MapSongs

See the structure of a song: color-coded sections, a bar grid for the chords, and lyrics lined up underneath — built for practicing at the piano.

Not a scroll, a map

Most chord sites give you chords floating over lyric characters (Ultimate Guitar) or beat squares with no sections (Chordify). MapSongs renders a song as a map instead: color-coded section cards, each with an equal-width bar grid — one cell per bar, beat dots inside — and lyric phrases aligned under the bar they belong to. You see the whole shape of the song at once, not just the next few chords.

What's in it

Song map view

The arrangement as color-coded section cards, each an equal-width bar grid with beat dots, repeats and 'same as Verse 1' references rendered right in the map.

Practice mode

Two memorization drills built on the same map: progressive hiding blanks out a fraction of bars to recall by heart, and shuffled sections step through the arrangement in random order.

Transpose, Roman numerals, Nashville numbers

Shift key with a selector or ± semitone buttons; switch the display between chord letters, Roman numerals (vi–V–IV–I), and Nashville numbers (6- 5 4 1), computed live from the song's key.

Playback sync

A ▶ Play button walks the map in time with a metronome click and a soft synth chord per bar, plus sync with Spotify and YouTube so the highlighted bar tracks the actual recording.

Import from Ultimate Guitar

Search from the import page, open the chord sheet on Ultimate Guitar, and the Send to MapSongs bookmarklet brings title, artist, key, capo and the sheet back — no copy-paste.
