No Screen Rotate function available?

Seems like very useful app except for the fact that there there doesn’t appear to be any screen rotate function available. Nothing happens when I flip my ipad and there is no option in settings. I wish I knew this before buying it. It would be nice to flip the screen to portrait mode; especially when writing a chart.

Hi JDerbz, thanks for taking the time to write a review. The rotation is locked to stay in portrait mode to make sure to have a global view of the page while seeing all the options. Viewing everything in landscape would leave little to no space for staves to be shown, especially on smaller devices. Don’t hesitate to reach out (from the settings menu/information) if you have any concerns. Thanks, Dave B.

Exactly what I needed

I’m a touring musician and, for making quick and dirty chord charts on the road, I’ve always use a sheet music template within ForScore and annotated on top of that. It gets the job done but never looks very good.
I typically just travel with my iPad these days, which is great but Notation is the one thing I truly need my laptop for. This eliminates 40% of my laptop notation needs. If I need to, I can still use ForScore and hand write notation in my chord chart but this will still look SO much cleaner.
I’m a bassist, so I write a ton of chord charts with specific lines notated here and there for one section or another but, most of my charts are chord charts with forms and a sample bass line notated.
This is PERFECT. Incredibly intuitive, handle codas, endings, rhythm markers, etc…. Nailed it guys!

Thanks a lot EEssix!

You CANNOT write a lead sheet with this app

Despite what it says in the title, this app does not allow you to create a lead sheet. A lead sheet has chords & melody, and this will only allow chords and rhythm notation, not melody lines, even though there is a staff. Might be useful if you’re strumming an acoustic guitar but not really for anyone else. And I don’t know many folkie singer songwriters that are out here strumming maj7#11 chords…

So cute but a few little things

This is GREAT, I wish is also included a few other things like audio playback, ability to display key signature and also an ability to easily write in melody+ lyrics easily! Glad to have this

Great!!

This app is so handy. I use it all the time to quickly create charts for compositions, and for songs my band is learning. It’s really simple to use and one can get out a chart in a matter of minutes. I export it to forScore, add any additional touch ups, and email out the pdf. Easy peasy. Thank you, Mr. Bernier

Fantastic app!

This is an awesome app. I’ve been dreaming of something like this! Much quicker than inputting changes in Band in a Box or irealpro. Incredibly intuitive! Still waiting on a major update.

Easy to use but…

Easy to use, good interface but we can’t select chords like A#m, just A# or Am. It’s important because we can know how improvise when we see the chord. Can you add something to fix that?, thanks.

Hello Karinaquin, thanks for leaving a review! To combine sharp or flat with a minor chord, simply drag your finger in the corner of the chord button (where both symbol sections overlap), like displayed here : https://www.chordsheet-maker.com (You’ll have to scroll a bit, under « Quick chord entry »). Don’t hesitate to use the contact form if you have any questions, I usually reply within a day or two :) Dave B.
