Music Stand App — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a music stand app?
A music stand app replaces a physical music stand by displaying chord sheets, sheet music, or lyrics on a device like a phone, tablet, or laptop. Chordly goes further. It is a full chord sheet creator and organizer with autoscroll, setlists, and live performance sync built in.
Can I use Chordly as a digital music stand on stage?
Yes. Play Mode gives you a clean, full-screen reading view on any device. Autoscroll keeps the chart moving hands-free so your hands stay on the instrument. During a Jam Session, the scroll is driven by the host so every musician stays at the same position without touching their screen.
Does Chordly work on iPad, Android, and phone?
Yes. Chordly runs in the browser on any device: iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, or Linux. There is no app to download and no platform restriction.
Can my whole band use Chordly together?
Yes. Start a Jam Session from any song or set and share the link with your band. A countdown fires on every device at the same moment and everyone follows the same chord sheet in synchronized scroll. Guests join by opening the link. No Chordly account required.
How do I organize songs into a setlist in Chordly?
Create a set in the dashboard, add songs from your library, and arrange them in order. Set a scroll duration for each song so the timing is ready before you perform. You can play through the set solo or start a Jam Session to perform with your band.
Is Chordly free to use as a music stand app?
Yes. Building chord charts, creating setlists, and using Play Mode with autoscroll is free. Sign up and start using Chordly as your digital music stand today.
