The short answer
Open the song in Edit Song. In the third column, Render, choose Sequence instead of Blocks. Build the order under Playback Order by clicking or dragging sections from the list above it... every drag adds another instance, so a chorus can appear as many times as the band sings it. Save.
From then on, the up and down arrows walk the song in that order, on every screen, and the Active Item list shows every repeat in place.
That is the whole task. The rest of this page explains the two modes, how to build an arrangement quickly, and what changes on Sunday when you use one.
Blocks and Sequence, in plain words
A song in Broadcasteer is made of sections: Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Bridge, Ending. Each section is written once in the song's middle column.
Blocks plays those sections top to bottom, once each, in the order you wrote them. This is the default and it is how every song has always behaved. The letter shortcut keys stay live, so you can jump straight to the chorus whenever the band decides to go there.
Sequence plays an order you build. The sections are still written once, but the playback order can use any of them as many times as you like, in any order. If the band sings V1, C, V2, C, C, B, C, C, E, that is nine steps, and the arrows walk all nine.
Nothing is copied. The chorus is still one block of lyrics. If you fix a typo in it, every instance of the chorus in the arrangement carries the fix.
Step by step
Write the sections first. In Edit Song, make sure every part of the song exists once in the middle column: each verse, the chorus, the bridge, any tag or ending. If a section does not exist yet, the Render column has nothing to arrange... it will simply say to add sections first.
Choose Sequence. In the Render column at the right, the two options are Blocks (marked Default) and Sequence (marked Arranged). Pick Sequence.
Start from the blocks, if it helps. There is a Fill from blocks button that seeds the order with your sections in the order they are written. For most songs that is the fastest start: you already have V1, C, V2, B, E, and you only need to drag in the repeats.
Add instances. The row of available sections says Click or drag down. Each click or drag appends a new instance to the Playback Order. Drag the chorus in twice and you get two choruses. Nothing is used up; sections stay available after you use them, because that is the whole point.
Reorder and remove. Drag a row within the Playback Order to move it. The small ✕ on a row removes that one instance and leaves the others alone.
Check the preview. The editor's preview steps through the arrangement as it will actually run, repeats and all, in the theme you chose. Walk it once from top to bottom. If it reads right here, it will read right on Sunday.
Save. The arrangement is saved on the song in your library. It is still there next week and every week after, until someone changes it.
What changes during the service
The arrows walk your order. Up and down step through the arrangement exactly as you built it, including two choruses in a row. Stepping down from the last line of the first chorus lands on the first line of the second chorus, not back at the top of the same one.
The Active Item list shows every repeat. If the chorus appears four times, you see it four times, in place, so you always know where you are in the song and not just which block you are in.
The shortcut keys step aside. On a sequenced song, the letter keys and the Plan Remote's section buttons go quiet, and the footer says so: step the arrangement with the arrows, shortcut keys are off for this song. That is deliberate. If the order is already decided, a stray letter key jumping to the chorus would pull you out of it.
On a Blocks song, nothing changes at all. Shortcuts work exactly as they did before.
Every screen follows. The singers' phones, the stage monitor, the pulpit display, the Plan Remote and the Active Item list all show the same order and highlight the same live line. You arrange once, in one place.
When to use which
Use Sequence when the band plays the song the same way most weeks. A worship set that has been rehearsed. A hymn with a fixed pattern of verses and refrains. A song where the ending tag repeats three times and you are tired of pressing the same key three times.
Stay on Blocks when the order is genuinely decided in the moment. Some worship leaders repeat a chorus until the room is ready and not a moment before. Sequence cannot follow that, and it should not pretend to. Blocks plus the shortcut keys is the right tool there.
A practical habit: arrange the song at the Thursday or Saturday rehearsal, with the band's actual order in front of you, then leave it. Because the arrangement lives on the library song, it will still be there the next time the song comes up, which is usually what you want. If the leader changes the order for one Sunday, change it back afterwards, or duplicate the song for that one version.
A small example
Say the song is written as four sections: Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Bridge, plus a short Ending. The band plays:
Verse 1 · Chorus · Verse 2 · Chorus · Chorus · Bridge · Chorus · Chorus · Ending
In Edit Song you would choose Sequence, press Fill from blocks to get V1, C, V2, B, E, then drag the chorus in after V2 again, twice after the bridge, and make sure the ending is last. Nine rows. The preview walks nine steps. On Sunday, the arrows walk nine steps, and the stage monitor never loses its place on the second chorus.
I wrote this feature because I lead worship once a month, and the part of the song I remember least is the order. Having the screen already know it means one less thing in my head.
Common questions from the booth
Does the arrangement travel with a plan I back up to the cloud? Yes, the arrangement travels with the song when a plan is saved to the cloud and opened on another machine, the same way the song's theme does. One honest caveat: if the other machine already had its own separate copy of that song, open it in Edit Song and check the order before the service rather than assuming it.
What if I edit the lyrics of a section? Edit it once. Every instance of that section in the arrangement uses the same lyrics, so every instance updates.
Can I see the arrangement before anyone else does? Yes, that is what the editor preview is for. Step through it in the theme you are using before the service, not during it.
