A Bluegrass 98 songbook: a chord-chart page beside its cover

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, write your own songs, build a set, and print a real songbook to pass around the circle. Free to use. Printing a finished songbook costs a credit.

Quick start: tap a song to read its chart. ♭/♯ change the key. ✏️ Edit fixes the chords or adds your own words. + New song writes your own. Songbook… prints the book.

+ New song (in the Library): write the words with the chords sitting right above them, build a chord chart, or do both. It saves to your library and prints in your book like any other tune.

Share a song: open a song, tap ⋯, then 🔗 Share this song. The link carries the whole chart and words, so a friend who opens it gets the song added to their own library. 📋 Copy as ChordPro gives you plain text to paste into Discord or a forum. Nothing is stored on a server.

🤝 Shared set: start one from your setlist and send the link. Everyone can add songs all week (with their name on each), and nobody can remove anyone else's. Later, tap “Make it my setlist”, tidy it up, and print.

Printing: Songbook Studio has 10 book styles, page numbers and contents, cover images, your own text pages, compact two-up, a Nashville-numbers edition, and a fold-in-half A5 booklet. 🗂 Gig card prints the one-page setlist. 🌐 Web folio publishes the whole book at a link anyone can read.

Handy: ♭/♯ change key (tap the key to go home). ⛶ Full screen for reading at the jam. 🌙 Night for dim porches.

Keyboard: / search, Enter adds the top match, n/p next or previous song, v cycles the views.

Backup your work: keep a file of everything (setlists, charts, lyrics, settings) with , or bring it back with . Handy with no account, or to move between devices. Signing in also keeps it in the cloud.
