Add chords to your songs — paste a ChordPro or OnSong chart, or type them inline — and they appear above the lyrics on stage and confidence displays, never on the audience screen. Transpose the chords to any display key, and pitch-shift the song's audio track to match, in one click.
Type ChordPro chords in square brackets before the syllable they fall on — [G]Amazing [C]grace — or just paste an OnSong or ChordPro chart and LightLoop converts chords-over-lyrics, section labels, and metadata for you.
Flip on Show chords on stage view in the Style panel and pick a chord color. Chords show only on stage and confidence displays — your audience screen stays lyrics-only.
LightLoop auto-detects the song's Original key from the chords. Choose a Display key and the chords transpose on the fly — correct any reading with a tap.
If a track is attached, hit Transpose to pitch-shift it to a new key while keeping the original tempo — the original file is always kept for one-click revert.
Standard ChordPro [chords] — and pasted OnSong charts (chords-over-lyrics, Chorus: section labels, Key: metadata) — render above the syllable they precede on stage and confidence displays. Your audience output stays clean, lyrics-only.
LightLoop reads the chords and works out the song's key with music-theory scoring — not just a guess at the first chord. Em C G D → G; Bm D A G… → D. Override it any time.
Set a Display key and every chord — roots, slash basses, and chord-chart measures — shifts to match, with sensible sharp/flat spelling for the target key.
Transpose the attached track to a new key while preserving tempo. The shifted file plays everywhere the song plays; the original is always kept for instant revert.
Flip the Instrumental switch to remove the vocals for a karaoke track — for congregational singing or rehearsals. It generates in the background and plays on your outputs automatically; flip it off for vocals. Works with transposition, so it comes out in your key. More →
Turn on Sync to Audio and the chord display key follows the audio transposition automatically. Leave it off and chords stay independent — for a player capoing or reading in a different key.
Whole-measure chord charts like [|Ab / / / |] render on their own line, and the upcoming slide's chords show in the stage "Next" preview — all transposed to your display key.
Worship leaders move keys to fit a vocalist or a new arrangement — and everything else has to follow. LightLoop keeps the chords your band reads and the click track your players hear locked to the same key.
Open a song's Audio card and click Transpose. Pick the from and to keys; LightLoop figures out the semitones, pitch-shifts the track without changing its tempo, and attaches the result. The original audio is never overwritten — revert any time.
With Sync to Audio enabled, the chord Display key rides along automatically, so the chart your team reads on stage always matches what's playing.
Chords on stage, lyrics for the room, and any key you need — free with every LightLoop account.
