Chord Beats

Chord Beats show the duration of each chord in your song. Each chord is annotated with its beat count, so musicians can see at a glance when to change chords.

Enabling Chord Beats

Chord Beats are hidden by default. Enable them in the SongViewer settings before assigning beats to chords.

1. Open Settings → Song View.
2. Scroll to the Chord Beats section.
3. Turn on Show.
4. Choose a Style:
   • Dots — each chord is followed by small dots (•) for each beat; chords longer than 8 beats show a number (e.g. 12•).
   • Stacks — beats are stacked vertically below each chord.
   • Pills — beat count shown as a compact pill badge on each chord.
   • Timeline — chords are laid out on a horizontal timeline bar.
5. For Stacks, Pills, and Timeline styles you can also set Bars per line to control how many bars fit on one row.
