Chord chart editor
Type the structure of a song as text and get a print-ready lead sheet: sections, repeats, lyrics, tab and chord diagrams. Free, without an account.
Setlists and stage viewer
Part of Pro: your songs with a PDF for every part, setlists with breaks and a viewer that turns pages by swipe or pedal. Also offline.
Bands
One shared library for the band: everyone plays the latest setlist from their own part. Every band plan includes Pro.
Faster than dragging in notation software
A chart is structure: bars, sections, repeats. You type that faster than you can place it with a mouse, and the layout takes care of itself.
Type and see it instantly
Source on the left, print preview on the right. Every keystroke redraws the chart in milliseconds, so a misplaced bar shows up right away.
The layout you already know
Four bars to a line, hand-lettered chords, slash chords and a final double bar. Readable at a glance, even on a dark stage.
Boxed sections
Intro, Verse, Bridge, Tag: one marker boxes each section, so the whole band knows where you are when the leader calls it.
Repeats in a few characters
Repeat signs, 1st and 2nd endings, D.C. and D.S. al Coda take a few characters each. A % carries the previous bar.
Two columns on one page
Set columns in the source. A whole set list fits on one sheet, with no page turn in the middle of the bridge.
Print-ready
What you see in the preview is exactly what comes out of the printer or as a PDF. Ready for the book on the music stand or the bass player's tablet.
Learn it in an afternoon
A handful of symbols covers almost any chart. What you type reads back just as clearly: the source stays as tidy as the result.

Print or share
