5th Wind music library

These are the settings that support all your other data entry. You typically set up these configurations once when first organizing your library, and they rarely need regular updates afterward. However, it's important to configure these properly before adding compositions and parts, as they provide the structure and organization for everything else in your system.

Paper sizes Login Required

Track the physical dimensions of your sheet music using standard and custom paper size definitions from this page. You record measurements for proper inventory management and storage organization, ensuring you know exactly what size folders or storage systems you need for each piece, and potentially how much storage space your library requires.

Ensembles Login Required

Define the different performing groups in your organization such as Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Brass Quintet, or String Orchestra through this page. You use these ensemble categories to tag compositions, indicating which groups can perform specific pieces. This helps users find repertoire appropriate for their particular ensemble configuration.

Instruments Login Required

Maintain the master list of all instruments available in your organization using this page. You can organize instruments by family groups and set their orchestral collation order to ensure consistent presentation throughout the system. This helps standardize how instruments appear in reports and part assignments.

Part types Login Required

Define the types of instrument parts used in your compositions through this page. You create entries like "Flute 1", "Trumpet 2", and "Percussion" while setting their orchestral order, assigning default instruments, and organizing them by family. This setup is crucial because you must have part types defined before you can add individual parts to any compositions in your library.

Genres Login Required

Set up your music classification system using categories like March, Jazz, Transcription, Holiday, or Pop from this page. You assign genres to compositions to help organize and filter your collection by musical style, making it easier for users to find pieces that fit their programming needs.

Sections Login Required

Group your part types into logical sections such as Brass, Woodwinds, Percussion, and Strings through this page. You can assign section leaders and organize large ensembles more effectively by creating these groupings, which helps with rehearsal planning and music distribution.

Compositions Login Required

Manage the main catalog of all musical works in your library here. You can add and edit compositions while tracking composer and arranger information, grade levels, performance notes, and storage locations. The system tracks catalog numbers, titles, composers, arrangers, publishers, genres, difficulty grades, and durations to help you organize your collection. Only librarians can edit this content.

Parts Login Required

Use this page to manage individual instrument parts for each composition. You select a composition from the left panel, then manage its associated parts on the right side. The system tracks physical copies, page counts, and paper sizes to help with inventory management. If you are digitizing your library, you can upload a PDF file of each part here, and the system will automatically apply relevant metadata to the PDF file. Only librarians can edit parts information.

Playgrams (concert programs) Librarian+

Create and manage concert programs and playlists through this page. You build ordered lists of compositions for performances by first creating a playgram, then adding compositions in the sequence they will be performed. This helps you organize your concert repertoire and plan performance timing. Only librarians can edit playgrams.

Part distribution Librarian+

Generate lists of parts needed for concerts from this page. You can see which instrument parts are required for each playgram or concert, making it easy to prepare music folders and organize rehearsals efficiently. Parts are organized by section, so that you can download your section's parts as a ZIP file. Only librarians can access this feature.

Concerts Librarian+

Schedule and track actual performance events using this page. You can link playgrams to specific performance dates and venues while tracking conductors and performance notes. The system records performance dates, venue information, conductor details, and connects everything to your prepared playgrams for complete concert documentation. Recordings reference the concert, so that you can easily find and manage them. Only librarians can manage concert information.

Recordings Login Required

Catalog and store audio recordings of performances through this page. You can upload MP3 files up to 40MB, link recordings to specific concerts and compositions, and the system automatically handles metadata tagging. The built-in audio player lets you listen to recordings directly, and ID3 tags are written automatically for proper organization. Only librarians and administrators can manage recordings.

Reports Login Required

Generate comprehensive reports about your music library through this page. You can create composition lists, parts inventory reports, performance history summaries, and missing parts analysis to help manage your collection effectively. The system provides multiple export options, allowing you to save many reports in CSV or PDF formats for sharing with other staff members or for your own record-keeping purposes.

Enable/Disable Manager Librarian+

Perform bulk enable and disable operations across all database tables using this management tool. You can quickly hide outdated or inactive entries without permanently deleting them, which is helpful when you want to clean up your interface while preserving historical data for future reference.

Part Collections Librarian+

Manage collections of parts that are shared among multiple instruments, such as "Percussion 1" or "Flutes". For example, "Percussion 1" might contain "Snare Drum" and "Bass Drum". This page allows you to create and edit which instruments are found on one part, so that you can track which instruments are needed to perform a specific composition.

User Management Admin Only

Manage all user accounts and permissions through this administrative interface. You can add new users, edit existing accounts, and assign roles such as Administrator, Librarian, or User to control access levels throughout the system. The page also provides security functions where you can change passwords and manage access levels to ensure proper system security.

Password Reset & Email Verification Admin Only

Handle password reset requests and email verification processes from this administrative page. You can view all pending requests and manually verify user accounts when automatic email verification isn't working or when users need immediate access to the system.
