Shanties and Boats, copied files to it and it works like a dream.
Thanks again, Terry
