## Description

Chord! is a comprehensive chord and scale reference for fretted instruments, computing fingerings for chords, scales, and arpeggios with support for many tunings and drop voicings. It’s designed to help players of all levels explore harmony, practice, and performance with powerful search by fingering or scale, and it can display fingerings on a neck with sound. 

Write songs by dragging and dropping chords, transpose in any key, generate print-ready PDFs, import existing songs, and link audio tracks to play along while adjusting pitch and speed. The app emphasizes accessibility and flexibility, letting you tweak parameters to see meaningful results—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, and whether you’re using standard, open, or custom tunings. Left-handed support and a rich set of features make Chord! a versatile tool for practice, arranging, and performance.
