Yea... The fact that the new version of application, unlike the previous, doesn't have built-in file manager. Try to install, for example, "ES File Explorer" or "Dropbox" or any other similar soft.
On the song text screen choose "Information" menu item. You can find the strumming patterns in the "Comments to chords" (or in the "User's comments") section. If there are no data for this song... Hm, you can use google or youtube.com, for example, for search any info about this song.
I see that I am not alone who's asking, but I have the same question. I have a lot of songs with chords on the guitar, but unfortunately I have not figured out how to get them into your program. Lyrics are in. ODT. Thanks for the answer, Larry
OK..the program has a feature for importing. When I use it and navigate to the folder where the text files of chords are stored, nothing shows up in the guitar songs screen. Do the files need a specific extension to show up? Thanks! Great program!
Yes, files must have a "txt" extension. BTW, try to update the program. Version 2.2 have a bug that hides files with names, which contains spaces or other non english symbols. This fixed in version 2.2.2.
Hallo Alexander, i tried to import a german song, we have special characters like a, o, u with two dots above ä, öü or ß. If I import such a song, the program shows me only a question tag instead of these characters. What character coding must have the .txt-files to be imported?
Hi, Love your program! One question: Should the speed buttons work? When I try to increase the speed a message comes up "Faster", but I can't really see any change, not even by repeatedly pressing it. I have also tried to pause first and then press the increase button.. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot.
Hi! Yes, it should work, but changes might be very small. Increasing speed is equal decreasing "duration" value. Try to set small value (for example, 50) and you will see, that speed increased.
Can you change the capitalization of authors? For example, "The Cranberries" (1) on the database is capitalized as "THE CRANBERRIES" (2), and if a new song is uploaded with the author as in (1) it will result as (2) no matter what.
Unfortunately, I can't do it in general, because there is no premoderation on the site. And users when adding new songs are not very careful in this matter.
I add it from the program (import) for personal use. I add now and from the site but i do a false and cannot change it or delete it. I write as author my nickname and not the name of the singer which is Μάσκες. Anyway i'm interesting to import songs for personal use and in this case didn't recognise the letters/language
The best way to add songs is the site and I hope you will use it in the future :) Import songs feature provided as is. Sorry, but I can't anough time to support it for all languages. I've change author of song "Άρωμα" to "Μάσκες" on the server.
My hoster has some problems, so since August 8 the site and synchronization with server in the application doesn't work. I hope that tomorrow the problem will be solved.
Hi again, i have songs in greek language and i can't read. When i put on the song in your program for watching the song , it's give me some symbol not greek language and ask you maybe the type of my fonts do not recognized from your program.Maybe your program need an other special font type ( not Arial or times new roman or anything else).
The second variant is more preferred, but don't forget to insert sign ">" in the beginning of chord line. The first variant is possible too, but symbols "[" and "]" should be replaced by "<" and ">"
I loaded the application this morning and it seems to never have finished loading. I still see the rotating circle and if I click on the reload symbol it tells me 'Updating Comments' The only way I can find any songs is to search for them. I can't use the letters on the right side of the screen, if I click on any of those it just shows me the Upper Case letter within a circle.
My phone is ZTE Valet model Z665G, Android version is 4.1.1 I uninstalled and re-installed the application this morning with no change. It still says 'Updating Comments' no matter how many times it is resynchronized. The Song List page just shows the rotating circle.
Hello there, I just start to play with the apps and I like it.2 questions: when I import a song where is will be placed. I cannot see it in the list. I can only find it using the search tools
2) it is possible to manages folders I would like to create a folder and add several songs under it
Hello! 1) Likely, song's place song is named as folder where the imported file has been located. But you can check it on song's info screen (tap on the "information" menu item)
2) It is not possible now, but I plan to implement it in future versions.
What file format can I import? Do the files need to be txt or can I import .doc files? I dont want to go thru all the reformatting if I save my work as txt files but will if necessary. I love the way this app works on my tablet.
Hello, I have uploaded 6 songs yesterday form the artist (Daniel Belanger) using my laptop when I check on the laptop, they are now shown a last updated and can find it only by using the search tool. How long does it take to upload into the database.
