One song per line, matched against the library. Paste thirty titles, get thirty songs.
Tap a measure to set its chord. Add sections (Verse, Chorus…), bars, and repeats — the grid you build is exactly what prints.
Bars separated by |, two chords in one bar separated by a space (G D). One part per line: Name x2: G|C|G|D. Applying replaces the blocks above.
Paste a ChordPro chart ({title: …}, lyrics with [G] chords inline). You get both: a chart (one bar per chord) and a chords-over-lyrics view. Rough but a good head start; tidy the bars after.
Tap a word to drop a chord above it; tap a chord to change or remove it. Type or paste the words first in “Edit words as text.”
Stanzas separated by a blank line; label a stanza with [Chorus] on its own line. Add chords inline like [G]word. Saved on this device and in your exports.
Preview shows the pages in reading order. The print comes out as A4 landscape sheets ready to fold and staple.

What is this? A living chord book for the bluegrass jam — the tunes passed down ear to ear. Look one up, make the chart your own, add your own songs, build a set, and print a proper songbook to pass around the circle. Free to use; printing a finished songbook costs a credit.

🤝 Shared set: start one from your setlist and send the link, everyone can add songs all week (with their name on them), nobody can remove any. Friday: “Make it my setlist”, tidy, print.

Cover, note and contents stay up front; index and back cover stay at the back. Reorder the middle, or slip in pages of your own.
A page of plain text set in the book's style: the story of the jam, thank-yous, house rules. A blank line starts a new paragraph.
Look up the tunes, build tonight's set, pass it round the circle. When it's sitting right in the pocket, make it real: a proper printed book every picker can hold.
