Topic: Chordie's format
Hi,
Does anyone now what format Chordie uses for the songs? Can these be uploaded into either OnSong or Songbook? The app Songbook.
Thanks,
Roy

Hey Roy,
If you select the view option it will show you the formats for the songs. I prefer chordpro (because that's how I write), but there are others, and since Chordie doesn't host songs not all song formats are available for every song. Good luck!

Re: Chordie's format
Hi all, I'm new here. Why is there a 99 song limit on song books? It's not the end of the world, but is slightly inconvenient. Also how do you do a set list? Just make a different song book?
Thanks in advance,
Re: Chordie's format
Well, back in the beginning when drive space was expensive and small, a limit on server space allocated to each registered member made sense and that 99 song limit was needed. To get around that limit it was decided not to limit how many "books" one could have, and that made it easier for members to do things like sort their music into genres, or in your case set lists.
Personally, I keep my music on my local drives as PDF files and sort and arrange set lists from my library locally. Then I can print them, or copy to a thumb drive to take with me to gigs or share with other group members at rehearsal or jam sessions or whatever.

Re: Chordie's format
Chordie now wont let me add songs to OnSong, a different song library app. It use to let me. What happened?
Re: Chordie's format
Just guessing here, but it is possible that the format that the tune you want to add is in a format not supported by OnSong. Some of those apps will only accept ChoPro or somesuch. Check their requirements and see if we have a version in the appropriate format and try again. I don't use the app so am not up to speed on the OnSong preferences.
Edited to add: A quick check online, and it seems that you have to use a text format or PDF to save songs to the app. Try that format if available and good luck.