I use my tablet application and I cannot find them even after doign the synch and using the search tool
Its funny when I open the application it ask me the language and when Iselect french it only list the song in french, if I close and open again and select englisht it shows the list only the english songs regardless if I have select french and english into the settings language
Yes, it is a correct behavior. In the settings you can select how many languages you will see in the dialog after application start. Also, there is no need to restart the application, you can choose another language by clicking on the same name icon in the action bar.
Добрый день! Отличная программа! Но есть паре вопросов: Загружаю песни с сайта gs. Если загружаю русские песни, то все ок. Если английские, то они не отображаются в приложении после обновления базы. Что не так? Почему нельзя изменить имя исполнителя в загруженной мной же песне? Вдруг ошибся , а поправить уже нельзя...
Не совсем понял - что понимается под словами "обновление базы"? А имя исполнителя менять нельзя по причине того, что такие правки могут повлиять на другие песни. Это действие позволено только модераторам.
I have 2 android devices, a moto-g and a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014ed. On both I have the actual version 3.1.0. On the moto-g i have the possibility to edit the songs start delay and time and edit and import songs, on the samsung device I only can transpose the song and nothing more. On the samsung device bevor i had installed an older version of "guitar songs". Also deinstalling the app and reinstalling again did not help to get the new features.
Sorry, this was my failure, the Galaxy note has a special knob for settings. That is why the 3 dots did not appear on the tablet. But now (after the update to v. 3.1.0. also the moto g does not offer me the possibility to edit initial pause and duration. Before I made the Update it was possible. Did you remove this feature? Please add it again, many songs are not in an appropriate speed.
There were 2 reasons. At first I did not know about the possibility to load the songs up. And now I did load up 2 songs, but before I do it, I'd like to test them locally, especialls init pause and speed, before I load them up.
I think it would be good for the app to have the possibility to add the songs speed (in beats per minute, like musicians do).
Why did you remove the speed editing? It was a very good feature...
Good morning from a col montreal ( -24 C) I was wondering if it<s possible to edit the name of an artist after I saved it on your web site. I've found the way to edit the song itself but the the name of the artist I have made two mistakes 1) I have uploaded songs called gone gone gone ahd home from Philips philips but Imisspelled the name
2) I have uploaded a song from Eric Lapointe and I named him Eric Laspointe
can I or can you fix this I'll be more careful next time I load something
Hello, Eric! Unfortunately, I can't allow users to edit the name of an artist because it very difficult to control every editing and many errors might be appear. I fixed it. Next time you can place message with fixing request directly on the site (in the comments of song which you append).
Все очень просто - у меня нет iphone и я не знаю язык программирования Objective-C, на котором пишутся программы для IOS. На самом деле, разработка под IOS начата моим коллегой по работе. Но, по правде говоря, движется она очень неспешно.
Thank You 😁 AWESOME App by the way! You've done a great job of making it easy and fun to learn new music! I love it so much that I've nearly finished going through each folder and making sure all lyrics are correct in my app! lol..I'm such a nerd😉
Firstly thank you for creating such a useful app. However there is a small issue with the latest version. On the older version it was possible to zoom in and out with a pinch of two fingers on the screen, this was very handy whilst playing a song to quickly change the size to fit what I needed to see on the screen at the same time, this latest version doesn't have that capability. Are there plans to bring that function back in an update soon? If not is there any way of me getting an older version of this app with this feature, that I found invaluable, on my device.
Thank you for you time in reading this email and I will look forward to your response.
A few days ago i have baught the guitarsong app and i am verry happy with it. Today there was an automticaly synchronizing and all the chord are gone, Help! Also i cant tap annymore on the chords above the texts. What to do?
Great app. I took a while to realise the significance of the ">" symbol to facilitate the "transpose" feature. Would like more options on import facility if poss. 1) option to import a whole folder 2) facility to include "duration" in an imported file.3) option to skip import on duplicates. What are your thoughts? Hope you don't mind me asking ... don't ask - don't get. Thanks
1. I will try to do in the next release. 2. It is already implemented: duration="120"; If imported file contains this line, the duration of song will be 120 seconds 3. I will try to do in the next release.
