PDF Charts & Documents
Attach engraved or scanned charts to a song and read them in the lyric viewer, where you can zoom, auto-scroll, and annotate. Charts work in the iOS and Android apps.
Add a PDF chart
Attach a PDF (or image, or DOCX) to a song as one of its lyric versions. The most reliable way to bring charts in for a whole library is to import them from Dropbox (below).
Import files from Dropbox
Put your charts (and any audio) in one Dropbox folder, then in Band Central open your band, tap Import, and connect Dropbox when prompted. Band Central links the files to your songs. Dropbox is the supported cloud — other services go through the generic file picker and are less reliable.
Reading a chart
A chart opens in the same lyric viewer as your ChordPro lyrics, so you can pinch to zoom, use auto-scroll hands-free (or from a foot pedal), and draw and add notes right on the page. A chart can be one of a song's versions, so the horn player can star the PDF while the guitarist stars the ChordPro chart.
Get your files on every device
Song data syncs automatically, but the actual PDF/audio files download per device. On a second device, open Songs and choose Update Dropbox Files to pull the files down locally. Run the original import on one device only — the others fill in through sync, so importing on several devices is what makes everything look doubled.
On the web
PDF, DOCX, image, and audio attachments work in the iOS and Android apps; the website shows text and ChordPro lyrics but cannot display or play attached files yet.
