FOR PROFESSIONAL-LOOKING MUSIC CHARTS, 1CHART IS ALL YOU NEED
Create, share and print easy-to-read music charts with the only app that gives you all the power of the Nashville Number System, while also offering the flexibility of switching to letter-format chords whenever you like.
At the core, 1Chart is built around the Number System and all its shorthand flexibility for charting music. But why stop there?
1Chart is also built for those who prefer to read letter chords rather than number chords. “Am F C” or “6m 4 1”? The choice is yours. Now anyone who prefers letter chords can enjoy the Number System's concise charting advantages — without needing to read numbers.
Have a chart using letter chords and want to change keys? No problem. Select a new key, and your letter-format chart is updated to reflect the change.
CHART FASTER AND SMARTER
- Clear typography makes your charts easier to read
- Copy/paste measures or sections for faster charting
- View charts in your choice of three font sizes
- Share charts and notebooks as PDFs or editable 1Chart files
QUICKLY TYPE CHORDS
- Support for chord inversions, as well as common and not-so-common chord qualities ("alt" chord, anyone?)
- For Numbers fans: Accidentals before or after chord numbers? 1Chart accommodates both preferences.
SUPPORT FOR RHYTHMIC NOTATION & DYNAMICS
- Add as much rhythm/dynamic detail as you need. 1Chart includes characters for pushes, diamonds, the "mute triangle," etc., as well as the traditional notes and rests used in the Number System.
- Use traditional notation or "hash marks" to specify beat distribution in split measures
- Mark an area with a crescendo, decrescendo, ritardando or accelerando
ADVANCED RHYTHMIC NOTATION
- Beam notes above a single chord (e.g. to show an 8th-note feel) or across multiple chords (to show groove or beat distribution)
- Tie notes and diamonds
TOOLS TO BUILD YOUR ARRANGEMENT
- Use repeat symbols, codas, segnos, etc.
- Select an area to specify 1st/2nd/etc. endings
- Separate sections with a single- or double-underline, or specify no formatting
FINE-TUNE YOUR FORMAT
- Option to align measures horizontally (4–8 measures per line)
- Style inversions with a horizontal or diagonal dividing line
- Choose "Minimize Horizontal Spacing" to fit more content per line
ORGANIZE AND SHARE YOUR CHARTS
- Use Notebooks to gather your charts in easy-to-manage collections (to mirror a set list, for ex.)
- Share charts and notebooks by email
- Import from and export to cloud services such as iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc. Imported files must be in 1Chart (.1ch) format.

ABOUT THE NASHVILLE NUMBER SYSTEM
Nashville Numbers is an ingenious shorthand system for charting music that identifies chords by number (relating to scale degree) rather than letter, so charts are key-independent. A Number chart is valid no matter what key you choose to play it in.
Take a progression spelled with the chord letters, A, D, and E. In Numbers, these chords are written as “1, 4, 5,” matching their position in the A scale: A is first, D is fourth, and E is fifth.
Because scale relationships don't change when you change keys, “1, 4, 5” works in any key. Change the key to G, and “1, 4, 5” indicates you’ll want to play G, C and D — the first, fourth, and fifth notes of the G major scale.
Combine this flexibility with rhythmic and dynamic notation, and you’ve got a powerful format for creating concise roadmaps of songs for use when rehearsing or performing.
1Chart includes the option of showing chords in number or letter format, giving you the best of both worlds. You can easily toggle between number chords and letter chords at any time in any chart you create.

Awesome! Wish it had a few things though

Franciquini on

United States

I absolutely love this app and it has made charting and organizing my charts a breeze. However, I would love to see the following in a future update: 1). Apple Pencil support. It would be awesome to be able to write on my charts directly in the app. The only way to do this is to export my chart as a PDF and save it elsewhere. I prefer keeping my charts within the app since the notebooks feature is super handy. 2). The ability to import PDFs. I like to add snippets of tabs over some of my charts. Since the app doesn’t allow me to add a screenshot of anything to my charts, it would at least be nice for me to do it in another app and then import that new pdf back into the app for the sake of organization.

