Frequently Asked Questions
Type your lyrics into the editor and put each chord in square brackets directly before the syllable it falls on — for example, [G]Twinkle [C]little [G]star. The live preview stacks the chords above the words. Add section labels like {section: Chorus}, then save the sheet in your browser or export it as a TXT or ChordPro file.
ChordPro is the standard plain-text format for lyrics with chords. Chords go in square brackets inline with the lyrics ([C], [Am7], [D/F#]) and song information goes in curly-brace directives like {title: …}, {artist: …}, and {section: …}. The Chord Sheet Maker writes and reads this format, so sheets you export can be opened in other ChordPro apps and the files you import are placed straight into the editor.
Yes. Use the Transpose up/down buttons to shift every chord in the sheet by a semitone at a time — the brackets are rewritten in place, so the editor and preview always match. A net-shift readout shows how far you've moved from where you started, and the Sharps/Flats toggle controls how transposed chords are spelled (e.g. F# vs Gb). Slash chords transpose both the chord and the bass note.
Yes. The chord sheet maker saves your sheets in your browser using local storage — no account or sign-up — and your current work auto-saves as a draft so a refresh won't lose it. Because sheets are stored only in this browser, clearing your browser data will delete them. The workaround is to export each sheet as a ChordPro file, then use the Import button to bring that file back — this restores the exact sheet after clearing your browser or on another device.
Export as a plain-text TXT file with the chords laid out on the line above the lyrics (the format that pastes into any forum, email, or document and prints cleanly), or as a ChordPro file (.cho) that keeps the inline bracket notation and re-imports into the editor. There's also a print preview you can print or save as a PDF.
The Guitar Tab Maker writes tablature — fret numbers on a 6-string grid for riffs, licks, and melodies. The Chord Sheet Maker writes lyrics with chord names above the words, the format used for singing and strumming along to a song. Use the tab maker for note-by-note parts and the chord sheet maker for songs with lyrics.
