User Manual

In this guide we will show you the core features of OnSong needed to start using OnSong right away. We will reference various screens in our in-depth user manual, but focus on getting you the know-how to use OnSong effectively, quickly.

I can easily chord new music with lyrics, and quickly transpose into different keys as needed through the app. Everything is laid out in a user friendly manner, so I am able to gather songs and create set lists in moments. The app has a black background screen option with the lyrics and chords appearing in blue, to accommodate a lower lit venue. You can change the key/pitch of a song with this app! The app is good for performers who cannot find the right music for their key. And for others, it is just HILARIOUS to hear your favorite song in a different key! Select a song from your iTunes library. After the song is processed, you can then change the pitch of the song with the slider. Audacity, a free program for Linux, macOS, and Windows, offers a simple way to reduce vocals on a digital song file. Actually, there are a couple of ways. First, you can use the ' Invert ' tool to cancel out most of the vocals from an MP3 or other digital audio file. You split the track in two, invert one half, and switch the audio to mono. The app helps with song structure, too. Title your song and label your sections with verse, chorus, bridge, and so on. For songwriters who also play music, there are over 1,000 chord diagrams for.

Drop your audio file(s) in the song analyzer below and instantly get the Key in which a song was composed by magic. Detected Song Keys are 70-95% accurate depending on the selected option, and it's even more if we consider that relative keys share the same key signature. Hit 'download' if you want that we inject the Key found into a custom Song Key Mp3tag (MP3 files only).

Requirements

OnSong runs on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) running iOS/iPadOS 13 or later. If you are using an older device that does not support this, we recommend updating your hardware for future support from OnSong and Apple. OnSong can be installed on older devices if you had originally purchased it through the Account screen in the App Store app.

Installing

OnSong is only available for purchase on the App Store. Search for “OnSong” in the App Store or follow this direct link. The app is available with two pricing models: OnSong Pro and OnSong. OnSong Pro is a premium app where you pay for the most popular features once and the app doesn’t change. OnSong is a free app with membership tiers required to unlock feature sets and that receiving constant updated and features.

OnSong you make your choice, tap on the buy button and enter your Apple ID and password. This will purchase the app directly from Apple and begin the download and installation process.

If you have already purchased OnSong you can download and install the app on another device for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID with which you first purchased the app.

Launch OnSong

When the app has finished downloading and installing, it will appear on your home screen as an icon. Tap to open. Once opened, you will be prompted to either create an account, or sign in. In OnSong Pro, this is optional but recommended as we can keep in touch with you about important updates.

Getting Oriented

Once you open the app, you will be immediately immersed in the OnSong user interface. You'll see the majority of the screen is filled with a demonstration song called Welcome to OnSong. Above that you'll find the Menubar which is where you will be accessing nearly all the tools and functions of the app. In the lower right corner is the Live Bar where you can toggle certain live features like Autoscroll, Backing Tracks and the Metronome. Let's first start by adding a new song to your song library.

Your Song Library

Tap on the Songs button in the upper left corner of the screen to open the Songs Menu. This is where you organize all your songs and sets. Make sure the Songs tab is selected at the bottom. Here you will see all the songs in your OnSong library. You should have only the Welcome To OnSong at this point.

Importing Songs

Tap on the + button in the lower right corner to view the Add Songs screen. Here you can find many ways to import files or subscriptions you have into OnSong. OnSong supports a variety of file formats. We are going to use Dropbox to import files that we have wirelessly and anywhere there's an Internet connection. You'll need to setup a Dropbox account and authorize OnSong to access your Dropbox. That's a one-time thing. After that, you just browse and select files you want to import and then tap on the Import button. The files will download and be added to your library. You'll be returned to the All Songs list and your imported songs will appear in the Song Viewer.

If you'd like to import content from the Internet, OnSong provides the Add To OnSong Safari Extension which lets you import from popular chord chart and lyrics websites. Some bands don't just post their chord charts, but also media like backing tracks and loops! The Add To OnSong Safari extension can import any type of file format OnSong supports too!.

Viewing Songs

Tap on the song in this screen that you want to view and it will be loaded into the Song Viewer. You can scroll this song up and down to view it. Does it look like you want? If not, you can make changes to it using the Song Editor.

Editing Songs

Text-based chord charts work best with OnSong, although you can also import chord charts you may have in Word, PDF, and other supported formats. To edit your chord chart, tap on the pencil icon in the Menubar to open the Song Editor. In here you can make changes to the song's lyrics and chords. You can learn more about the OnSong and ChordPro file formats.

When you're all done making changes, tap on the Done button to save the changes and redraw the screen with your updates.

Change Formatting

Tap on the sliders icon in Menubar to open the Style Preferences Menu. Here you can change the font, size of different elements of the page, as well as highlight the chords. Try to make some changes and see how it affects the chord chart you are viewing.

If you are performing in a dimly lit room, you may want to switch OnSong into Low Light Mode.

Add a Sticky Note

Now let's add a sticky note to the song. To do this, tap on the sticky note icon in the Menubar to open the Annotations Menu. Next, choose Sticky Note from the menu to place a sticky note on the screen. Use the Note Editor to write a note. Tap on Done and then tap and drag the note to place it where you like. Double tap on the note to open the editor again. Tap on the 'A' icon to open the Appearance Menu where you can change the note color and other parameters. Tap Done to save your changes.

Create a Set List

Now that we have two songs, let's create a set. Tap on the Songs button in the Menubar to open the Songs Menu. Tap on the My Sets tab at the bottom. Make sure that you are on the All Sets screen and then tap on the + button at the bottom to create a new set. Set the date and optional title and then tap Done.

Tap on the new set to view the set and then tap on the + button on the bottom right to pick some songs. Tap on both songs in your library to place a checkmark next to them and then tap Done. Now you have a set with two songs. Rearrange these songs by tapping on the Edit button in the upper right corner to enter editing mode where you can drag and drop songs where you'd like. Tap Done to save your changes.

Backup Your Library

As you create your library of songs and sets, your OnSong library will become more and more valuable to you. Keep it safe by creating a backup. No matter what happens to your device or OnSong library, you can always restore from this backup file in the event of an emergency.
