Editing a song

Open a song and tap Edit Song to change its title, chords, lyrics, and metadata.

The fields

If you change Current Key, SongFire can ask whether to transpose the chords or leave them as they are.

The Duration controls the speed of auto-scrolling, and also the total time shown for a set list

Song text

Text Editing switches the body between ChordPro and Chords Over Lyrics for editing. This affects editing only, not song display outside the editor. ChordPro puts each chord in square brackets. Chords over lyrics puts the chord line above the words.

Saving

On a song that already exists, Save... starts with More options and Save Changes. More options also offers New Song and New Version.

Save Changes replaces this song.

New Version keeps the previous song, and stores your edits as a new version in the same family.

New Song keeps the previous song, and stores your edits as a separate song not in a version family.
