## What is Cardinal Music?

The chart you find is never the chart you play. Cover bands transpose for the singer, cut a verse, rewrite the ending. Cardinal is where your band keeps the version you actually perform.

BRING YOUR CHARTS IN
Paste chords over lyrics, ChordPro, or bar-line notation — Cardinal reads all three. Import a whole iReal Pro playlist from a single link. Or photograph a page from your gig folder and have the chords read off it.

MAKE IT YOURS
Transpose a song into the singer's key in one tap. Set a capo and read the shapes under your fingers, without changing what anyone else sees. Edit anything — it's your arrangement, not a reference page.

SHARE IT WITH THE BAND
Invite your band by email. Everyone reads the same arrangement: your cuts, your key, your ending.

BUILT FOR THE STAGE
Full screen, screen stays awake, swipe between songs. A red night-vision scheme for dark stages, and text you can size to read at arm's length. Everything works offline — your setlist is there whether or not the venue has signal.

FREE
Unlimited songs, setlists and bands. The full stage view. Every import except photos.

CARDINAL PRO — $4.99/month
Photo import beyond your first three, and PDF attachments.
