    List of songs with short verions.
    Is there a list out there anywhere with a list of all the songs with a short version?

    I think any LRB song has a short version.

    The short version of short songs like A-Punk and Song 2 are just the actual songs, but they still let you do short mode if its in a random setlist.

    It's every LRB song except:
    We Will Rock You
    Song 2
    A-Punk
    Dreaming of You
    Grace
    Ride a White Swan
    Because they're too short.

    Really? There's that many? I thought it'd be maybe 10 songs that had short versions.

    I could have sworn I played Ride A White Swan and it never let me select short mode.

    He's saying that those are the songs that don't have short versions. Everything else in the game does.

    Yea, I understood. That's why I was suprised.

    Most of the short versions end very abruptly with a quick fade at the nearest convenient moment after the second chorus--sometimes right after a guitar solo. Often the song stops right after a string of white notes. It's a little weird, but turns out to be a great way to speed through the final endless setlist! :)

    I was a little bit disappointed with this... when I first heard about the feature, I figured it could go one of two ways:
    A) LRB songs only, custom edited to end in a natural way
    B) All LRB and Imported songs, shortened formulaically using a set number of "sections" (using the same section divisions as practice mode) and ending with an abrupt fadeout

    Seems like we mostly got the worst of both worlds here, although a small handful of the songs do have nicely-edited endings... still seems like they could have coded it to support DLC shortening as well.
