Directions
1. Create a free account with Google.
If you do not have a Google or Gmail account, take a few minutes to create an account. It is completely free and registering does not take long.
2. At the top of your Google homepage find and click the Documents tab.
If it isn't listed at the header, the option will be under the drop down bar labeled More.
3. Click the New tab and open up a blank spreadsheet.
Spreadsheets are useful for any kind of list. Add the song titles for your next live gig to the spreadsheet. Give the list a clear title like "Setlist for 10/20/2009" to avoid any confusion. Google spreadsheets save automatically when you move to a new cell, but if you create a regular text document, remember to save it before closing. You can create as many documents as you want for free.
4. Invite your band mates to view and edit the document.
At the top right corner click the blue Share tab and select the Invite People option. Then enter the email addresses of all the band members. Give them permission to view and edit the document, then submit the addresses. Everyone you invited can now see the list and add notes or new songs. This is also a good method for collaborative songwriting; try sharing new lyrics this way.
