Transpose and Capo

When you import a SongSelect PDF chord chart into OnSong, it associates that file with your SongSelect account. While these chord charts are still viewed "as-is", you can now transpose the chord chart using the style preferences menu in the menu bar.

Transposing

From this menu you can both transpose and capo the chord chart. OnSong combines information from both sliders to determine the key to download from SongSelect. OnSong downloads the PDF file and stores it locally so the next time you choose a different key, it is available immediately without requiring an Internet connection.

Tap inside the slider and drag left or right to choose a key or capo. Tap on the left or right side of the slider to fine-tune adjust the value if needed. OnSong will then retrieve a chord chart from the SongSelect chord chart service matching your preference.

Existing Songs

You may have already downloaded PDF chord charts from SongSelect. If you are signed into SongSelect and your PDF chord chart has a CCLI number assigned to it, OnSong will automatically connect the song to your SongSelect account and permit you to transpose and capo.

Internet Requirements

Transposing SongSelect PDF files requires downloading a new version of the PDF file from the SongSelect service which requires Internet access. Each version is saved locally which allows you to access previous versions of the song without Internet access.
