Feature Tips & Tricks

Did You Know?

Synchronized Metronome: When multiple team members view the same song, the metronome can sync across all devices. Start it on one device, and everyone stays in perfect time!

Device-Specific Settings: Song settings (key, text size, layout) are saved per device. Your guitarist can view in G while your pianist sees it in C.

Chord Diagrams: Enable chord diagrams to see fingering positions above your song. Great for learning new songs or quick reference.

Column Layout: On larger screens, use 2 or 3 column layout to see more of the song at once and reduce scrolling.

Favorite Songs: Star your most-used songs for quick access when creating set lists.
