Print a chord chart or save it as a PDF

A paper chart is still the easiest thing to hand a dep player or clip to a music stand. In the song's three dots on the chords and lyrics page, choose Export, then pick the paper, A4 or Letter, and the Font size, and watch the preview change as you go. On a computer, or a tablet held sideways, Export is also in the three dots at the end of the song's row in your lists.

When it looks right, the button at the bottom depends on your device. On a computer it's Print, with Download PDF to save the file instead. In a browser on a phone or tablet it's Share PDF, to send it in a message or save it to your files, again with Download PDF beside it. In the Stage Friend app on an iPhone, an iPad or an Android phone there's only Share PDF, and that's also how you save the file there.

The first options cover most charts. Besides the paper and the font size, Meta info shows or hides the key and the chord diagrams at the top together, Chords leaves the chords out for a lyrics sheet, and Columns splits the page in two, so a long song takes fewer pages. The rest wait under Advanced settings: there you choose whether to print the lyrics and chords or only one of them, whether to show the artist and the key, and how Chords used appears at the top of the song, as Diagrams, as Names or Off. Diagrams are the standard, so a guitarist who doesn't know the song gets the shapes on the page.

Keep formatting keeps the bold, the colours and the highlights you gave the song; it's off to start with, so the page prints clean. Turn Notes on to print the band's notes and your own private ones at the top of the song, under its title. For the layout, choose Comfortable or Compact and Portrait or Landscape. Every page has a small Stage Friend footer. Once the chart is done, put the song in a setlist and print the whole set in one go from Share a setlist.
