PMTNM Recital Organizer: Quick Reference

This guide walks you through the Recital Organizer found under Tools → Recitals. It covers creating a new recital, adding entries, importing from spreadsheets, sharing and managing programs.

1. Access the Recital Organizer

1. Log in to your PMTNM teacher account.
2. Click the **Tools** icon in the top navigation and choose **Open Recital Organizer**, or navigate directly to `https://pmtnm.org/tools_recital.php`.
3. You’ll see a page titled **Recital Organizer** with buttons for **Save**, **Preview Program** and **Print Program**, and a toolbar for program management:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.

2. Create a new program

1. Click **New Program** in the toolbar to start a blank recital.
2. Fill out:

• **Recital Title**
• **Month Day, Year — Time**
• **Venue**

1. Optional: Enter a **custom link slug** (letters and hyphens only). This customizes the URL for your public recital.
2. Decide whether to:

• **Make this recital public (shareable link)**
• **Allow edit by link (logged‑in users)**
• **Solo Recital Mode** (hides performer names and groups pieces by composer)

3. Add entries manually

1. Scroll down to the entry form.
2. Click **Add Entry** to add a new row.
3. Enter each piece’s details:

• **Piece title**
• **Composer** and **Composer details** (dates, country)
• **Performer name**
• **Instrument**
• **City / City, State**
• **Teacher** (optional)

1. Use **Move Up**, **Move Down** and **Remove** to reorder or delete entries:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

4. Import from Google Sheets or CSV

1. Prepare a spreadsheet with columns in this order:
2. Piece Title
3. Composer (Last, First)
4. Composer Details
5. Performer Name
6. Instrument
7. City
8. Teacher
9. Copy your rows (TSV/CSV format preferred) and paste them into the **Paste from Google Sheets** box.
10. Click **Import Rows** to add them to your program.
11. For detailed instructions and sample data, click **Show instructions** or **Show sample (10 items)** on the Tools page.

5. Save, preview and print

• Click **Save** to store the recital in your account. You can select saved programs from the **Active Programs** drop‑down.
• Use **Preview Program** to see the formatted layout.
• Choose a paper size from the **Print size** menu (e.g., 8.5″ × 11″).
• Click **Print Program** to generate a PDF.

6. Manage programs

The toolbar includes several management options:

• **Active Programs:** Drop‑down to select and load previous recitals.
• **Load:** Opens the selected program for editing.
• **View Archives:** Opens archived programs (read‑only). Use **Archive** to move a recital there, or **Delete** to permanently remove it.
• **Share Link:** Generates a shareable link (depending on public/edit settings).
• **Collaborators:** Invite other PMTNM members to co‑edit your recital.
• **History:** View a log of changes made to the recital.

7. Final steps and verification

1. After saving, click **Share Link** to copy the public URL. Test the link in a new browser tab.
2. If you created a custom slug and made your recital public, the URL will follow the format `https://pmtnm.org/recital/your‑slug`.
3. Return to the **Recital Organizer** at any time to edit entries, adjust settings or archive the program.
