ChordThing.com is a simple online tool, for Church and gigging musicians, for managing and displaying your chord charts and setlists.

It was born out of a need that I had, to have a quick way to put song lists together for gigs and worship events and display them easily on any PC (Mac's too - I'm not fussy!).

It allows you (and me) to:

• Quickly paste chord charts and lyrics into the system and retrieve them again later
• Easily transpose your chord charts to suit fussy valued musicians or croaky people singing in the morning
• Create and retrieve set lists up to 50 songs long (That's gotta be long enough - surely!)
• Display your set lists full-screen, and quickly navigate and re-order songs while playing (assuming you're playing a guitar... probably not so easy if you're playing bagpipes)

Coming soon:

• iPad-Friendly version! It already works for song input and set list creation.
• Create groups of other users (preferably the musicians you play with but entirely up to you)
• Share songs and set lists with those groups.
• Create PDF's of your setlists to print for luddites good friends who don't have laptops!

It's NOT:

• A system to manage sheet music (you know - with all the little dots and lines ;-)). If you need full-on sheet music you'll need to look elsewhere, sorry!
• Completely finished! ChordThing.com is still in Beta so if you notice any problems, please use the feedback panels to let me know!
• Always going to be free... sorry! Once ChordThing sheds its beta skin and flies away like a little butterfly (did I just type that?) it will cost a maximum of £3 per month. See more details on the right.