I have hundreds of charts in 1CHART Is it possible to have / use more than 1 FONT size in the same chart ? Adding small notations to large chords could be very helpfulChip

Love this app!

There’s nothing else like it. A couple suggestions: * Mod should be in steps up or down as declaring a specific key kind of defeats one of the purposes of the NNS * Many prefer to use the dash “-“ for minor chords

ICloud Backups?

Excellent app, but I’m outta luck if my iPad is lost or crashes. Please allow me to save my files to iCloud!

Good app, missing basics

jmullenite on

United States

This is a good chart app whether or not you use Nashville numbers. However, it’s missing some really basic features (iCloud sync, Bluetooth pedal integration) that have me questioning its value for the price. With no updates in two years I’m not convinced it’s worth paying for in 2022.

Almost 5 stars!

These charts are clean, easy to read, and easily transferable to apps like ForScore where reading/marking is more practical. The app is also relatively easy to use. I love the app and I make every chart besides jazz tunes in this app. A few things that may make the app better: Make sharing charts with other people easier. The sharing/notebook creation process is pretty strenuous. There must be a way to make a highlight all button or make the selection process more similar to the Apple email app. Rhythmic notation: when you want to erase one rhythm, you have to erase all rhythms written for the selected chord. So if you write an 8th note when you meant to push 16th note, you have to erase all the rhythm you’ve written up to that point. Same goes for beaming - if you make an error beaming rhythms over multiple chords, you have to erase all of the chords and rewrite them with the proper beaming. Also, it is currently impossible to denote the number of beats for a chord if you are also trying to notate a push. I hope I’m wrong, or that there is an easy solution to these problems! Tempo/Style marking: there is no way to denote what note value gets the beat!! This makes the writer have to make a decision about how to mark the tempo in compound time like 12/8; do you mark the 8th note pulse or the dotted quarter note pulse? What if the song is in cut time? There should be a way to clarify this. As far as style markings: although you could use the subtitle for a style marking, it would be great if there was a text box in the upper left hand corner beneath the tempo marking where you could write the style of the song. Again, I love the app, and I hope that I’m wrong about these few issues and that I’ve overlooked how to get around them, but I think most users would agree that fixing these issues would take the app to the next level. Thanks!

Alignment issue, please fix!

zoinksitszachbrown on

I’m a full time musician in Nashville. I play on Lower Broadway regularly and the number system is how we communicate down there. First let me say most of the features on this app are awesome. I would use it for everything but paper charts still have the edge because of ONE issue…when you do ANY slash chords, split measures, or add repeat signs it throws off the alignment of that line which is hard to read. The chords don’t line up with each other vertically down the chart. (You can even see it in the screen shots of the app on the App Store) Each chord on the chart should be squared up on a grid system. The jagged lines make this app borderline unusable for a high pressure sight reading situation. Yes, I’m aware of the “align measures” feature but that wastes valuable screen space and still sometimes doesn’t line up right when there are lots of changes or multiple columns. I need all chords (regardless of modifiers) to fit squarely on the screen with ONE page in TWO columns. This is especially important with songs that have a lot of changes and large arrangements. Other than that, everything else in this app is fantastic. If the developer fixes this issue I will give 5 stars and never look back to paper charts. Thank you

Awesome App

ilikedifferentviews on

I love everything about this app, EXCEPT... It seems there’s a bug with the measure function. The more one uses the ‘box,’ it graphically moves upward toward the underline; thus, a graphic “crash” of sorts that makes it hard to select the box the further you go in the chart.

Great App

BenKirschMusic on

United States

This app is great! One thing I can’t figure out is how to put an accidental on the bottom number in a slash chord. Like if I wanted 1m/3b.... the b always ends up on the top chord. Am I doing something incorrectly? If this is not possible, please look into making it possible for a future update. That is the only thing preventing this app from being perfect for me. Thanks y’all!

I’m a fan

Loud1 on

I am a complete fan of this app. It’s easy to work with and addresses most musical situations intuitively. I’ve been using it for quite a while and do all my session and live work on it. It’s definitely a time saver and makes great looking charts. I’d love to see an update that allowed greater ability to write rhythmic and musical lines with numbers over it for signature licks or fills or solos. Thanks guys. Great work!
