Make Song Part "Empty"

Postby kbmatson » 16 Oct 2018, 18:59

i don't see any way, in a song, to set parts to "nothing" or "empty program". If i have a song, but it has only 2 or 3 parts, i would like to have the other parts "blanked out" so they don't cause any confusion. any way to do this?

THANKS!

Why don´t you just create a program with no name and no sound and put that there?

I’m not by my NS3 right now, but I believe that all 5 program slots in a Song are automatically filled by whatever is in the first Program slot (A11). I put an empty program there and it seemed to work.

I use each of the 5 slots as individual songs. I rarely use more than one program per song, so one "Song" is actually 5 programs in my setup. If a song needs two programs, I just put them next to each other. I can load two gigs (or more) if necessary, in advance, so if I play on Friday and Saturday, I can have both set lists loaded and ready to go. Still a single button push per program-

Ok - so made an "empty song named "-----" with no sound and used it to fill my extra spots. I too have a program per song for many songs, but a few require multiples, and that is where I use this. I've also learned that for a lot of songs, the A and B panels will effectively give me "two parts" for a single song.
