By its very nature, this project is the fruit of compromise. Many won’t like it, some might hate it. Hopefully, a few might find it useful 😇

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of some of these concessions we had to make.

🧐 The text in some one-pagers can appear jammed

This is unfortunately one of the unavoidable consequences of making all this information fit on one page while trying to keep the font size as big as possible.

Give it another chance, it might grow on you! With a bit of getting used to, you may even start to find is aesthetically pleasing 🤩

🫣 The syntax of substitutions and repetitions can be difficult to parse

Especially while playing the guitar at the same time!

Don’t give up! It might be difficult at the beginning, but overtime it really gets easier ⏳

🚧 The format of the transposed one-pagers looks broken

This is one of the many trade-offs of this project. Indeed, the transposed one-pagers are created automatically based on the one-pager with the original key. Each one-pager is carefully formatted using monospaced fonts. However, when a chord is transposed, its transposed counterpart might be of a different length.

For example:

Chord Transposed Result
Em +4 G#m
G -1 F#
C# +3 E
Bb +1 B

Notice that, in these examples, the resulting transposed chord is always one character longer or shorter than its counterpart. These differences in length explain why the overall formatting might appear broken. Especially when those tiny differences accumulate, e.g. when there are a lot of chords on a same line.

Take this one for instance:

[Intro] (Dm Dm Dm Dm - Am Am E E x2) - E E
You're up but you'll get down
You're never running from this town

Notice how much further the chords extend once transposed to +4:

[Intro] (F#m F#m F#m F#m - C#m C#m G# G# x2) - G# G#
You're up but you'll get down
You're never running from this town
