Chord Chart Builder · Lyricsheets Pro
Build the chart faster.
Make the arrangement yours.
Drag and drop chords into place. Add or delete chords, duplicate sections, and reuse material with copy and paste. Spend less time entering the same changes and more time shaping the arrangement.
01 / Build the arrangement
Place the chords. Reuse the work.
Choose a section, instrument, and meter, then drag and drop chords into place. Add a chord, delete a change you no longer need, and refine the progression as you work.
When the arrangement repeats, duplicate a section or four-bar line, then edit only what changes. Copy and paste lets you reuse material throughout the chart without entering it again. Choose compact or detailed editing and adjust the measures per row to suit the arrangement.
02 / Read the whole chart
See the song's structure.
Preview the arrangement with the editing controls out of the way. Section labels, chord changes, repeat counts, and navigation marks make the form visible from intro to outro.
The finished chart shown here brings several verses, bridges, a key change, and an outro into one view, with short notes for the players at each section.
The details that keep players together
Mark the repeats.
Remember the ending.
Chart Builder includes start and end repeats, repeat counts, first and second endings, and navigation marks such as segno, coda, D.S. al Coda, and Fine. Put those decisions in the chart so players can follow the arrangement you intend.

Choose the right tools for your music.
Which edition includes Chart Builder?
