## What is Chord chart editor?

Chord chart is a form of music notation which only specifies harmonies, rhythms, and some structure information(rehearsal marks, repeats etc...), which is used mainly among session musicians (popular, jazz etc...).  Fumenbook is a tool for creating and storing and viewing chord charts.

- You can create chord chart using the "fumen" markup language (https://hbjpn.github.io/fumen/) for chord chart or using GUI. The markup language of "fumen" is very intuitive and easy to write. You can write chord chart much faster than to write with GUI once you get used to the grammar.a

- Scores are saved in the cloud. You can edit and view from either mobile app or web browser clients. Login is needed to save  your scores.

- Mobile application can be used even when the internet is offline or unstable. This is useful when you are in the place where internet connection is not available or poor such as live bar at the basement.

- Basic features like score, setlist searching, character size change, key transposing.

- Set of your scores can be grouped as setlist, which is useful for live performances.

- Rendering is as per "fumen" rendering engine.

### 4/5 — Exactly what I've been looking for.

*2024-08-30, version 1.5.3*

I love this app and use it constantly. You have to create an account to save your charts but it gives you the option to edit on multiple devices. 
I've tried to reach to the developers for a couple of questions but no response at all.

### 1/5 — Can’t export, print or save work, a complete waste of time

*2024-06-07, version 1.5.2*

So, the interface is pretty well designed, but since there is no way to save your work (no save button, no cloud or other storage interface, no nothing) and no way to export of print your work, this app is a completely frustrating waste of time. Even any single chart you create will eventually disappear. The developer is no where to be found, so absolutely don’t waste your time with this complete loser of an app.

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいです。課金で広告を消したい

*2024-04-22, version 1.5.2*

最近のスマホ画面だと気にならなさそうなのですが、旧世代の画面サイズだと広告がきついので、課金で広告が消せると嬉しいです。
いくらなら出す？と言われると難しいところですが…

アプリの内容はちょうどよいです。
・編集している際にスワイプでプレビューに戻ると確認なしで作業内容が消えてしまう
・編集時に保存しないで閉じるときに「保存せずに戻りますがよいですか」的なもうワンクッションがほしい
・コード追加時の縦線タップの判定がだいぶシビア

など気になる点もありましたが、慣れの範囲かなと思います。

### 4/5 — F7 fumenbook

*2024-02-11, version 1.5.2*

Great app for creating simple chord charts for yourself or band mates. Would be nice to be able to show simple melody lines like pick up lines or key passages.

### 5/5 — こうゆうのがほしかった!!

*2024-02-08, version 1.5.2*

色々自分でコード譜をきれいに簡単に作る方法を模索していましたがこれはすばらしいです。必要な情報が過不足なく入れられます。完全してからフォントの大きさを変えられるのもすごくいいです。クラウドに保存までにくれていたれりつくせりって感じです。アップルペンシルでボタンは押せるのですが、実際に書かれたコード等を選択しても枠が出るだけで次のメニューが出ないです。間違えて譜面を捨ててしまったらこわいのでゴミ箱機能がほしいです。このアプリは有料でもいいのでサポートしてほしいと思います。

### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ良い

*2023-12-15, version 1.5.2*

ブラウザ同期もできて、どこでも見やすいコード譜が見れる最高のツール。
入力方法がちょっとクセがあるけど、コツを掴めばスイスイかける。
ブラウザ同期できるからパソコンで打てるのが何より良い。

惜しいポイントが2点
①移調ができない。
②表示形式を度数表示にできない。

この辺りは取ったばっかなので、もしその方法があれば、すみません。

この2点があれば、初心者プレーヤーにも万々歳の最強ツールになると思います。

### 4/5 — Exactly what I've been looking for.

*2023-03-11*

I love this app and use it constantly. I've tried to reach to the developers for a couple of questions but no response at all.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I've been looking for.

*2022-06-16, version 1.4.0*

This is perfect and exactly what I've been looking for.
My only suggestion is to make it support number systems as well.
