Arrange a Large Setlist Using Both Bifolds and Trifolds

When you have a large setlist, it’s nice to know that your music is in order and ready to go, with page turns minimized! Here’s how to arrange your large setlist using both bifold and trifold sheet protectors.

For comparison, this example uses the same setlist used in Arrange a Large Setlist Using Only Trifolds. It has 14 songs, 3-10 pages long (most are 4-5 pages). There are 62 total pages of music.

This focuses on how to arrange the setlist using both bifolds and trifolds.

There are pros and cons to using the combination of bifolds and trifolds.

It may be less cost-effective. It won’t be a significant difference, but you’ll need both bifold and trifold sheet protectors to make this work.

Music will be in right-sized sheet protectors. Using both bifolds and trifolds means that you can use the sheet protector combination that exactly fits the number of pages in each song.

There’s slightly more bulk. No two pieces of music share a trifold or bifold; therefore, more sheet protectors are used.

Using both is great for a frequently changing setlist. Each piece of music is contained in its own bifold/trifold combo (no songs “share” a sheet protector). That makes it super easy to move songs around if the order changes.

You can set it and forget it. If you like storing music in sheet protectors, you’ll never have to change music in and out of them. You merely grab the sheet-protected songs you need, and load them into the binder in the order of your playlist.

The video below describes how to arrange the setlist using bifolds and trifolds. Songs are placed in the binder in the order in which they’ll be played.

A close-up of the infographic used in the video is shown below that.

Using bifolds and trifolds to arrange this large setlist took 17 bifolds and 8 trifolds. That equates to

  • 1 ChoreoKeeper binder (with its included set of 4 trifolds),

  • 1 additional set of trifolds (4 trifolds/set), and

  • 3 sets of bifolds (6 bifolds/set).

This compares to the trifold-only option which used

  • 1 ChoreoKeeper binder (with its included set of 4 trifolds) and
