Getting clean chord charts: my workflow

Sharing my process for anyone struggling with messy chord charts: 1. Write the chords in ChordPro format (plain text, super portable) 2. Import into MakeMySongBook 3. Tweak the font size so it's readable at arm's length on a music stand 4. Print double-sided to save paper The ChordPro import saves so much time compared to formatting in a word processor.

    This is exactly what I needed. I've been manually placing chords in Google Docs and it takes forever. Going to try ChordPro this weekend.

    ChordPro is a game changer for session musicians. I have 200+ tunes in .chopro files. Being able to import them all at once would be amazing.
