Your songs as a tidy chord-chart book. Print a stack for your next jam or workshop, or sell them at the merch table at your gig.
What is this? A living chord book for the bluegrass jam, the tunes passed down ear to ear. Look one up, make the chart your own, write your own songs, build a set, and print a real songbook to pass around the circle. Free to use. Printing a finished songbook costs a credit.
Quick start: tap a song to read its chart. ♭/♯ change the key, and capo shows where to clamp so you can play the easy shapes. Tap ⋯ then ✏️ Edit song to fix chords or words. ＋ New song writes your own. 📖 Songbook prints the book.
＋ New song (in the Library): write the words with the chords sitting right above them, build a chord chart, or do both. It saves to your library, shows under ✎ Mine next to search, and prints in your book like any other tune.
Your edits are yours: changing a library song saves to this device only, nobody else's copy changes. ⧉ Save as copy keeps as many named versions as you like. Deleting your copy brings the library chart right back.
Setlists save themselves: every change is kept automatically. A set with no name files itself under today's date; give it a name and it is kept forever. 📂 Load brings any of them back.
📡 Go LIVE (the big one): tap 📡 LIVE on the Setlist bar and send the link or QR. The whole jam adds songs all week, each with their name on it, and songs you wrote yourself travel along with their full chart. The lamp glows red while the set is live; tap it again for the invite or to go offline. When the picking is done: “Make it my setlist”, tidy up, print.
Share a song: open a song, tap ⋯, then 🔗 Share this song. The link carries the whole chart and words, so a friend who opens it gets the song added to their own library. 📋 Copy as ChordPro gives you plain text to paste into Discord or a forum. Nothing is stored on a server.
Printing: Songbook Studio has 10 book styles, page numbers and contents, cover images, your own text pages, compact two-up, a Nashville-numbers edition, and a fold-in-half A5 booklet. 🗂 Gig card prints the one-page setlist. 🌐 Web folio publishes the whole book at a link anyone can read.
Handy: ♭/♯ change key (tap the key to go home). 123 flips the chords to Nashville numbers, on the song and in ⛶ full screen. ⛶ Full screen for reading at the jam (tap the screen edges for next and previous). 🌙 Night for dim porches.

is a shared set. Everyone with the link builds it together.
Cover, note and contents stay up front; index and back cover stay at the back. Reorder the middle, or slip in pages of your own.
A page of plain text set in the book's style: the story of the jam, thank-yous, house rules. A blank line starts a new paragraph.

Look up the tunes, build tonight's set, pass it round the circle. When it's sitting right in the pocket, make it real: a proper printed book every picker can hold.
