How matching and updates work

  • Setz matches an existing song by trimmed title without regard to capitalization. A match updates that song; otherwise a new song is created.
  • Repeated rows for the same title collapse to one song, with the last supplied value winning.
  • If an optional column is not present, the existing value is preserved. If the column is present but a cell is blank, that field is cleared.
  • Length, BPM, and memory location must be valid values. An invalid row stops a successful import.
  • New songs receive unique Live MIDI triggers automatically. The import cannot complete if the band has no unique notes left to assign.
Note:Setz also recognizes common older/alternate headings such as Length or Duration, Tempo, Segway, Memory Location, and Lyrics.
