What you can do
- Play along — the chart follows the song. Click a measure to jump there.
- Library — reopen past songs, search, sort, star favorites, and edit title, artist, and tags.
- Song key · Meter · BPM — fix the analysis key or tempo; the chart and playback update automatically.
- 7th chords — turn on m7, maj7, and 7ths when the song has them; otherwise stay on easy triads.
- Fix a chord — double-click a name (for example Bbm7 → Bbm). It stays saved.
- Fingering — diagrams on the chart; Now playing shows three large grips above Play.
- Transpose & capo — shift for your voice or clamp a fret without re-analyzing the song.
- Lyrics (optional) — generate synced lyrics and edit lines in the chart.
- PDF — download the chart as you see it on screen.
- Private — files never leave this PC.
How it works
- Download the Mac DMG or Windows zip. A how-to guide is in the same folder.
- Open Chord Chart and enter your checkout email. This computer uses one registered PC slot. For a laptop and a desktop, buy an Extra PC license.
- Drop a song. Play, jump, edit, and save a PDF. Nothing is uploaded.
For clearer charts
Clean studio recordings work best. Live shows, heavy effects, and muddy mixes are harder to hear—so key, meter, and chords can drift. Prefer a clear studio track (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or similar). Analysis stays on your computer.
