Add chords faster with the chord toolbar

While you're typing a section, a row of chords sits above the keyboard: the chords that belong to the song's key. Tap one and it lands where your cursor is.

Who can do this: Owner, Admin, Editor. What the roles mean Online only: You need internet for this. Why buttons disappear offline

Steps​

  1. Open the song, tap the gear icon at the top right, then tap Edit Song.
  2. Go to the Content tab and tap into a section's box.
  1. Put the cursor before the word the chord falls on.
  2. Tap a chord. It goes in wrapped in square brackets.
  3. Drag the row sideways for more shapes: sevenths, sus and slash chords.
  1. Tap Save.

Good to know​

  • The plain chords of the key come first, then the variations on each of them.
  • The row follows the key on the Details tab. Change the key there and the chords change with it.
  • On a large screen the row floats near the bottom of the editor instead of above the keyboard.
  • Typing a chord by hand still works. Anything in square brackets is a chord.
