4.03 - Setlist .xml format was created by admin

Although it is always best to edit setlists with the Lyric Pad 3 editors it is often useful to understand the file format.

Set list files in Lyric Pad 3 are xml files and contain several specific items:

Header
The top line of every xml file must be this header.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>

Title
Every set list can include one title object which is displayed in the setlist listing and the editor

<Title>title goes here</Title>

Notes / Info
Every set list can include one Notes object which is displayed in the setlist listing and the editor

<Notes>set list info goes here</Notes>

SetList Items
Actual items in the setlist come in three forms.

SetList markers - These show up in Lyric pad 3 as Set 1, Set 2, Set3. The first item in a setlist MUST be a setlist marker.
SongItem - These are links to songs. They need to be full links to the song files
TextItem - These are simple text items that get displayed within the setlist. They act as songs but do not have a song file associated with them.

Full Example

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<Title>title goes here</Title>
<Notes>set list info goes here</Notes>
<SetItem />
<SongItem File="/storage/emulated/0/LyricPad3/Lyrics/Rock Band/Beat It.txt" />
<SongItem File="/storage/emulated/0/LyricPad3/Lyrics/Rock Band/Am I ever gonna see your face again.txt" />
<SongItem File="/storage/emulated/0/LyricPad3/Lyrics/Rock Band/All Right Now.txt" />
<SetItem />
<SongItem File="/storage/emulated/0/LyricPad3/Lyrics/Rock Band/Blame It On The Boogie.txt" />
<TextItem Text="text iem text" />
<SongItem File="/storage/emulated/0/LyricPad3/Lyrics/Rock Band/Carry On Wayward Son.txt" />
