Music library

Keep the right music findable, and put the right part in the right player’s hands.

The catalogue

Permanent piece ID numbers that are never reused.
Title, composer, arranger, publisher, genre, grade, duration and notes, with search and filters.
Import from Excel or CSV, and export. Bandmin guesses your columns and you correct them. Columns it doesn’t recognise can be kept as custom columns.
Versions of a piece can share a number with a letter (21, 21L low vocal, 21H high vocal), or use entirely separate numbers.

Tag each piece Instrumental or Vocal, if you want to (it can be switched off in settings).
Upload a whole score, individual parts, or one combined PDF per piece.
Instruments are detected from file names and page headings. Edit your band’s instruments and aliases.
Split a combined PDF into parts automatically from page headings, or by clicking page thumbnails, with select all, deselect all and a large page preview.
Part numbers (Alto Sax 1, Alto Sax 2) are kept in every label and file name.

Players see only the parts for their own instrument and part number.
Browse in catalogue order, or in the order of a physical folder.
Download as a ZIP, or as one printable PDF.
Roles: Member (own parts), Music Director (all parts and whole packages) and Librarian (manage the library).

Add up to four lines of watermark text per band, each with its own words, position, size, strength, first or every page, and bold.
Insert details such as piece number, folder number, title, composer, band, part and who downloaded it.
The watermark is added as the file is served, so your uploaded files are never altered. Override or turn it off per piece. Librarians can open the clean original.
Every download also carries a tiny, faint reference code. Only Bandmin administrators can look one up to trace a leaked copy back to a member, and every lookup is logged.
