Share your repertoire with a band or a class

How a band works on Alviena: who sees what, how you invite people, and why one licence is enough.

Creating a band and inviting people

You create a band by giving it a name. You then generate an invitation link, valid for seven days, and pass it on however you like: message, email, on paper. Whoever opens it joins the band, with no separate sign-up for the band itself.

The two roles

There are only two roles, deliberately. A leader manages: they change the name, description and photo, attach or remove charts, and can remove a member. A member reads the repertoire, plays, and adds charts to their own book. Whoever creates the band is a leader by default and cannot leave it — it has to be handed over or deleted first.

Who sees which charts

Charts attached to the band are available to every member, including ones you keep private elsewhere. That is the key point: you do not have to publish a chart to share it with your band. Setlists created in the band are shared the same way.

One licence covers the whole band

This is the question we get most. Creating a band requires a Pro subscription, but **only the person creating it** needs one. Invited members use the shared repertoire, the setlists and stage mode on a free account. A five-piece band therefore does not pay five subscriptions.

For a teacher

The model suits teaching well. A class becomes a band: you write the chart once and every student has it in their book. Several classes become several bands, each with its own repertoire. And each student transposes on their side, for their voice or their instrument, without affecting anyone else’s version.

Without an account or a subscription

For a one-off — a jam, a rehearsal with someone passing through — a live session avoids creating a band at all. A six-character code, valid six hours, that your guests enter without creating an account.
