How to save interpretations?

1. Formatting

1.1. Notation of Chords

There are many ways to notate guitar chords and everyone has their own personal preferences, but to standardize the songbook we suggest that you only use the established notation. This will make learning easier for beginners and ensure that our system highlights chords correctly.

OK Recommended notation
chords over lyrics
Place the chords exactly where the strings are struck. 
       C        G        a
Jolka, Jolka, do you remember summer from your dreams,
  C       G       a
When you wrote: I feel so bad,
  C           G       d           a
Just break away, do something with me,
   C          G         F
Don't leave me here alone, oh no.
OK chords in the text in square brackets
When the page is displayed, the chords will be placed above the text in the correct position. 
Jolka, [C]Jolka, [G]do you remember [a]this from your dream,
When you [C]wrote: I feel [G]so [a]bad,[C]Just break
away [G], do [d]something with me ,[a]
Don't [C]leave me here [G]alone, oh [F]no.
Incorrectly chords behind the lyrics
incorrect notation
This totation was often used in paper songbooks, but it makes it impossible to recognize exactly where the chord was struck and makes it difficult to read the arrangement on a mobile phone.
Jolka, Jolka, do you remember the summer from your dreams,       ~~ C G a
When you wrote: I feel so bad,                  ~~ C G a
Break off at least now, do something with me, ~~ C G d a
Don't leave me here alone, oh no.            ~~ C G F
Incorrectly chords in the text in slashes
incorrect notation
This notation prevents our system from recognizing the chords 
Jolka, /C/Jolka, /G/do you remember /a/summer from your dreams,
When /C/you wrote: I feel /G/so /a/bad,/C/Just break
away /G/, do /d/something with me ,/a/
Don't /C/leave me here /G/alone, oh /F/no.

Place the chords exactly where the strings are struck, that is, immediately before the word, or at the beginning of the syllable that is struck, or immediately after the word. Stick to the original key. If you use a capo, include this information in the documentation.

Before sending your study or correction, use the preview function to check that everything is correct.

1.2. Chord Notation

In our songbook we use Polish chord notation used in most Polish tourist, rock and religious songbooks. Example:
Chord Polish name English notation English name
C It's hard C C major
Cis Cis-Dur C♯ / D♭ C♯ major
fis in the Pier F♯m/G♭m F♯ minor
B B-Dur / Ais-Dur B♭/A♯ B-flat major
H H-Dur B B major
h h-Moll Bm B minor

Chords in English notation will be automatically translated to the correct format. To improve the conversion, in this case, select the "American notation" option in the "Chord notation" field.

1.3. Comments

In some cases, you can include comments in the text with additional information about the performance of the song.

OK Comments in braces
Place comments in braces to allow for correct formatting. 
Jolka, Jolka, do you remember summer from your dreams,
When you wrote: I feel so bad,

{guitar solo}

Just break away, do something with me,
Don't leave me here alone, oh no.

1.4. Repeating chords

In paper songbooks, to save paper, the chords were often written only for the first verse. In our songbook, we require repetition of chords over all verses and all chorus repetitions. Thanks to this, even on small devices such as a phone or tablet, the chords will be visible at all times.

1.5. Complete text

In the case of repeated fragments of lyrics, do not cut off the chorus like: "So come paint...", just copy and paste the entire chorus again. This also makes it easier to play with automatic scrolling. Don't write "chorus x 4", but insert its text four times.

1.6. Song title

In this field, we only provide the title of the song in its original spelling, without any additional information. According to the rules of the Polish language, only the first word of the title is written with a capital letter ( more information on the PWN dictionary website ).

OK Whiskey
Autobiography
Where are you my friends
House of the rising sun
Dream about the Valley
OK Whiskey (original grips)
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Where are you....
The House of the Rising Sun
Dream About the Valley

1.7. Song performers

Each song in our database must have at least one artist assigned to it. Please remember to use only the original artist name in the original language, in the original spelling. If the main contractor is a person, we first write down his name and then his surname.
