Chords that follow the key you're actually in
The vocalist cannot reach it, so you drop it a tone. That decision usually means someone re-writing a chord sheet in the car park. Here it is two button presses, and every screen the band is reading follows.
Chords inside the lyrics
Written inline where they belong — [Am], [C/E], [Fmaj7] — not on a separate sheet.
Paste a chord sheet
Chords typed on the line above the words are detected and snapped to the right syllable.
Transposed on the stage screen
The band reads the new chords, with the key change shown in the header.
Change key from the remote
The phone can send a transpose, so the call can come from the stage.
Chords belong with the words
A song stores its chords inline with the lyrics, in the bracket style musicians already write in. That keeps each chord attached to the exact syllable it lands on, so nothing drifts when the text wraps to a different width on a different screen.
- Inline chord brackets: [Am], [G], [C/E], [Fmaj7]
- Section headers stay section headers, not chords
- Extensions, sus, add, augmented and diminished all understood
- The chord stays attached to its syllable at any screen width
Paste it the way you found it
Chord sheets in the wild are written with the chords on a line above the words, spaced out with the right number of characters. Paste one in and the aligner reads those columns, works out which word each chord sits over, and merges the two lines into a single chorded lyric.
- Detects chord-line-above-lyric-line pairs automatically
- Snaps each chord to the nearest word start beneath it
- Recognises slash chords, sus2/sus4, add and altered chords
- Understands ♯ and ♭ as well as # and b
A semitone at a time, and everything follows
Transposition is applied to what is displayed rather than by rewriting the song, so the stored chart keeps its original spelling and you can always get back to it. Step up or down, or reset to the original in one click.
- Slash chords transpose on both sides — G/B becomes A/C♯
- Suffixes are preserved, so Am7 stays a minor seventh
- Flat keys spell flats and sharp keys spell sharps
- The header shows the move, from the original key to the new one
Chords and transposition work on every plan. The stage screen the band reads them from is a Basic capability — see pricing for the full split.
About this feature
Inline with the lyrics in bracket form — [Am], [G], [C/E], [Fmaj7] — so each chord stays attached to the syllable it belongs to rather than to a character position on a separate line.
