Banjo Chord Fonts – Banjo Chord Chart – gDGBD – Chordette

Product Description

Chordette for Banjo is tuned gDGBD.  Both Mac and Windows software versions are included.

What is it?

Chordette contains high quality banjo chord fonts and an application to manage them. The Chordette app can send the chord fonts to other applications as text. Each chord is mapped to a specific key on the keyboard, so you can type. Either way its a lot easier than dealing with images to create chord charts and songsheets. It’s a favorite tool for teachers, music therapists, and musicians.

What instruments are supported?

Chordette is available in multiple tunings for most stringed instruments. Most versions of Chordette support multiple instruments.

Each version of the Chordette font uses the same chord sets and keyboard mappings. If you play multiple instruments, you can create a chord sheet for one, then use another Chordette font to transpose the song to another.

For example, you can create a song for Mandolin, then instantly transpose it for Guitar and Ukulele by changing font sets.

What is the Chordette App?

The Chordette app is a companion to the Chordette fonts and acts as a chord library browser. It takes up very little screen real estate so you can run it side by side with other apps. It provides a handy interface for looking at chords in first and second position on the fretboard. When used to create chord charts, there is a Copy Chord button to enter chords into the document. The Chordette app is available for both Mac and Windows.

Is it free?

Chordette is priced at $10 per tuning, which includes chord font sets and the app for both Mac and Windows. Chordette for Guitarlele is available for free and acts as a demo.

We also have ChordSongs, our online Chord utility to create songsheets. It is a free alternative to Chordette. Give it a try!
