What is your email used for?

Your email is NEVER shown on the site, and never shared with anyone. Only the moderation team can see it.

It is used only if a moderator has a question about your submission — for example to clarify a chord or a lyric before publishing it.

You can leave the field empty: your contribution is accepted just the same.

Quick help for completing the song

These examples cover the essentials. The toolbar buttons can generate the syntax for you.

Position a chord

Put the chord in square brackets immediately before the syllable where it starts.

[C]Au clair de la [G]lune

Mark a chorus

Select the lines and choose the Chorus icon, or use this structure.

{start_of_chorus: Refrain}
[F]Chante avec [G]moi
{end_of_chorus}

Add strumming

Choose the Strumming icon to set the time signature, subdivisions and arrows in the builder.

{strum: 4/4 | D.DU.UDU}

Color who sings

Select lines or a few words, then the Color icon: three tints, and the chords keep their own.

{x_start_of_color: 1}
[C]She sings this line
{x_end_of_color}

Slow down a passage

Put the cursor at the start of the passage, then the Scroll speed icon: 10 to 300% of each reader’s speed.

{x_scroll_speed: 80}

Chords inside a tablature

Place [G], [D]… commands only on the first line after {sot}. They appear above the string but are not transposed.

{sot}
e----[G]--------[D]--|
B------0-1-0---------|
{eot}

Emphasis tint

It applies to the selection: whole lines (block) or a few words. Chords keep their color.
