Import
How to migrate from SongbookPro to Fretlist
Move your entire SongbookPro library — songs, setlists, metadata — into Fretlist in minutes. Here's how.
How to migrate from OnSong to Fretlist
A step-by-step guide to exporting your songs and setlists from OnSong and importing them into Fretlist — with everything intact.
How to import songs from Ultimate Guitar into Fretlist
Open the song, press Cmd+A to select the whole page, copy, and paste into Fretlist's import box. That's it — no API, no scraping, no extra tool.
How to import songs from Chordie into Fretlist
Open the song on Chordie, switch to ChordPro view, press Cmd+A to copy, and paste into Fretlist's import box.
Using the editor
Chords over Lyrics
The default editor format. Chord names sit on a line above the words. What Fretlist renders and what it ignores: chords, sections, performance notes, diagrams, and tabs.
ChordPro
The inline editor format. Chords go in square brackets right where they fall in the lyric. What Fretlist renders: inline chords, section directives, notes, diagrams, tabs, and what it skips.
Features
Getting the most out of Frets
Chord diagrams in your song sheets, a section-aware panel in Play Mode, and two ways to change a voicing — one updates the song, one works like a transpose when viewing or playing a song.
Printing and exporting
The Print & Export window: a live page preview, one-click PDF, the browser print dialog, and editable exports (ChordPro, Word, plain text). Plus setlist running orders and chord-sheet booklets.
Organizing songs with folders
Group your songs into folders, move them individually or in bulk, and import directly into a folder. Drag-and-drop on desktop, long-press on mobile.
