Songsheet Generator

With all design and writing tools, the computer can be used to prepare, or arrange different projects, or at least resources you need to work. Music is included here, and with applications like Songsheet Generator you can print out songsheets, or export under several different format.

On the visual side of things, the application mostly takes you through a series of steps, in which you can load existing items, and even edit them. Songs don’t need to be MP3 files, in fact the application doesn’t even work with audio files, but rather text documents, filled in with corresponding lyrics, and key notes.

Songs you load are all displayed in a large list, with an additional panel for those you select for the whole operation. What’s more, there’s a preview section which shows content of a selected song. Editing can’t be done here, but you are allowed to configure an external editor, or use the default feature, which lets you edit songs in Notepad.

Built-in settings allow you to go through the visual style of the output file. First of all, the application lets you generate a plain text file, HTML, ChordPro, RTF, or simply printing out directly on a sheet of paper. Character encoding can be tweaked so that no compatibility issues are encountered. You can set default source and destination folder for a faster approach on the situation.

On the other hand, the application can be used directly on the computer you install it on, without exporting songs. In other words, you can enter a fullscreen mode, with lyrics neatly shown on a black background, with key notes, and frets shows. These can be configured from the options panel, with the possibility to set display for an external display.

On an ending note, Songsheet Generator can help you arrange lyrics, key notes, and frets on a sheet of paper, print them out, or directly display on screen, so that you can your band can easily practice. The actual song doesn’t need to be imported, with options to select custom editors, while file support provides the needed flexibility.
