How to reverse engineer my Bard's spells....

Questions

one of my players is running a Bard, using the 2024 rules, and up leveled to 5th level this week.

she indicates that she wasn't able to select the full nine prepared spells her character should get but is being limited to 8.

however, since other elements of her character give her spells (whether origins, or magic items, or subclass etc) when I look at her character sheet in DNDB, I cannot really confirm or deny whether she is missing a prepared spell budget that she should get. is there a way to see where each prepared spell came from?
