Documentation

Everything you need to get the most out of SONGUIDE, from your first song to the ChordPro format in full detail.

Getting started

Learn how your library, folders, setlists, and search work, and how sync keeps every device up to date.

Adding songs

Get a song into your library every way SONGUIDE offers, from a blank song to ChordPro files, ZIP archives, shared setlists, SongSelect, OpenSong, OnSong, and Charts.

Migrating from OpenSong

Move your whole OpenSong library into SONGUIDE in one import, with songs converted to ChordPro and folders kept.

Migrating from OnSong

Move your whole OnSong library into SONGUIDE in one import, with songs converted to ChordPro on the way in.

Migrating from Charts by WorshipTools

Bring your Charts by WorshipTools songs into SONGUIDE with a fast copy-paste loop, one song at a time.

Organizing your library

Keep your library in order with folders, see how it is sorted, move and delete songs, and find anything with search.

Setlists

Build a set, reorder it by dragging, and play it on stage in exactly that order.

Dividers

Bring the moments of a set that are not songs into your setlist, from the welcome to the break, with notes you can read on stage.

Editing songs

Work in the three editor tabs, keep the Text editor and ChordPro in sync, and see what happens when you paste.

ChordPro format

Read the complete reference for the ChordPro format as SONGUIDE supports it, from chords and metadata to sections, annotations, and transposing.

Import and export

Bring songs in from files and get them out again as ChordPro files, as printable PDFs, as a plain text list, or as a complete setlist for other SONGUIDE users.

Performing

Transpose, set a capo, zoom, and navigate hands free with a foot pedal or a keyboard while you play.

Platforms and layout

See where SONGUIDE runs, what differs per platform, and why the app looks so different on a phone, a tablet, and a big screen.

Sync and offline

See how your library stays in sync across devices, what still works offline, and how the device limit behaves.

Settings

Find your way around every settings screen, from the app language to sync recovery, your account, and the privacy toggles.

Account and subscription

Compare the plans, see how the free song limit works, and manage your subscription and account, from cancelling to deleting.
