Formatting & Display

Make your charts read exactly how you want — fonts, colors, a key/tempo header, and a one-section-per-screen mode for performing from large text.

The lyric-view three-dot menu in Band Central, where Display, Format Lyrics, and other tools liveFormatting, text size, chord diagrams, and transpose all live under the lyric-view menu (Display).

Fonts, colors, and the look of your lyrics

Open a lyric, tap the three-dot menu, and choose Format Lyrics. You can style each part of the lyric separately:
  • Chords and lyric text
  • Section headers (Verse, Chorus, Bridge…)
  • Title, subtitle, and comments
  • Highlights, tab blocks, and the key/tempo line
For each part you can set the font, size, bold / italic / underline, text color, and background color. So you can make chords big and blue, dim the section headers, and give the chorus a subtle background band. Your formatting syncs across your devices and shows on the website too.

Share one look, or keep it personal

When you save Format Lyrics, you choose where it applies:
  • This lyric only — just this one chart.
  • My default — every lyric you open, just for you.
  • Band default — the starting look for everyone in the band.
Personal formatting always wins over the band default, so a guitarist can make chords big and bold for themselves without changing what the singer sees.

Show the key and tempo

The song's key and tempo can show in the top corner of the lyric (for example "Key A" and "120 bpm"). Each line appears only if that value is set and its toggle is on, and the text adapts to light and dark mode. You can restyle it like any other lyric part.

One section per screen

Turn on Page Sections (Section View) and instead of one long scroll, each verse, chorus, or section fills the screen; you flip through them by swiping or with a foot pedal. A clean way to perform from large, readable text without scrolling.

Dark mode

Band Central follows your device's light or dark appearance, and the lyric view, chord colors, and key/tempo header all adapt so they stay readable on a dark stage or in bright sun.
