- When adding charts to a notebook, a new “Select All Charts” button makes it easier to create an exportable notebook containing all your charts. - A notebook exported in 1Chart Notebook format (.1nb) now retains custom-sort info. - Fixed a bug that could momentarily interfere with display of the header key after exiting Performance Mode.

User reviews

My preferred charting app, but

This is the best Nashville number-style charting app I’ve found so far, but I recently found that sometimes the chords are incorrect when I switch a chart from numbers to letters. For example, the 6m in the key of A-flat minor is E-minor/F-flat minor, but the app thinks it is F-minor even when I correctly set the key. If I hand my chart to someone who doesn’t read numbers, this could be an issue onstage. I’d love to see this fixed, but otherwise I’m enjoying the app.

Typing keyboard on iPad

Hello, love the app. I used to use your old Nashville Fonts in the day. Question, how do I get the app to see my attached keyboard? When I try to type the numbers, nothing happens. Thanks

I love this app…….BUT (please listen developers)

This app has cut my preparation time down by 60-80 percent for fill in gigs. ONE ISSUE, I want to share my entire charts on both of my iPads (one being a backup) but this is not possible. Unless you want to do it 1 at a time.

This would make the app perfect

Great app! But…

I’ve found this app to be very useful when it comes to making and keeping charts. The only issue I have is that there’s no hand-written annotation support. I’m a drummer, and having my charts annotated is a must when I play with people. I really would like to make my charts, annotate them, and read them while playing, all within the same app. It’s very unfortunate that my only options are either to print them out and annotate the paper, or export them and annotate the PDFs. It would be so useful to do everything all together. Other than that, this app has served me very well!

Good but page sizing needs work

Quick and easy to make charts but there is only 3 text sizes and the larger fonts leave a lot of blank space and a force unnecessary page breaks.

FAQ

What is the Nashville Number System in 1Chart?

The Nashville Number System is a shorthand for charting music where chords are identified by numbers corresponding to scale degrees, rather than letters. 1Chart fully supports this system, offering its concise charting advantages.

Can I use letter chords in 1Chart?

Yes, 1Chart offers the flexibility to switch to letter-format chords (e.g., 'Am F C') if you prefer them over number chords. This allows users to benefit from the Number System's conciseness without needing to read numbers.

How does 1Chart help with changing keys?

If you have a chart using letter chords, 1Chart makes it easy to change keys. Simply select a new key, and your letter-format chart will automatically update to reflect the new key.
