Write it once. Play it in any key.

Charts are plain text with chords in brackets, so they're quick to write and easy to fix at rehearsal. Bandleader does the music theory: write in letters or the Nashville Number System and convert either way using the song's key. Show chords over lyrics, or just the changes as a Nashville-style chart in bars.

Every song keeps its key, tempo, time signature and capo. Pick a different key for the night and the chart follows. Bring your existing ChordPro and ChordText files, and chords written above lyrics land on the right syllable.

From running order to the last chorus

Drag songs into order, drop in set breaks and see how long the night runs. When it's time to play, perform mode shows one big, readable chart at a time, with your own key, capo and notes, even with no signal.
