## What is BarberChords?

BarberChords helps you to find the best chords and voicing for your Barbershop arrangement!

You can hear how a chord sounds in different voicing by just tapping the note symbols. BarberChords will inform you if any chord intervals are left out. Select "Free" mode (instead of "Strict") to get a wider selection of notes.

When one chord is set up, by selecting the next melody note, BarberChord will suggest a suitable chord that includes that melody note.

When you are happy with a chord, tap "Add to saved" to add it to your "song". Saved chords can be modified and the order can be changed.

Have fun with BarberChords!

### 1/5 — Not very viable

*2017-08-18, version 1.0.1*

The only chords it ever really suggests are 7ths, and that's not very reliable.
