#52Apart from how great this tool looks, I love that the example song is about Drizzt and Cattie-brie. Those two deserve some ballads! :)

#53The editor looks fantastic! Have you considered hosting tabs for sharing? It would be great to see a replacement for UltimateGuitar who despite having the largest collection of pop tabs engage in some extremely scummy business practices
I’m really excited to look into some of the publishing and community-based features that might be possible. I’m not sure I would want to tackle tab hosting on the scale that UG does, but it’s definitely not out of the question.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hahah I was wondering if anyone would enjoy the reference. Thanks for checking it out =}

This is an incredibly important feature to me. It's coming, but I want to be sure to get it right. It will also enable some other really useful features like entire song play-through. Thanks for the feedback!
Yea, I can imagine how it'd be hard to implement. I guess you'd have to tie the lyrics to rhythm, as well, and at that point you're pretty much implementing sheet music features.
Exactly my thoughts! I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad direction to go, I just want to make sure I do it the right way.

I made a small website because I was so annoyed at UG and co... I’ve kind of stopped working on it though (a bit worried about monetising it as it seemed to be a bit complicated industry in terms of intellectual property).

#57Congrats on the launch and on the UX/UI of the editor. There are so many great features and yet it feels simple and not overwhelming at first.

#58Several years ago I tried finding some reasonable software tools for music and was not at all impressed with what I could find. Great that you decided to make a better one!
A long time ago I ran across ABC music notation, typically associated with old time or traditional music. I wonder if there could be an import filter that works with ABC notation?

This. And somewhat discouraged by the seemingly imaginary 44% discount on the pricing page. Has 8.95/mo ever been the price? Is it going to be? Is this just a permanent gimmick? Without any details or explanation it seems disingenuous. I also can't find any info about exporting data for backups or what happens to data if a subscription is paused for a period of time. Since it isn't called out my default assumption is…
This is very helpful feedback, thank you. In a couple places, I mention that the $4.95/mo rate (Launch discount) is for the first 3 months of your subscription before it changes to $8.95/mo. I need to make this more prominent, and I absolutely need to clarify the info on backups, plan-switching, etc. I'm working on a FAQ, but I'll also leave some clarification here: Songcraft Basic is always free, and your existing s…
You really need to clarify the pricing quickly. As it is now, if I signed up for the $4.95 offer and it got changed to $8.95 after three months I’d be pissed.

#60You are the man. This is fantastic. Can't wait to see how this project progresses. Some random suggestions: Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see the ability to add chords outside of the scale. Let's say I want to play an E major chord in an A Minor progression due to a harmonic minor substitution. Is that possible with this tool? It would be cool to be able to add common substitutions or completely random ch…
You can add any chord you want! Just click anywhere on a chord line and enter the chord you like (or click on an existing chord and type to change it). You will also get recommended chords for that location in your song as part of the autocomplete. The theory tools on the right are just meant as an alternative way to add chords / progressions that sound great with your song, plus some goodies like transposition. I re…
Oh great! This is truly excellent work. I love the ability to toggle through the chord voicings as well.
