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!
