The chart, bar by bar
Click a bar to play the song from there. The pencil corrects a bar’s chords. With “Loop” on, Shift-click selects several bars.
Detection is automatic. It recognizes major, minor, 7, maj7 and m7 chords, in 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 or 12/8: very reliable on simple songs (guitar, pop, folk), less so on busy, heavily produced tracks or extended chords (9ths, sus, diminished). Always check by ear, and fix with the pencil.
