Change text size, chord color, and other display choices

For everyoneUpdated September 29, 2026

Make charts easier to read on stage with text size, lyrics only, columns, chord color, and diagrams.

Two buttons at the top of stage view change how charts look. Everything here changes your screen only, never the rest of the band's.

Text size, view, key, and capo

Tap the button with the sliders (next to the T).

  • Text size: slide it from 80% to 160%.
  • View: Chords, Lyrics for the words alone, or Numbers for Nashville numbers.
  • Key: pick a key for this song. Changing the key here only changes your screen, and a link under the keys takes you back to the service's key.
  • Capo: the plus and minus buttons set a capo, and the chart shows the shapes you play. See Key and capo.

Key, capo, and view show for typed charts. A PDF chart only has text size.

Display options

Tap the T button.

  • Columns: Auto shows two columns when the screen is sideways and one when it's upright. Or choose One or Two.
  • Repeats: Show in full, or Collapse to show a repeated chorus as one line.
  • Metronome: Flash only or Flash and click. To start the metronome, tap the small circle beside the song's parts. It follows the song's tempo, and it's off for a song with no tempo.
  • Chord diagrams: Off, Guitar, Piano, or Ukulele. See Chord diagrams.
  • Chord color: Amber, Blue, Green, or Like the words.

What's kept, and where

  • Text size, view, and columns apply to every chart. The capo is kept for each song. These and the display options are saved to your account, so they follow you to your other devices.
  • A key you pick on stage stays on this device, for that service.
  • Changed with no connection, they still work, and they're saved when you're back online.
  • To set how charts start, open Your settings and find Charts on stage.
  • Guests on a guest link can change these too. Theirs stay in their browser.
