Not yet! That's a planned feature - chords will sound out when entered and when tapped within the chart.

Amazing - you've got my money! and a feature request to maybe add variations to each of the chords (inversions, arps, etc) when you edit them, and maybe a player/looper to preview the sketched ideas!

Thanks a lot!

You are already able to input inversions, using the Slash Chords feature. Once the sound engine is implemented, being able to hear the specified inversion will come for free.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep them in mind!

Small nitpick:

> For example, the I - IV - VIIm - V7 progression below uses the same motions in A as it would in C, where the chords would be C F Am G7.

Shouldn't that be "I - IV - VIm - V7" instead? (The transposition from A to C looks right, it's just the roman numeral for the 3rd chord in the text that is wrong).

Yes you are right! I'll fix it straight away.

The transposition is correct because I used the app for it ;)

A share button is pretty high on the priority list, as that's what musicians in bands would need the most. As for libraries of charts, there are many other apps that do that very well already! I wanted to focus on fast editing of charts for musicians writing original songs, who are not really served that well by other apps at the moment.

Seems like NFC may be a nice way to share since musicians would most likely be physically close to each other. Congrats on shipping!

I haven't thought about that, thanks! I'll probably have to write my own NFC integration with Godot...

This is exactly what I need. Thanks. Just bought it. Is there a way to indicate major chords with "M" instead of "maj"? I find that easier to read.

Many thanks for your purchase!

Not at the moment, but a "Preferences" menu is in the works. This would be a great addition to that, alongside an option jazz notation and the like.

Very cool! Sharing with my wife, a high school music tech teacher. I could see this being helpful for her students both preparing for shows and learning about composition.

Thanks a lot, definitely! Education would be a great usecase for this, as it is so easy to create charts on the go for students to play or practice.
