Rhapsody 8.0.0 (February 7th 2026)

New automation, improved payroll, better Seasons navigation, and smoother contract workflows.

Rhapsody 8.0 brings new automation capabilities, deeper tooling in Rhapsody Payroll, and a smoother day-to-day workflow across Seasons, Contracts, and Projects.

Some features in this release are available on request. If you don’t see them yet, contact your Rhapsody admin or support to enable them.

Autopilot

• Autopilot (available on request): a new automation layer to streamline repetitive project workflows.

Projects

• Project v3 (available on request): you can now run Projects without Pieces.

Payroll

• Payroll presets: create as many presets as you need.

  • Pick a preset when creating a new Payroll document.

• Vendor payments: you can now pay vendors from Rhapsody Payroll.

• Calculation transparency: each musician line now includes a “?” button.

  • Use it to see how the line total was calculated.

Seasons

• New Seasons data grid for faster browsing and editing.

• New bottom navigation bar when you open a Project that belongs to a Season.

Contracts

• If a Payroll exists for a Project, the pay breakdown is now included in {{musicianMission}}.

• Status and role are now included in {{musicianMission}}.

• You now get a visual indicator when a musician has a contract, and when it’s signed.

• Improved contract signing workflow.

Misc

• Smart Select: selecting musicians from the Project dashboard now uses a dedicated button.

  • Smart Select is also available at the Season level.

• New preference (Rhapsody Payroll-enabled accounts): “Contract for onboarded musicians only”.

  • When enabled, you can’t send a contract until the musician is onboarded.

• Faster loads: we migrated the web app from Create React App (CRA) to Vite.