Is there a "user guide" or something similar which explains the features and option in the app. eg what the > does and putting "duration= "120" ' in the import file etc. Thanks again
I just put the Russian user guide (http://songs4guitar.blogspot.ru/p/0.html) through a Google translate. It is understandable and explains almost everything... except "source". In the Russian user guide when translated the description of "source" seems to refer to a "fight" and a "battle". It doesn't make much sense in English. Is there some other meaning in Russian. Many Thanks. P.S. Just worked out how to post to your blog under my own identity
Great App design. I'm finding it very useful for my purposes. The key transpose is a bonus but I notice it only handles simple chords. Anything like Bm9 is transposed as "??". Is this a known issue? .. or maybe just a problem in my installation? Thanks
Hey man, nice job on the app, simple but effective! I will definitely contribute. Have already corrected some songs. Would it be possible to add by default something like two white lines at the start of each song? Or even more and you can just put the text at the position you think is best for starting. Because now when you scroll to the top, it's always difficult to read the first chords. What do you think?
Thanks :) Hm... I don't understand what the problem is. Perhaps there is a bug that appears on your phone. Could you take a screenshot or make a small video of how the application looks on your device?
On the song text screen choose "Information" menu item. You can find the strumming patterns in the "Comments to chords" (or in the "User's comments") section. If there are no data... Hm, you can use google or youtube.com, for example, for search any info about this song.
Hello! By mistake, I erase the directory path (something like /data/data/...) thinking that local song could be imported. And if I understand correctly this path should never be changed... Could you give me back the complete path name ? Thank you in advance!
Hi, I was just wondering, what does 'inst' mean? In a lot of the songs, it will say that and then have a bunch of dashes and numbers next to it and I don't know if its a glitch or I'm suppose to play something?
I saw it in 'A thousand years' by Christina Perri, 'Everlasting God' by Chris Tomlin, 'Hyancinth house' by Doors, 'I see fire' by Ed Sheeran and a couple more songs.
Hi, my name is Roberto. I have a lot of songs in my personal lists, on pc . In the database of Guitar Songs there are some authors with a really few songs (italian authors, for istance). Now is possible to import new songs in a new list. Do you think that, in the future, the User could be able to improve each single list of his favorite author with texts and chords existing in his personal database? Many thanks for answering and congratulations for your great work!
There are no audio in the app because this is songbook, here you can find only lyrics of songs. But you can find a lot of clips on the youtube.com site. For your convenience a new version of the application has "Search on Youtube" action on the "Information" screen.
Hi, I'm Roberto. I wrote on October 13 and, today, I would like to submit some problems: when I import a new .txt file in the App, I find it full of errors in the transcription. For example, the chords are not entered in the correct point of the text, but slipping forward; accented characters and apostrophes are replaced by "?" inside black rumbus. Again, instead of the song titles it appears the name of the folder repeated as many times as the songs imported from that folder. I thank you in advance for your explanation.
Hi, Roberto! Are you sure that txt file has UTF-8 encoding? The application supports only this format. As for the song titles I did not quite understand... Can you email me some imported files?
Dear Alexander, thank you. The problem of UTF-8 has been solved. Anyway, about the second question, when I import my folder named "Music" with 50 songs inside, in the "song list" it appears 50 times "Music" with a single song inside and not "Music" with all the songs inside. I make some mistakes again, maybe? Thank you for your patience
In the last version when I import two .txt songs which are in my device in the same folder, two folders with the same name are seen in Guitar Songs. For instance I have "All my loving.txt" in the "The Beatles" folder and "All together now.txt" in the same folder. Once I import these songs I see in the Song List two entries called "The Beatles" each one with one of these songs.
Previously the songs where being imported all in the same Song List folder, which took the device folder name.
I finished the Catalan translation, but I don't see how to make the app use this translation. Is this translation going to be imported in a future update of the app?
Thank you very much! Yes, Catalan translation will be available in the next update of the application. Have you got some Catalan songs for append to the database? May be I should append Catalan language to the server?
There are too many songs in the database to bring them all in one list. But on the search results screen, and in the "Folders" section songs listed by song title.
Yes, I can add new chords in the database. Can you tell me please the layout of this chord? I found a lot of variants in the web, but don't know which one of them is true.
