Transposition & key locking

Singers change keys. Charts should follow without being retyped — and without losing track of where the song started.

Transposing

  • Transpose any chord chart up or down; all chord symbols and notation follow.
  • Set Original records the song's original key, shown as a reference chip (for example, “B♭ maj · Original C”) so you always know where you are relative to the source.
  • Key lock protects a chart from accidental transposition.

Per-setlist keys

Each setlist can hold its own key for the same song — see Setlists.

Singers' favourite: keep one library chart per song and let each band's setlist carry its own key — nothing to re-copy when a singer changes.

Key state travels with the file

Share a chart to another device — iOS or Android — and it arrives in the same key, with the same Original-key reference.
