Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add chords to my lyrics? +
Use brackets around chord names: [Am], [G7], [Cmaj7]. Place them directly before the syllable where the chord should be played. Example: [Am]Hello [G]world
How does transposition work? +
Open a song and use the +/- buttons in the control panel. Each tap shifts all chords by one semitone. The original key is preserved so you can always go back.
What is "Style Analysis"? +
Style Analysis lets you find estimated chord progressions to practice accompaniment in an artist's style. It displays a short lyrics preview (first verse) for song identification, with the rest masked by placeholder characters (░) to respect copyright.
The Style Analysis screen with daily download counter.Does the app contain copyrighted lyrics? +
No. GrooveGrave does not distribute the full lyrics of copyrighted works: only a short identification extract (first verse) is displayed, with the rest masked by placeholder characters (░). Personal songs are created and managed by you.
What's the difference between Free and Premium? +

Composer (with diatonic, advanced
and By style suggestions), the
