Frequently asked questions
How do I transpose a chord sheet?
Paste the sheet into the box and press the + or − buttons to shift every chord up or down by one semitone. The tool rewrites the chord line in place while leaving the lyrics untouched.
What is a semitone?
A semitone is the smallest interval between two notes in Western music — the distance from one key on a piano to the very next one. Twelve semitones make a full octave.
Does this work for guitar and ukulele?
Yes. Chords are instrument-agnostic. "Am" means the same A-minor chord whether you play it on guitar, ukulele, or piano — only the fingering changes.
Will my lyrics get shifted out of alignment?
No. The tool preserves the column positions of chords above lyrics. Monospace fonts keep everything aligned.
