From idea to performance
Keep the musical journey in one place.
A songwriting tool should get out of the way while every useful decision stays attached to the song.
- 01
Write
Type lyrics naturally, keep song details in sync and place chords exactly where you hear them.
- 02
Arrange
Build sections, normal running orders, chord rhythm, annotations and instrument ideas.
- 03
Present
Render clear musician-friendly sheets with chords aligned above lyrics and layouts fitted to paper.
- 04
Perform
Organise libraries, create setlists, choose performance keys and take a clean running order on stage.
A serious toolkit with a simple surface
Everything around the song stays connected.
Charts that read like charts
Chords sit above the right words without collisions. Choose columns, wrapping and type size, then fit the result to the page.
Rhythm and notation
Capture chord rhythm, drum patterns, melody and instrument parts with adjustable musical grids and playback.
Libraries and running orders
Categorise songs, filter the library and preserve the expected order of verses, choruses, bridges and repeats.
Stage-ready setlists
Drag songs and dividers into a show, spot omissions or repeats, adjust performance keys and print a bold, readable running order.
Thoughtful collaboration
Share selected material with authorised group members while ownership, permissions and licensing context remain visible.
Copyright-aware by design
Record ownership, public-domain status, direct permission and activity-specific licence coverage without pretending a catalogue listing proves permission.
Private by design
Your songs are not the product.
Song words, chords and musical data are encrypted in the member’s browser before upload and unlocked there for editing and export. Account approval and authenticator two-factor security help protect access.
No design can protect an already compromised device or maliciously replaced browser code. Copyright and licence information remains the user’s responsibility unless WordsAndChords later supplies explicit platform rights.
