{comment_box: Fingerpick 6/8}What Is ChordPro?
ChordPro is a lightweight, human-readable text format where guitar chords sit inside square brackets (like [Am] or [G/B]) right before the syllable where the chord changes, and song structure is marked with curly-brace directives like {title: ...} and {start_of_chorus}. Because chords are anchored to syllables instead of spaces, your sheet can be reflowed into 2 columns, resized, or transposed to any key without a single chord ever slipping out of place.
Built-In ChordPro Editing & Engraving Tools
Everything you need to author, clean, and print spec-compliant ChordPro v6 songs.
Automatic 2-Line Tab to ChordPro Cleaner
Don't waste 20 minutes typing brackets by hand. Paste any two-line chord tab from the web and let our cleaner convert it into structured ChordPro directives in one click.
Custom Voicings, Tabs & Strumming Grids
Use visual popovers or raw directives ({define:}, {start_of_tab}, {strum:}) to engrave custom guitar voicings, beat-counted riffs, and rhythm slash bars.
1-Page Auto-Fit & Multi-Column Reflow
Combine manual {column_break} tags with our 1-page printable chord sheet maker so every song in your binder fits on a single page.
Portable .cho Files & Google Drive Sync
Your songs are never trapped. Download standard .cho files in Guest Mode, or connect Google Drive to organize a complete printable guitar songbook.
