This would really help us to improve, getting a feel for what chords are coming up, and what chords are most commonly used in certain keys. And it should be possible - you already display the key in the export PDF system, it’s just not mentioned in the songs on the app. It might not always be correct, some songs are too complex and the key changes, but it would be helpful where possible.

  Hi James

  At the start of each song yoiu have the original song key under the TRANSPOSE indicator.

  IE.

  

  Also in the side panel has it in the Song Details.

  IE

  

  Plus most songs (but not all of course have the 4th and the 5th plus the main minor key being the 6th.

  EG

  Key C = 4th F and 5th G plus 6th minor of Am

  Key D - 4th G and 5th A plus 6th minor of Bm

  Key G = 4th C and 5th D plus minor of Em

  Key A = 4th D and 5th E plus minor of F#m (ie E up to F then F#) (Follows the black piano keys)

  Dont worry cause I still use my fingers to work it out sometimes.

  Hope the little lesson in music scales helps a bit.

  Also this shows up well in mostly all Eagles and John Denver songs.

  Cheers Ross NZ
