Thanks  a lot!

This was a "shower time" solution.

I put the post before goint to shower, then while I´m wet I already have the answers!

Will test it when dry :-)

actually coalesce is probably the wrong function and you may need something like

 UPDATE musicians
 SET leadguitarist = case musicianid = xxxx
                  when true then true
                  else false
                  end
WHERE .. whatever your criteria are for identifying the members of the band ...

or something along those lines

like this (works)

        create table musician (leadsinger boolean, id integer primary key)
        insert into musician (leadsinger , id ) values ( 0, 1 )
        insert into musician (leadsinger , id ) values ( 0, 2 )
        insert into musician (leadsinger , id ) values ( 0, 3 )

        update musician set leadsinger = case id = 2 when 1 then 1 else 0 end

(note the use of 0 and 1 as false and true)
