Tip:
Give customized orders of service to your technicians, musicians, worship leaders, etc.

The issue:
You deal with different groups of people every week in planning worship: technicians, musicians, worship leaders, desktop publishers, etc. Each one of them would benefit from a customized order of service, instead of wading through details that don't apply to them.

Solution:
Use worship planning software such as Service Designer to do ONE session of planning, with multiple types of targeted output.

Bring up Service Designer's WorshiPlan and fill in the overall details such as date, leaders, theme, etc. Click the Detail View button to move to the next screen.

Add new events in the service by Right-clicking and selecting "add line". Now add songs and hymns that you have "tagged" as ones you wish to use from Service Designer's libraries.

Copyright reporting is automatic. Click the "Record Date" button so that the usage history for this hymn or song will be updated.

You can control which verses of a song you do at each service without affecting the "master" copy of the song's lyrics. Notice the buttons above for "Tech" and "Spoken"...these can be used to give freeform notes to your technicians and other worship leaders.

Above are several events in this order of service. Service Designer fills in all the relevant details about songs & hymns, including page references, keys, lyrics, etc. Notice in this window the button for Musicians' Notes. This will open a freeform window for notes to your musicians.

Once your order of service is done, you can select multiple types of output.

Musicians' Notes (see above) include the freeform notes you have made to your musicians, and things like keys and song maps. Technicians' notes (see below) include the freeform notes you have made to them, and things like timings, lyrics and other relevant cues.
