Custom Chord Diagrams
Build your own chord diagrams visually — no ChordPro diagram syntax to learn.
Design fretboard shapes for guitar and ukulele or piano diagrams in a dedicated editor. Jazz guitarists especially benefit: altered voicings and personal shapes without wrestling with ChordPro’s diagram markup — a headache other songbook apps still leave to you.
Custom chords survive transpose, show in the side chord chart, and print in PDF. Reuse them across your whole library.
- Visual diagram builder
- Jazz & custom voicings
- No diagram-syntax grind
- Transpose-safe library reuse
