Pro Musician ToolkitWrite chord charts bar by bar
Chord charts in Pro Musician Toolkit are written bar by bar, the way a band reads them. Each chart carries its key, tempo, time signature and length at the top.
Write it
Press + to create a chart, then press the pencil to write some bars. Type a chord, and the keyboard offers the chord symbols you need, such as G7sus4.
Repeats, lyrics and simile bars
- Mark where a repeat goes back to, and how many times it is played.
- Add a lyric cue under a bar.
- Use the simile marks: the bar before, again, or the two bars before, again.
- Label sections such as the bridge.
Transpose the whole chart
Press -1 or +1 to move the whole chart a semitone at a time, for a different singer or a capo.
Questions
Can I transpose a chord chart?
Yes. The -1 and +1 buttons move every chord in the chart by a semitone.
Where are the charts kept?
In the Library, on the Chord Charts tab next to your sheet music.
