Transpose chord charts
When you create charts in the Lyrics & Chords editor, they are automatically transposed when you add a key (or capo key) to the song. This article explains how to create transposable charts and how to transpose on a plan.
Tip
You can also quickly transpose chord charts on Music Stand for iOS or Android.
Create transposable charts in the Lyrics & Chords editor
You can create transposable charts in the Lyrics & Chords editor by:
Typing them from scratch.
Copying and pasting them from somewhere else on the internet.
Importing editable chord charts from SongSelect by selecting the ChordPro® (Editable) option when adding files through the SongSelect integration.
Buying editable chord charts from PraiseCharts and importing them through the PraiseCharts integration.
After entering or importing the chart into the editor, a chart is created in every key that's been added to that song. Charts created in the editor will have Chord Chart in [Key] as the file name.
If you selected the Number, Numeral, and/or Lyrics options in the Create PDFs section of the editor, the arrangement section will also include a lyric PDF and number/numeral charts.
Transpose on a plan
When your team members access charts created in the Lyrics & Chords editor, they can change the chord to any key, numbers, or just lyrics.
Select the Plans page from the top navigation in Services.
If you have multiple folders, select the folder that contains the service type you're working with.
Select a plan from the service type you're working with.
Select the Order tab.
Select a song item to open the Edit song sidebar.
Select the Files tab.
Hover over a file and select the ♩music note icon (to the right of the ✏️ edit icon).
Important
If you don't see this icon, the chord chart wasn't created in the Lyrics & Chords editor and cannot be transposed.
Choose a key, or select Numbers or Numerals to download the corresponding chart.
