The Chord Layout displays synced chords above the lyrics while the song plays — so you can learn any song’s harmony in real time. Chord Layout overview

​
What You Can Do

With the Chord Layout, you can:
  • Generate synced chords from your song
  • View chords in Inline or Grid mode

​
Generate Chords

Generation time depends on song length and queue load.

​
Transpose and Capo

  • Transpose shifts chord shapes up or down semitones
  • Capo applies capo position for guitar-oriented practice
Use both controls to find the easiest playable version of a song.

​
Suggested Practice Routine

  1. Run through the full song once to identify hard sections
  2. Repeat only those sections with slower playback
  3. Try 2-3 transpose values and pick your best key
  4. Rehearse from start to finish without stopping
This keeps sessions focused and fun while improving retention.

​
Tips

  • Start with a simpler notation variant if chords feel too dense
  • Use Grid mode for harmonic analysis and chart-style practice
  • Use Inline mode when you want chord + lyric phrasing together
  • Revisit generated chords after changing arrangement settings
