Hi
I'm looking for a software that allows to write simple chords structures, and to transpose them afterward if needed.

The kind of chord structure is like this, very simple:




I've been searching, but all I find are more complex programs that include fingering and a lot of things I dont need.

 

A lead sheet/software for chords only... I don't know of a specific one like your example. Have you tried looking for an iOS or Android app? Or even Linux. Or an online app like this one...

Have you checked out Scaler 2?

ChordPulse can save to text, but it only records the chord names. I use it more as a prototyping tool, and I always save the chord and midi file.

I am quite happy with power music.

 

I know that Zplane Decoda can export chords in plain text or ChordPro format.
I heard of an app called Chordie, but I dont' know details about it.

EDIT: for sure Decoda can transpose songs.

 

Something like this... ?

This tool is great.

 

Thank you for the advice, but unless I missed something, ChordPulse can only work on a maximum of 16 bars.

This one seems promising, thank you.
Is it possible to transpose the charts once done?

 

I've used it, but never tried to do this with it. I'll try , thank you.

 

maybe try captain plugins, very good

 

Can you transpose Chord charts with it afterwards?

 

Interesting, but no "extended trial" ...

 

You're welcome. Sorry, no idea, I haven't used it myself.

 

Humm , thanks, but I dont see chord charts in their website. Can it do it?

 

Yes you can:



Transpose chord sheets, add capo chords

You can instantly transpose a chord sheet, either by selecting a key from a drop down list or in full screen performance mode by tapping + or - to transpose up or down. Select your capo key and the chords are displayed in brackets. It even tells you what fret to use.

It has 36 individual pages that you can use for the different sections, and then you can rename them later if you want to. It's a bit clunky, but it's useful for auditioning different chord variations, and then you can export the MIDI into a DAW for use as a guide track.

Thank you.
On the image, I see that some line have 3 chords, others have 4 chords. Is it possible to force the program to keep a number of bars per line, and to keep a visual spacing related to their timing?
