ChordPad is a musician's tool for discovering and storing chords. A neck for guitar, mandolin, 4-string banjo, or 5-string banjo allows the user to "fret" the chord of interest by simply clicking on the neck. The program then determines the chord and three possible names for the chord that can be chosen. Some features include custom instrument tunings, fingering assignment, multiple capos, and 14 custom categories by which the chords can be grouped.
While one aspect of ChordPad is to explore different chords and tunings, another is to store chords. You can create unlimited databases that can be grouped into logical units such as songs, common jazz progressions, or reference fingering charts.
Download the ChordPad Viewer for Windows now. The ChordPad viewer will now read the default backup files on your PC and create an HTML file for each chord database. For each chord, a JPEG and/or PNG image is generated and then linked together in a dynamically created HTML file. At that point the user can print the databases in any browser, publish to the web, or further edit the pages using any web page editor to add words or other pictures as needed.
| NEWS: |
The viewer is available for Windows (so you can share your chords with your palmless friends on this stuff called paper). If you know about or found this page, try the program (it will work for 90 days with nag screen start up). If you like it then email your HotSync name & I'll send you a registration code for free. (Your HotSync name is in the upper right hand corner when you open HotSync on your Palm.) Steve Cahill |