Well, there is actually not a "true" layout for any chord, as any chord can be obtained by different positions and different digitations. A simple one for B/A is
Synchronizing means downloading all the songs from the server, right? Is there a way to synchronize only the chords? Because I just want to keep in Guitar Songs my songbook, not a lot of songs that I don't know and play.
Some of this chords still don't appear as "known" chords in the server. Is that normal? See for instance this song: http://en.guitarsongs.club/song/14213
I just installed the application but would like to edit directly some chords or include some that are not on the list of chords. Is it possible? thank you
Best of all - use the site en.guitarsongs.club, then you've added songs will be immediately available to other users. If you want to add a song just for yourself, then do the following: while you on the song list go to the menu and choose "Import…" option. After choose the txt-file. Also, you can add virtual folder in the "Folders" section of the application.
There are too many songs in the database to bring them all in one list. But on the search results screen, and in the "Folders" section songs listed by song title.
How can I create playlists? They will actually be set lists for use at gigs. In other words a set of song lyrics in a particular order so I can just go from one song to the next at a gig.
Unfortunately, no (I don't know your e-mail), but if you installed app from Google Play, it will show you notification when new version will available.
Is there a way (other than the slider) that I can set the rate and duration for .txt files that I import (instead of ones I download from the web page)?
Yes, you can append this line at the beginning of the txt-file: duration="130"; Scrolling speed is calculated based on the duration of the song. More information about txt-file format here (please, use translate.google.com for translation from Russian): http://songs4guitar.blogspot.ru/p/0.html
This is a great a app!thank u so much for this. May I suggest to include also Disney and broadway songs. And songs of Lea salonga too. Please I love to play them in my guitar. Thank you so much and more power!
how to import songs from my file folder?
ReplyDeletein previous version i was able to import songs from my folder.
Yea... The fact that the new version of application, unlike the previous, doesn't have built-in file manager. Try to install, for example, "ES File Explorer" or "Dropbox" or any other similar soft.
DeleteI have ES File Explorer. Where and in what folder are the songs?
DeleteThere are not folder where are the songs stored. All songs stored in the single database file. Path to this file you can see in the settings.
DeleteI have just installed version 4.0
DeleteDescription on Google Play says....
"Ability to transpose chords (change the key of songs)"
...how can I do this?
Just choose "Transpose" menu item on the song text screen.
DeleteWhere will I get the strumming patterns? The app displays the chords but I can't understand how to stroke
DeleteOn the song text screen choose "Information" menu item.
DeleteYou can find the strumming patterns in the "Comments to chords" (or in the "User's comments") section. If there are no data for this song... Hm, you can use google or youtube.com, for example, for search any info about this song.

ReplyDeleteCurrently, only plain text files supported (*.txt).
Delete*.odt files can't be imported. As I understand, the problem in this.
OK..the program has a feature for importing. When I use it and navigate to the folder where the text files of chords are stored, nothing shows up in the guitar songs screen. Do the files need a specific extension to show up? Thanks! Great program!
ReplyDeleteYes, files must have a "txt" extension.

Why don't you want to append these songs on the web site?
DeleteImported txt-files must have UTF-8 encoding.
That was it! I see the file now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Love your program! One question: Should the speed buttons work?

ReplyDeleteFor example, "The Cranberries" (1) on the database is capitalized as "THE CRANBERRIES" (2), and if a new song is uploaded with the author as in (1) it will result as (2) no matter what.
Done
DeleteThanks! Although, I was wondering if there could be a way so that this could be done in general. It's hardly going to be a one-time problem!

is there a format in adding songs with chords on your site.
ReplyDeleteex:
"som[E]e lyrics dad[B]adad[A]a"
or should i copy and paste the chords just like this?
___E________B__A
some lyrics dadadada

ReplyDeleteВсе очень просто - у меня нет iphone и я не знаю язык программирования Objective-C, на котором пишутся программы для IOS.
DeleteНа самом деле, разработка под IOS начата моим коллегой по работе. Но, по правде говоря, движется она очень неспешно.
I'm not sure if someone has asked yet, but how do you add songs to a folder?
ReplyDeleteJust select any songs and press "Add to favourites" button. If you have more then one folder, choose one in the dialog.
