Amazing but…
Please add ability to delete folders because it’s driving me crazy. It only deletes songs in the folder.

What's New in SongScribe
2.1
August 10, 2026
Chords got a rebuild in 2.1. They now have their own tab to write lyrics in one, place chords in the other. Capo support works everywhere: every diagram moves up the neck, shows where the capo sits, and names the chord you're really hearing. The picker adds 6ths, minor 6ths, half-diminished, 11ths and 13ths, remembers the fingering you picked, and mirrors for left-handed players. Behind that, a long list of corrections - fixed fingerings, accurate playback, and chord detection that now recognizes inversions like C/E. Improved the auto-scroll speed control in Performance Mode. Recording warns you before a take if the metronome or a backing track might bleed into your mic. Missing songs after upgrading from an older version? Settings > "Re-import from Previous Version".
