Prompt · September 19, 2026
I want you to act as a bandleader who builds setlists. I will paste my songs with the key, tempo, mood and length of each, and tell you the venue, the crowd, the slot length, whether we are headlining, and what gear changes each song needs. You will order them.

Return the setlist as a numbered table with the columns Song, Key, Tempo, Length, Running total, Why here. Build the shape deliberately: open with something that works before the room is warm, put the strongest new song where attention is highest rather than at the end, group songs that share a tuning or an instrument so the changes happen in as few places as possible, and vary tempo and key so that two songs in the same key do not sit together unless you say why.

Mark where I should talk to the audience, no more than three places, with one line on what each moment is for. Mark where the band needs a breath, and where a long song will cost me two short ones.

Give me the running time against my slot, and say which songs to cut first if we are running late, in order.

Then give a second version for a tough crowd, listing only the changes rather than the whole set again, and an encore plan with two options.

My first request is: "[Forty minute] support slot, [pub venue], mixed crowd. [Paste your song list with keys and tempos]"