DeleteWhere folder are the songs stored?
ReplyDeleteThere are not folder where are the songs stored. All songs stored in the single database file. Path to this file you can see in the settings.
DeleteIn last sync the song' Lighting Crashes' was placed in Pearl Jam folder. This is incorrect. Written and performed by the Stone Temple Pilots.
ReplyDeleteHm... I don't know this song, but wikipedia says that it was written by Ed Kowalczyk (Live) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Crashes
DeleteYes! Sorry... Live is correct.
DeleteFixed
DeleteThank You 😁
DeleteAWESOME App by the way! You've done a great job of making it easy and fun to learn new music! I love it so much that I've nearly finished going through each folder and making sure all lyrics are correct in my app! lol..I'm such a nerd😉
Enjoy!
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteFirstly thank you for creating such a useful app. However there is a small issue with the latest version. On the older version it was possible to zoom in and out with a pinch of two fingers on the screen, this was very handy whilst playing a song to quickly change the size to fit what I needed to see on the screen at the same time, this latest version doesn't have that capability. Are there plans to bring that function back in an update soon?
If not is there any way of me getting an older version of this app with this feature, that I found invaluable, on my device.
Thank you for you time in reading this email and I will look forward to your response.
Kind regards
Johny Kramer
Yes, this feature will available in the next update.
DeleteI'm from Nepal, can I add a nepali song?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can. But before do it, I should add nepali language to web site. Could you write me how nepali alphabet is looks like?
DeleteA few days ago i have baught the guitarsong app and i am verry happy with it. Today there was an automticaly synchronizing and all the chord are gone, Help! Also i cant tap annymore on the chords above the texts. What to do?
ReplyDeletePlease, try to synchronizing with the server again. If it didn't help, backup your database and send me email with backup-file attached.
DeleteThanks, its running again, didnt know i could syngronize by myself in the programm👍
ReplyDeleteGreat app. I took a while to realise the significance of the ">" symbol to facilitate the "transpose" feature.
ReplyDeleteWould like more options on import facility if poss. 1) option to import a whole folder 2) facility to include "duration" in an imported file.3) option to skip import on duplicates.
What are your thoughts? Hope you don't mind me asking ... don't ask - don't get.
Thanks
1. I will try to do in the next release.
Delete2. It is already implemented:
duration="120";
If imported file contains this line, the duration of song will be 120 seconds
3. I will try to do in the next release.
Excellent! Thank you ! !
DeleteIs there a "user guide" or something similar which explains the features and option in the app. eg what the > does and putting "duration= "120" ' in the import file etc.
Thanks again
Unfortunately, only Russian guide is available - http://songs4guitar.blogspot.ru/p/0.html
DeleteBut you can export any existed song and see the resulting txt-file.
I just put the Russian user guide (http://songs4guitar.blogspot.ru/p/0.html) through a Google translate.
DeleteIt is understandable and explains almost everything... except "source". In the Russian user guide when translated the description of "source" seems to refer to a "fight" and a "battle". It doesn't make much sense in English. Is there some other meaning in Russian. Many Thanks.
P.S. Just worked out how to post to your blog under my own identity
The "source" tag is deprecated now. You do not need to use it.
DeleteGreat App design. I'm finding it very useful for my purposes. The key transpose is a bonus but I notice it only handles simple chords. Anything like Bm9 is transposed as "??". Is this a known issue? .. or maybe just a problem in my installation?
ReplyDeleteThanks
No, it is a bug. I'll fix it in the next release.
DeleteHey man, nice job on the app, simple but effective! I will definitely contribute. Have already corrected some songs.
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to add by default something like two white lines at the start of each song? Or even more and you can just put the text at the position you think is best for starting.
Because now when you scroll to the top, it's always difficult to read the first chords.
What do you think?
Thanks :)
DeleteHm... I don't understand what the problem is. Perhaps there is a bug that appears on your phone. Could you take a screenshot or make a small video of how the application looks on your device?
Hello. The Birds of Tokyo song that you have on here is called "Lanterns". It's not "Wild Eyed Boy". Just thought I'd let you know! Great app!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI fixed it.
