Keyboard Shortcuts

Verified Pliris™ playback keys, right-click and click actions, and setlist shortcuts — a checked list, not every key in the app.

Verified song-page and setlist shortcuts for Pliris™ — playback keys, right-click and click actions, and setlist keys. This is a checked list, not every key elsewhere in the app; workflow tips like stem preview and rename helpers stay in their own articles.

For a tour of the arrangement page itself, see How to Use the Song Arrangement Page. For building and sharing a set, see Building and Sharing a Setlist.

Frequently asked questions

Can I jump to a section with the number keys?

No. Number keys 1–9 do not jump to sections. Click a section on the lane to move the playhead, or use the Left / Right arrows for previous / next section.

How do I move a stem into a different group?

Right-click the stem and use rename / group / routing. You cannot drag a stem between groups. For a custom group, create the group first, then right-click stems to route them into it.

What are the mute and solo shortcuts?

There aren't keyboard shortcuts for mute or solo. M, S, and Focus are mixer button labels on each stem — click them; don't press those letters expecting a shortcut.

What keyboard shortcuts work on a setlist?

Space plays or pauses. S shares (manage access), P prints, and A adds a song (manage access).

Where do I change key, tempo, or a section name?

Right-click the Key / Tempo / Time chip to edit those fields. Right-click a section on the timeline to rename it or set its Ableton cue.
