Why I built this

I made the tool I wanted for my own songbook.

For years I formatted my charts by hand — and every song came out a little different. I just wanted them to match: the same clean, readable look across my whole repertoire, without redoing the formatting every time. So I built GigCharts to do exactly that — paste a song, and it becomes a chart that fits the rest of your book.

How it works

Three steps, no fiddling.

  1. Pasting a song into the editor, with a live chart preview.

    Paste or type.

    Chords-above-lyrics or inline [G] style — it understands both.

  2. The settings drawer: auto-fit, transpose, fonts and page size.

    Arrange.

    Transpose, set the capo, pick a layout. It handles page turns so you never split a line that matters.

  3. The finished chart, ready to export as a print-perfect PDF.

    Export.

    A print-perfect PDF, sized for paper or your tablet app.

Features

Everything a clean chart needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

  • One unified look

    Every chart in your book belongs together — the same calm, professional typesetting across your whole repertoire.

  • Transpose, instantly

    Move any song to any key in a tap. Free for everyone — it's table stakes, not a paywall.

  • Capo shapes

    Set a capo and see the shapes to play, so the whole band fingers the same chords.

  • Concert chords

    Flip to concert pitch so transposing instruments read the right notes.

  • Understands ChordPro

    Import and export ChordPro, plus chords-above-lyrics and inline [G] styles.

  • Page-turn aware

    Smart pagination never splits a phrase across a page break where it matters.

  • Print or tablet

    Export sized for A4, Letter, iPad and more — ready for the stand or the screen.

  • Sections, cues & road-map

    Mark verses and choruses, drop performance cues, and map the whole arrangement at a glance.

  • Speaks your language

    A multilingual interface, so you build charts in the language you actually play in.

  • Custom colour palettes Pro

    Recolour your charts and build your own palettes, beyond the curated factory sets.

  • Live cloud sync Pro

    Your whole library, backed up and synced across every device you play on.

  • Songbooks & booklets Pro

    Bind your songs into one PDF with a cover, contents page and consistent layout.

Who it's for

Built for people who play from a book.

  • Gigging bands

    One clean book everyone can read — no more three handwriting styles on one stand.

  • Worship teams

    Large-print, consistent charts that are easy on stage and easy to share with the team.

  • Music teachers

    Handouts that look the part — clear, uniform, and ready to photocopy.

  • Folk & traditional players

    Multilingual section labels and clean type for songs from anywhere.

Create here, perform there

It plays nicely with the apps you already use.

GigCharts makes the chart; your tablet app turns the pages. Export a clean PDF and load it into MobileSheets or b.beat — or just print it and turn pages by hand or with a page-turner pedal.

Plain compatibility, not partnership: those are other companies' apps, and GigCharts isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them.

About

Made by one person.

I'm Atti — born in Transylvania, working full-time at Stanford, playing in a Bay-Area band. I started building this in Delphi over twenty years ago and have been rewriting it ever since, because I could never make charts that looked the way I wanted.

This is the version that finally works. It's made with care by one person, and built to keep your songs safe and yours.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Is my stuff private?

Yes. Your songs are yours. Free songs stay on your device; Pro backs them up to your private library. Nothing is public, nothing is searchable by strangers.

Does it work offline?

Yes — once loaded it runs without a connection, and exports PDFs offline too.

What about copyright?

You bring your own songs; GigCharts is a tool, like a word processor. There's no public library of lyrics here.

Will it work with my tablet app?

It exports standard PDFs that open in MobileSheets, b.beat, or any PDF reader.

What does it cost?

There's a genuinely useful free version. Pro is a small yearly subscription.

Give your whole book one calm, professional look.