Sound no sound
ReplyDeleteHow do i hear songs playback or is there a setting something im missing i rely on my ear makes no sense to have a play button if you cant hear it
DeleteSorry, but there are no sound in the application. This is songbook, here you can find only lyrics of songs.
DeleteNo encuentro una canción como le hago
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't speak spanish
DeletePlease add these Pearl Jam songs:
ReplyDeleteDaughter
Yellow Ledbetter
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
Better Man
Sorry, but I do not content songs database.
DeleteUsers do it themself via web-site http://en.guitarsongs.club
I have trouble with my app. The chord folder do not have actual chords....
ReplyDeleteLike the folder titled with "B" you will not actually find any chord in it....
I really love this app but when it changed to this, my heart is just crushed.... please, please, please... HELP ME with this...
Did you try synchronization with server?
DeleteHow am i supposed to know the strumming patterns of the song
ReplyDeleteOn the song text screen choose "Information" menu item.
DeleteYou can find the strumming patterns in the "Comments to chords" (or in the "User's comments") section. If there are no data... Hm, you can use google or youtube.com, for example, for search any info about this song.
Hello! By mistake, I erase the directory path (something like /data/data/...) thinking that local song could be imported. And if I understand correctly this path should never be changed...
ReplyDeleteCould you give me back the complete path name ? Thank you in advance!
Hello! It path depends on your device vendor.
DeleteTry this the most commonly used value: /data/data/ru.subprogram.guitarsongs.vint/files
Thanks a lot! This path works, I am out of trouble...

ReplyDeleteHi, I was just wondering, what does 'inst' mean? In a lot of the songs, it will say that and then have a bunch of dashes and numbers next to it and I don't know if its a glitch or I'm suppose to play something?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't understand what do you mean... Where did you see 'inst'? Could you give some examples of such songs?
DeleteI saw it in 'A thousand years' by Christina Perri, 'Everlasting God' by Chris Tomlin, 'Hyancinth house' by Doors, 'I see fire' by Ed Sheeran and a couple more songs.
DeleteI think 'inst' is only in the Christina Perri song, but the others have the random dashes and numbers
DeleteIt's not a glitch, it is a tablature :)
DeleteYou can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablature#Guitar_tablature
Ok thank you so much! :)
DeleteHi, my name is Roberto. I have a lot of songs in my personal lists, on pc . In the database of Guitar Songs there are some authors with a really few songs (italian authors, for istance). Now is possible to import new songs in a new list. Do you think that, in the future, the User could be able to improve each single list of his favorite author with texts and chords existing in his personal database? Many thanks for answering and congratulations for your great work!
ReplyDeleteHi Roberto! Yes, I think I cat implement such feature, but not in the near future.
DeleteHi do u have an audio version so I can actually hear wat the chords sound like to learn correctly
ReplyDeleteThere are no audio in the app because this is songbook, here you can find only lyrics of songs. But you can find a lot of clips on the youtube.com site. For your convenience a new version of the application has "Search on Youtube" action on the "Information" screen.
DeleteI'd like to help in translating the app to Catalan. Can you add this language to the set of languages to translate into?
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Roberto. I wrote on October 13 and, today, I would like to submit some problems: when I import a new .txt file in the App, I find it full of errors in the transcription. For example, the chords are not entered in the correct point of the text, but slipping forward; accented characters and apostrophes are replaced by "?" inside black rumbus. Again, instead of the song titles it appears the name of the folder repeated as many times as the songs imported from that folder. I thank you in advance for your explanation.
ReplyDeleteHi, Roberto!
DeleteAre you sure that txt file has UTF-8 encoding? The application supports only this format.
As for the song titles I did not quite understand... Can you email me some imported files?
Dear Alexander, thank you. The problem of UTF-8 has been solved. Anyway, about the second question, when I import my folder named "Music" with 50 songs inside, in the "song list" it appears 50 times "Music" with a single song inside and not "Music" with all the songs inside. I make some mistakes again, maybe? Thank you for your patience
DeleteOh, it's a bug... I'll fix it in the next update.
DeleteOk. Thank you!
