ChordPro Buddy - The Chordpro Song Editor for the Mac

What is it good for?
ChordPro Buddy is a simple, but powerful song editor and viewer. It allows musicians of many kinds to create, edit and view their songs, lyrics and lead sheets. It allows to transpose, change chords, view and change chord shapes and create beautiful formatted printouts or PDF.

How does it work?
CPB uses plain text files with the very simple “chordpro” syntax to store the lyrics and chords. This syntax uses square brackets [ ], to mark chords and curly brackets { }, to mark commands and formatting tags. CPB has short keys for many of them, so you can edit really fast and concentrate on the song, not on the tool, you work with. While you edit lyrics or chords of a song, you can see the results immediately with the unique synchronized split view.

CPB has a layout pane, where you can use sliders and textfields to set the values of sizes, colors and spacings as well, as fonts for the different parts of a song. With the zoom slider you can zoom up and down the whole song in a second.

All usual chord notations
With the new version of CPB you can switch the chord notation between western, latin and german notation. As an example you can have chord C, D, E chords as DO REM MI in latin chord notation.

One click transposing
You can transpose the chords up and down with only one click of your mouse or even a shortcut on the keyboard. The transpose feature works of course also with all different chord notations.

Import from songs from other sources
Now CPB allows you to import Lyrics and chords from other sources. Simply copy and paste songs from word, pages or PDF’s, or get them from the many webpages on the internet. This works fine, as long as the chords of the source are well positioned above the lyrics.

Display chords as symbols or diagrams
With the new version of CPB now you can show chords as diagrams. This is a long awaited function not only for beginners. You can choose either to show chord charts for all chords above the lyrics, or display every used unique chord once at the top of the song. If you click on a chord chart, you can switch the used chord shape and you can mark your favorite chord shapes, to get them sorted, as you need it.
If a chord is missed you can create it in the chord database editor.

Create beautiful printouts and PDF
To get a nice printout you first format your song with the sliders in the layout pane. When all looks well, you click on print and then use the zoomslider in the detailed printpreview, to adjust the pages as you like. From here you also can create PDF versions of your song.

Practicing and Live usage
With CPB you are not limited to printouts and PDF’s. It is also a powerful tool for practicing and live performances. So you can set a playtime for each song and then let CPB scroll the song automatically through the screen. So you can choose a readable zoom level and let CPB do the scrolling for you. You can start/stop/rewind with simple or double hit on the space bar, use a programmable USB footswitch or you can use a MIDI device. There is a simple MIDI learn function in the preferences for that. There is also a fullscreen mode with his own colorset for better performance in dark on stage situations.

Work together, share and synchronize
Because CPB works like every normal file oriented OS-X application, you can open and edit files in a synchronized folder ( e.g. Dropbox, iCloud drive... ). So you can share and synchronize your songs between your Mac and your mobile devices.

Belle mise en page mais cest tout.

Mauvaise importation et création des fichiers textes au format UTF8 gérérés par dautres applications chordpro iphone ou PC: caractères accentués buggés. Ne gère pas non plus la création de cahiers de chants. Ne permet pas dimprimer les accords. Beaucoup plus limité que dautres applications shareware téléchargeable sur Mac. Ajoute des tags propriétaires dans les fichiers suite aux mises en page.Dans sa version actuelle se limite à mettre en forme les chansons en limitant le partage de fichier au monde mac. A besoin dévoluer beaucoup pour arriver au niveau dun Songbook Chordpro sur Iphone.

très décus

je suis très décus par cette application qui ne respecte pas les standards Chordpro en import/export, qui ne permet pas dafficher les diagrammes des accords , et qui parfois ajoute des caractères fantaisistes, de plus laffichage des textes sont parfois tronqués , la mise en page aléatoire, .. et jen passe et des meilleurs je viens de perdre 8 euros . le développement est vraiment pas au niveau de la promesse a éviter a tout prix de mon point de vue bon courage malrè tout aux developeurs car lidée de base est bonne sans aucun doute, seule la réalisation reste très franchement a désirer . il y a til moyen de se faire rembourser ?

Muito bom!

Muito bom aplicativo, tem como configurar o formato do texto separado do formato dos acordes, e tem até como aparecer o grafico dos acordes junto com a música, um plus para quem está começando! Interface fácil e intuitiva! Só não tem ainda como organizar playlists!

Crash

Quero meu dinheiro de volta. Ele dá um erro quando começoa editar os acordes, já esperei diversas atualizações e n˜åo foi resolvido. Não comprem este programa. I WANT MY MONEY BACK, WHERE ARE YOU???

So ein Programm habe ich gesucht

Endlich habe ich ein Programm gefunden, mit dem ich auf ein umfangreiches Liedangebot zugreifen kann. Das Programm ist einfach zu bedienen :) und entspricht voll meinen Erwartungen. Ich bin sehr gespannt auf die nächste Version.

Ich weiss nicht

warum ich immer wieder den selben Fehler mache. Im Appstore Software kaufen? Nie wieder. Bis jetzt war fast alles total verbuggte Anfängerkacke! Das hier ist auch nichts anderes. Vielen Dank, das ich sie für 1,59EUR testen durfte!!!

Richtig gut!

Dieses Programm ist richtig gut. Es kann mehr als man zunächst vermutet. Z.B. die fertigen Layouts als Pdf drucken. Einfacher geht`s nicht um Chord Dateien zu erzeugen. Jetzt noch eine IPad-Version mit Playlist und Autoscroll - wäre super.
