Where to Find Chordly Features, Tutorials, Support, and Roadmap Information

Updated

Chordly's own site is the primary place to find all four: the homepage lists core features, the Featured Articles section links to tutorials and music theory pieces, the Support and Report an Issue pages handle help requests, and the Development Roadmap page covers upcoming changes. Everything below is drawn from chordly.co.uk itself, so you can navigate directly rather than searching elsewhere.

Features: what Chordly does

The homepage groups its capabilities under "Everything you need." The confirmed features are:

  • Instant transposition — change the key of any song with a single click, without manual rewriting.
  • ChordPro support — import existing ChordPro files and edit them immediately.
  • PDF export — download individual chord sheets or entire set lists for printing.
  • Set lists — organize chord sheets into set lists for gigs or practice.
  • No account required — the site states you can use it without signing up, though Sign up and Log in links also exist for those who want them.

Chordly describes itself as a free, open-source chord sheet and lead sheet maker. The source code is licensed under GPLv3, and the site displays version v1.7.0.

Tutorials and articles

The "Featured Articles" section on the homepage is the entry point for written guidance. According to the site, these articles cover music theory and Chordly tutorials. If you want to learn the workflow before committing, start there, then use the "Try It Now" or "Create Chord Sheet" buttons to practice on a real song.

A practical sequence for a first session:

  1. Open the chord sheet creator from the homepage.
  2. Either build a sheet from scratch or import a ChordPro file.
  3. Use the transpose control to shift the key and confirm the chords update.
  4. Export to PDF to check the printed layout.

Support and issue reporting

Two separate channels are listed in the site navigation:

Need Where to go
General help and questions Support page
Bug reports or specific problems Report an Issue page

The footer also links to Privacy & Cookies, About, and Support, so the Support page is reachable from both the top navigation and the footer.

Roadmap and development

The Development Roadmap page is where planned and upcoming changes are published. Because Chordly is open source under GPLv3, the roadmap is the natural companion to the code itself — check it before assuming a feature is missing permanently, and check the version number (currently v1.7.0) to see how current your information is.
