Overview
Ensemble Rolls record only the student attendance at the rehearsals. Staff attendance is marked on the Staff Rolls, as for Tuition enrolments.
*New in 2026!* From version 10.002 onward, we have built an entirely new Ensemble Rolls setup. See Ensemble Rolls Version 10 for guidance.
For version 9, read on.
Ensemble timing is generally fixed for an entire term or more. Even if individual students join and leave, the ensemble itself will generally run on a regular schedule for the whole term. Therefore, it's practical to set up Ensemble Rolls at the start of the term, for the entire term.
Ensemble Rolls display the term and year and also a date for each rehearsal. You enter this information during the setup.
Settings
There are no settings that prevent you from setting up Ensemble Rolls, but the article on Attendance Settings includes tips on enabling or disabling teachers' access to mark the rolls.
Note, however, that if an ensemble has no members, or if you have set a minimum number of members and the ensemble has fewer members than that, a roll will not be created for that ensemble.
Set Up Ensemble Rolls
Go to Home > Office Admin > Roll Marking Ensembles > Set up rolls for term or semester.
They can also be set up from Home > Set Up Files > Ensembles. Select an ensemble to view detail (or select the green + button to create a new ensemble). The More… button has a number of options including Create student roll for THIS ONE ensemble.
*New in 2025!* From v9.260, if you're setting up new ensemble rolls for all ensembles, Music Monitor will stop you if you still have current rolls that have not reached their Archive Date.
Below is a video that shows you the process.
