Frequently asked questions

How is the page laid out?

A header with the song title and date, fields for key, tempo and capo, a row of blank chord diagrams, then blocks of four line pairs. In each pair a dotted line is for chords and a solid line for lyrics.

What are the small boxes on the left?

Section tags. Write Verse, Chorus, Bridge or Intro in them so the structure of the song is easy to see.

Can I write the melody too?

Yes. Switch the layout to staff and lyrics to get a treble staff with space for chords above and a lyric line below.

Guitar or ukulele chord boxes?

Either. Choose the instrument for the chord boxes, or turn them off for more lyric lines.
