Organizing Ideas

Tags, favorites, pinning, trim, markers, and bulk actions

Ideas support several ways to stay organized as your collection grows:

  • Tags — Add custom tags (e.g. "verse", "hook", "guitar", "beat") to categorize ideas. Tags are searchable and filterable.
  • Favorites — Star your best ideas to surface them quickly with the favorites filter.
  • Pinning — Pin ideas to keep them at the top of the list regardless of creation date.
  • Trim — Adjust the start and end points of an idea to isolate the good part without editing the original file.
  • Markers — Drop labeled markers at specific timestamps (e.g. "chorus starts here", "key change") for quick reference.
  • Notes — Add text notes to capture context, lyrics, or any additional detail about the idea.

Filtering

The ideas page has a filter toolbar that lets you search by text, filter by starred/pinned/linked status, and filter by tags — so you can quickly narrow down your collection.

Bulk Actions

On the web, you can enter selection mode to act on multiple ideas at once. Bulk actions include:

  • Add to Song — Add all selected ideas to the same song and recording version
  • Create Song — Create a new song and add all selected ideas to it
  • Tag — Apply or remove tags from all selected ideas
  • Star / Unstar — Batch toggle favorites
  • Pin / Unpin — Batch toggle pinning
  • Delete — Delete all selected ideas and their audio files
