Your desktop wallpaper becomes a music command center — setlists, practice logs, BPM targets, and gig schedules always visible without opening a single app.
Organize songs with keys, tempos, and notes right on your desktop. Reorder for gigs by editing cells. Column headers keep song title, key, BPM, and duration neatly aligned.
Log daily practice — instrument, exercise, duration, BPM achieved. Column sums (Σ) auto-total your weekly hours so you can see exactly how much time you've put in.
Keep target tempos for every piece visible while you practice. No switching to a metronome app to remember your goal BPM — it's right there on your wallpaper.
Track upcoming gigs, rehearsals, and recording sessions with the d: countdown prefix. See "⏳ 3d Friday Gig" counting down on your desktop every time you glance at it.
Pin chord progressions, scale patterns, or transposition notes in cells. Always visible while you're composing or arranging — no tab-switching to a reference sheet.
Use r: cells to launch backing tracks, DAW projects, or tutorial links with a keystroke. Put r: open ~/Music/Projects/new-song.als and hit Enter to jump straight in.
Create a CSV with columns for song name, key, BPM, duration, and notes. Load it with dotnet run -- setlist.csv --desktop. Edit on the fly — additions save automatically every 5 seconds.
Dedicate a row per practice session: date, piece, technique focus, minutes spent, current BPM. Use column sums to see total practice time. Watch your tempo targets inch up week over week.
Add d: 2026-06-15 Summer Festival cells for upcoming shows. The countdown updates every refresh — "⏳ 12d Summer Festival" becomes "★ TODAY Summer Festival" when showtime arrives.
Put r: open ~/Music/current-project.als in a cell. Select it and press Enter — your DAW opens to the right project. No digging through file managers or recent files.
Share your setlist as Markdown: dotnet run -- setlist.csv --export-md setlist.md. Paste into Discord, email, or print for the music stand. Everyone sees the same song order, keys, and notes.
