Song Settings

Make songs work for you. Click the gear icon when viewing any song to customize how it displays.

What You Can Change

Transpose to a Different Key

Play the song in whatever key works for you:

1. Click the gear icon (song settings)
2. Select your preferred key from the dropdown
3. All the chords transpose automatically
4. The original key shows below so you remember

Good to know: Your key choice is saved to your device. So your guitarist can view in G while your pianist sees the same song in C.

Set a Capo

If you're using a capo:

1. Open song settings
2. Choose your capo position (1-9)
3. Chords adjust to show what you actually finger

Heads up: If you transpose AND use a capo, Song7 does the math for you and shows the right chords.

Text Size

Make it bigger or smaller:

• Use the slider or +/- buttons
• Perfect for reading across the room
• Or fitting more on a small screen

Show or Hide Chords

Sometimes you just want lyrics:

• Toggle chords on/off
• Great for vocalists who don't need chord charts
• Musicians can turn them back on anytime

Layout: Columns

Got a wide screen or want to see more at once?

• Switch from 1 column to 2 or 3 columns
• Less scrolling during performance
• Works great on tablets in landscape mode

Chord Diagrams

Need to see how to finger a chord?

• Turn on chord diagrams
• Common chord shapes appear above the song
• Handy when learning or if you forgot one

Your Settings Stick Around

Song7 remembers your settings on your device. Next time you open the song, it looks the same way.

Reset Anytime

Made too many changes? Hit the Reset button and everything goes back to the original.

Why This Matters

In a band? Everyone can customize their view:

• Guitarists set their capo
• Keyboard players transpose to their preferred key
• Vocalists hide chords for clean lyrics
• Everyone sees the same song, their way

During performance? All your settings are right there - no fumbling with paper charts or remembering what key you decided on.

Quick Tips

For guitarists: Set your capo first, then transpose if needed. Song7 handles both.

For set leaders: Remember, when you transpose a song in a set, that's just for you. Everyone else still sees their own preferred keys.

Learning a song? Turn on chord diagrams while you're getting familiar, then turn them off once you've got it.
