How to get Vocals/Leads into Music Stand?

December 10, 2023
Beginner
Okay, so I'm new to this, been learning to lead, bass, and not trained in this. So I need the Lead sheets and Bass vocals, (I hope I have names for things right) so I got my technical team to sign us up for the Premium on CCLI so that I don't have to buy all the SOF books which are too heavy to really use anyway.

In the CCLI/SongSelect app I can find the music sheet for SATB vocals. I was expecting that the sheets would import into the Music Stand app and then I just need to view them on a large tablet device. But that appears to not be easy to do. How do I get those sheets with all the crotchets and squiggles into Music Stand?

Thanks in advance

OK , still some help needed.
I worked out that I have to export the vocals as PDF from SongSelect, and then attach them in the Planning tool, that's not too much work... but the PDF attachments are not shown in Music Stand, what's going on with that expectation I had? Will Music Stand work for me in this situation or is this entire platform aimed at a different use case?

(Clearing cache in Music stand weirdly fixed a bug where the Lyrics view was badly stretched out and off the top of the page so unusable on Android.)

When you import a song from SongSelect, all its Lyrics, Chords, Lead and Vocal Sheets are automatically brought into Music Stand. You just need to change the source of the music: https://www.worshiptools.com/en-us/docs/72-ms-songselect

The PDF attachments should also be working. If they are not, please contact us via email at [email protected]

OK - in the end I did figure it out - I got a mailer / circular that hinted at how to do this yesterday and viola easy once I knew where to tap and which menus to just dig down into to just get it to work right off without any fiddles with PDF files. A bit of patience and hunting yeah, but pretty easy in the end really. Now all I need is to choose a tablet to take with in about 5 weeks time. thanks
