# Your public page

> A page of your tracks at songco.de/@you. Claim a tag, choose which published tracks show and in what order, make it yours, or make it private with one switch.

Your public page lives at `songco.de/@` and a tag you choose. Anyone can open it, signed in or not, with or without an invite. Each track on it plays right there, shows its ode, and can be remixed into the visitor's own Songcode.

Set it up under **public page** on the [dashboard](https://docs.songco.de/dashboard/).

## Claim a tag

Type the tag you want after `songco.de/@`. Songcode says straight away whether it is free, then **claim** makes it yours.

- 3 to 24 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens, starting and ending with a letter or number. Capitals are read as lowercase, so `@Night-Bus` is `@night-bus`.
- First come, first served. One tag per account.
- Some tags are kept for Songcode: the app's own addresses (`admin`, `blog`, `docs`, `pricing` and the rest) and anything that would read as Songcode or its staff. A few words are not allowed at all.

A tag can change once every 30 days, from the **tag** section. For 30 days after a change, your old address sends people to the new one and nobody else can claim it.

## Public or private

The page is public from the moment you claim a tag. The **public page** switch at the top takes it off the web: the address then shows a page that does not exist, exactly as an unclaimed tag does, and only you can see your page while signed in. Your tag stays yours.

**view page** opens your page. **copy link** copies its address.

## Choose your tracks

Nothing you publish shows on your page until you choose it. Under **tracks**, each published track has a switch: turn it on to show it.

**share all published songs** shows every published track, including the ones you publish later, except any you switch off one by one. It is off to begin with.

- The arrows at the left of a row move it up or down. The page shows tracks in that order.
- The star features a track: it goes first, marked **featured**, with the opening lines of its ode under it.
- Drafts and remixes you have not published never show.

## Make it yours

- **about you**: a name (it shows in place of your tag, with the tag under it), a short bio and up to four links. Links to X, GitHub, SoundCloud, Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube, Instagram and the like are named after the site.
- your picture is the one you set in the dashboard sidebar.
- **accent**: the colour of the play buttons and of the song that is playing. The accents that come with a plan or with referrals in [customize](https://docs.songco.de/dashboard/customize/) come with them here too.
- **layout**: the header (**glow**, **bars** or **plain**, and with a plan **aurora**, **waves**, **pixels**, **spectrum**, **score** or **your ode**, which scrolls the ode of your first track behind the header), and the tracks as a **list** or as **cards with ode**, where every track shows the opening lines of its ode. Each choice is drawn small, so you can see it before you pick it.
- **with a plan**: the typeface of your name and song titles (**sans**, **serif** or **mono**), a **ring** around your picture (**glow** or **orbit**), and **film grain** over the page. Plan headers and looks go back to the defaults if the plan ends, and come back when it does.
- **show on the page**: an **activity** grid of your songs per day over the last year, **play counts**, **composed by** and your **joined date**. The activity grid and **composed by** are on to begin with. **composed by** shows, after each track's stems, the model that composed it with its maker's mark, for a track Songcode composed, the quality it composed at (**fast**, **balanced**, **extra** or **ultra compose**), or **by hand** for a track you [wrote yourself](https://docs.songco.de/ode/write-by-hand/).

Your email, your prompts and your plan never show on the page.

## On the page

Each track is a small player: press play and the Songcode Audio Engine plays the song in the page. Each one says whether it is a **loop** or a **full song**. A loop goes round until you stop it; a full song plays once, to its end. The bar under the title is the song's form, one segment per section, and it lights section by section as the song plays. Click a lit segment to jump to that section.

With more than one track, visitors can put them in your order (**picked**), newest first (**recent**), **most played** (when play counts show) or **most remixed**. The choice stays in the page's address.

- **ode** opens the song's ode over the page, to read and scroll. While the song plays, the rows that are sounding light up, as in the Songcode Studio. **copy ode** copies it.
- **view song** opens the track's [song page](https://docs.songco.de/app/public-page/#a-page-for-each-song).
- **remix in Songcode** (on the track and under the ode) opens the track in the app as a [remix](https://docs.songco.de/app/save-and-share/#remix), saved in the visitor's library under remixes. It never opens the original: only its writer does. A visitor who is not signed in is asked to sign in first.
- A remix on a page says **remix of** and links to the track it came from, and to its author's page when that page is public.

Under your name, **N remixes** counts the remixes you have published of other people's tracks, and **remixed N times** counts the remixes other people have made of the tracks on your page, published or not. Each track shows its own **remixed N times** too. Neither shows until there is one.

Plays on public pages count toward the plays on your overview, which only ever counts other people.

## When you share the link

A link to your page unfurls on X, Discord, iMessage and the like with a card of its own: your picture (or your initial), your name and tag, the founder badge if you have it, your counts of tracks, plays, times remixed and remixes, and the last six months of your activity grid, in your accent. It only shows what the page shows: hidden play counts or a hidden grid stay off the card, and a count of zero is left out. When something on it changes, the card's address changes too, so a new share shows the new card. A private page has no card.

## A page for each song

Every track on your public page has a page of its own at `songco.de/@yourtag/<id>`: click a track's title to open it. You choose this when you publish (**on my public page** or **only people with the link**), and you can copy a shown track's song page link with the link button beside it in **settings → public page**. It plays the song, shows its numbers (plays when your page shows them, times remixed), you with a link to your page, its composer (when **composed by** is on, as **composer: songcode extra** or **composer: opus 5.5**), the whole ode, and what the song is made of: kind, genre, tempo, key, meter, length, form and stems. If it is a remix it links to the track it came from, and it lists the remixes other people have shown on their own pages.

**remix in Songcode** opens the song in the visitor's own Songcode as a remix, with its ode, every stem and the mixer, saved in their library under remixes; the original stays with you. Visitors who are not in yet can ask for early access there. **copy link** copies the song page's address. On your own song page the button reads **open your session**.

A song has a page only while it is on your public page. Hide the track, or make your page private, and its page answers "not found" like any address that does not exist. You can still open it yourself while signed in, with a note that only you can see it.

[Public pages for you and your songs](https://songco.de/blog/public-pages/) on the blog walks through both kinds of page.

Its link unfurls with a card of its own: your picture and name, the title, what kind of song it is, its form in your accent, its stem count, plays and times remixed (as the page shows them), and the start of its ode.

## Delete the page

**delete page**, at the bottom, takes the page down. Press it twice to confirm. Your tracks are not touched. Your tag is held for you for 30 days, then anyone can claim it.
