Song arrangements have the option to create and design custom chord charts. These chord charts automatically appear on every key in the arrangement and are automatically transposed as appropriate.

Creating A Chord Chart

To create a chord chart, go to "Service Planning" in the left-hand navigation menu, select the "Songs" tab, choose the desired song, go to the "Arrangements" tab, click on the "Edit Chord/Lyrics Chart" button.

This will open an editor where chords and lyrics can be entered on the left-hand side while viewing a preview of the resulting PDF on the right. The Options button in the upper right will allow the configuration settings such as the font, text size, and chord color.
​

Note

Using the chord chart allows for any text and allows for easy transposition from one key to another. In other words, a PDF is a static document that cannot change once uploaded whereas chord charts are more dynamic.