DeleteIn the last version when I import two .txt songs which are in my device in the same folder, two folders with the same name are seen in Guitar Songs. For instance I have "All my loving.txt" in the "The Beatles" folder and "All together now.txt" in the same folder. Once I import these songs I see in the Song List two entries called "The Beatles" each one with one of these songs.
ReplyDeletePreviously the songs where being imported all in the same Song List folder, which took the device folder name.
Is this a bug?
Yes, it's a bug. I'll fix it in the next update.
DeleteExcellent, thank you!
DeleteI finished the Catalan translation, but I don't see how to make the app use this translation. Is this translation going to be imported in a future update of the app?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteYes, Catalan translation will be available in the next update of the application.
Have you got some Catalan songs for append to the database? May be I should append Catalan language to the server?
Yes, that would be great, for sure there will be entries for the 8th most spoken European language.
DeleteDone
DeleteWhat does the "Duration *" number mean?
ReplyDeleteThis number is the length of the song in seconds. It's used for calculate scroll speed.
DeleteThanks for the quick response.
DeleteIs there a way to list your songs by song title instead of artists?
ReplyDeleteThere are too many songs in the database to bring them all in one list.
DeleteBut on the search results screen, and in the "Folders" section songs listed by song title.
Is there any way to add new chords? For instance there is no entry for well known chords such as B/A (B with A in the bass).
ReplyDeleteYes, I can add new chords in the database. Can you tell me please the layout of this chord? I found a lot of variants in the web, but don't know which one of them is true.
DeleteWell, there is actually not a "true" layout for any chord, as any chord can be obtained by different positions and different digitations. A simple one for B/A is
Deletee--x
b--4
g--4
d--4
a--0
e--x
Thank you! I added this chord on the server. After synchronization you can see it in the application.
DeleteSynchronizing means downloading all the songs from the server, right? Is there a way to synchronize only the chords? Because I just want to keep in Guitar Songs my songbook, not a lot of songs that I don't know and play.
DeleteYes, I can do it.
DeletePlease, wait for new version.
I think that would be a great feature, looking forward for it.
DeleteI just got this update, thanks a lot, this app is getting better and better, it's a great reason for me to own a tablet.

Deletemy name is Martin Herrmann from Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI just installed the application but would like to edit directly some chords or include some that are not on the list of chords. Is it possible? thank you
Hi Martin,
DeleteUnfortunately, this is not possible. But if you tell me which of the chords are wrong or absent, I'll fix them.
Plz tell me how to add new songs
ReplyDeleteBest of all - use the site en.guitarsongs.club, then you've added songs will be immediately available to other users. If you want to add a song just for yourself, then do the following: while you on the song list go to the menu and choose "Import…" option. After choose the txt-file.
DeleteAlso, you can add virtual folder in the "Folders" section of the application.

Can you view database by song title?
ReplyDeleteThere are too many songs in the database to bring them all in one list.
DeleteBut on the search results screen, and in the "Folders" section songs listed by song title.
Please, add Slovenian language (slovenski jezik or slovenščina) for Slovenia.
ReplyDeleteRegards!
How can I create playlists? They will actually be set lists for use at gigs. In other words a set of song lyrics in a particular order so I can just go from one song to the next at a gig.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment this is not possible. But I'm working on it.
Deletethanks. How do I get notified of updates?
DeleteI write changelog on the Google Play for every update.
DeleteI don't understand. Will I get a notification to my email?
DeleteUnfortunately, no (I don't know your e-mail), but if you installed app from Google Play, it will show you notification when new version will available.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way (other than the slider) that I can set the rate and duration for .txt files that I import (instead of ones I download from the web page)?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can append this line at the beginning of the txt-file:
Deleteduration="130";
Scrolling speed is calculated based on the duration of the song.
More information about txt-file format here (please, use translate.google.com for translation from Russian): http://songs4guitar.blogspot.ru/p/0.html
How can i download new song ?
ReplyDeleteJust click "Synchronize" button in the application.
DeleteHere I'm back with some more chords for the database:

Hi. I have created a list of songs in a folder and I would like to amend the order (to create a playlist). Is there any way I can do that? Thanks Al.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great a app!thank u so much for this. May I suggest to include also Disney and broadway songs. And songs of Lea salonga too. Please I love to play them in my guitar. Thank you so much and more power!
