Move from OnSong to Stage Friend

OnSong can export every song at once, so you only do this once. In OnSong, tap the share icon and choose Export, set the scope to Book so it takes the whole collection, and the format to ChordPro, then export. You get your songs as ChordPro files, one per song. If they land in a folder in Files rather than a zip, you can press and hold the folder and compress it into one zip, or drop the files as they are. OnSong's own backup file is not read, so use this export.

Start an import, choose ChordPro or text files and drop the zip or the files in, or tap the box to pick them. Each file becomes one song, with its title, artist, key, lyrics and chords, and you look through the list before anything is added. Single .onsong song files work too, so you can bring a song or two over later the same way. If you'd like to look before you make an account, drop the export at go.stagefriend.app/try instead: it's read on your device, and you see your songs as they will look in the app before you decide to keep them.

The export holds songs, not sets, so your OnSong sets don't come over. Building them again takes a minute per set, since the songs are already in your library: make a setlist, pick the songs and drag them into order. Recordings and PDFs stay in OnSong, and tempo and capo aren't kept, so set the tempo in the metronome and use transpose instead of a capo.

Once you're in, open one of your new setlists and swipe from song to song, see Play a setlist. Then it's worth setting up autoscroll, which rolls the lyrics at the song's own pace, or a page turner pedal, and if you play in a band, invite your bandmates on Solo Pro or Stage Pro so everyone reads from the same songs.
