How to create a playlist?

Why do you need a playlist?

During a performance for your audience, it is time consuming to find and search chord sheets. A well crafted playlist can help you a lot. You can add the songs to your playlist in any order. Additionally, you can save transpose, capo and font-size options along with your song to your playlist.

How to share your playlist?

In order to share your playlist, click share button and use one of the options. This will send a special link to the people you want to share. Shared playlists are view-only, they can not be changed by the people other than you. When you make a change and save it, other people need to refresh the page in order to see the updated playlist. Do not forget that, this share link is permanent and can not be changed. So you can not revoke a shared playlist link.

How to share a custom chord sheet?

If you want to share individual songs rather than your whole playlist, go to the song itself and use the share button. Just like the playlists, custom chord sheets are view-only, they can not be changed by the people other than you. When you make a change and save it, other people need to refresh the page in order to see the updated chord sheet. Do not forget that, this share link is permanent and can not be changed. So you can not revoke a shared custom chord sheet link. If you share a playlist, all custom chord sheets on the playlist can be seen by the shared people. People who view your custom chord sheets could use tone, capo, font-size and scroll functions independently.

What about collaboration?

If you want other people to add/remove songs to your playlist and edit custom chord sheets, we suggest you to use a common Mychordbook account. By this way, everybody in your band can login simultaneously and can make changes to your common playlist.
