Song Library
Your song library is where your Chordly songs live. Search, filter, sort, open, and manage chord sheets and tabs from one place.
The song library is the main dashboard view. This is where you open songs, search your library, sort by recent activity, and move between your own work and songs shared with you.
What you see in the library
The main library page has three parts:
- a search bar
- a row of filters
- the song and folder lists
The search field helps narrow the page while you type. The filter row lets you sort by Modified or Created, switch between Favorites and All Songs, filter by Date, and narrow the list by Owner.
Below that, the dashboard shows your folders first and your songs underneath.
You may sometimes see an announcement banner above the lists.
Open a song from the library
Open Song Library from the sidebar.
Use the search bar or filters if you need to narrow the list.
Click a song card to open it.
For songs you own, Chordly opens the editor.
For songs shared with you, Chordly opens the editor if you have edit access. If the song is view-only, it opens in Play Mode.
Search and filters
The library filters become more useful as your library grows.
- Modified sorts by the last edit date
- Created sorts by when the song was first made
- Date narrows the visible list to recent work
- Owner separates songs you own from songs shared with you
- Favorites switches to the favorites view
The Clear button removes the active date and owner filters so you can get back to a broader view quickly.
The icons in the song list
The song list uses different icons so you can tell what kind of song you are looking at before you open it.
- your own songs
- songs shared directly with you
- public songs
- friends-only songs
Quick actions on songs
Each song row also gives you quick controls without opening the song first.
- star a song to add or remove it from Favorites
- use the folder button to update which folders it belongs to
- open the song menu if you need to delete it
If you use folders often, that folder button is the quickest way to keep things organized without opening each song first.
Song Library and Favorites use the same core view
The Favorites page uses the same main library layout with a favorites filter applied.
That means the search and sorting behavior feels the same there too.
