Songpress is a free song typesetting software (or "ChordPro formatter"). It allows you to create and print lyrics and chords (as in guitar scores), quickly and easily.
You create a song in the popular ChordPro format. Just place chords in square brackets, like this: [C]This is a [Am]song.
Then you export your song as an image (SVG, PNG) or as an HTML file, and you import it into your favourite word processor or graphics application: Openoffice.org, Scribus, Inkscape, ...
Other features of Songpress include key transposing, conversion from the "tab" format to ChordPro, and conversion between several chord notations (such as C, D, E; Do, Re, Mi, etc.).
System requirements
What's new in Songpress 1.6:
- Different output for different usage: chords are not always useful. For a large lead sheet, chords on every single verse are welcome, but for a small leaflet one could prefer to put chords only on the first verse and on the (first) chorus, in order to save space, or even to remove chords completely (for example for singers). Therefore Songpress introduces three levels of "chordeness"...
- complete, chords are typeset on every verse
- minimal, only one verse for each type gets chords (Songpress will determine automatically the first occurrence of a verse with a new chord pattern)
