Outputs / Live Display

In Team Chords, outputs are the live-ready song entries connected to a set list.

They determine:

  • which chord sheet is used
  • what key it should be shown in
  • whether a capo should be indicated
  • where it appears in the set list order

What an output does​

Each set list song becomes an output entry.

When viewed in the set list share/preview screen, Team Chords can:

  • transpose the song from its original key
  • add capo information to the title
  • render printable pages
  • keep the order synced with set list changes

Public or shareable view​

The set list share view is designed for reading, printing, and presenting.

It includes:

  • the set list title
  • rendered chord sheets
  • page size controls
  • print support
  • live updates when the set list changes

Page size options​

The set list view supports multiple paper sizes:

  • Letter
  • A4
  • Legal

You can switch page size before printing to fit your preferred format.

The set list view has a print-friendly mode.

When you print:

  • each output is rendered for paper layout
  • Team Chords uses the selected page size
  • the visible controls are hidden in print view

Use preview before printing if you need to verify spacing and readability.

Real-time updates​

The set list view listens for live updates.

That means changes like these can appear without manually reloading:

  • set list name changes
  • output creation
  • output update
  • output deletion
  • chord sheet content updates
  • chord sheet deletion

This is useful when one person edits while others are already viewing the live set list.

Transposition behavior​

Team Chords calculates the distance between the original song key and the chosen target key, then renders the transposed chart in the live view.

This helps teams keep:

  • one base version in the library
  • multiple performed keys in different set lists

Capo behavior​

If a capo is set for an output, Team Chords updates the rendered title to show that capo information.

This helps musicians see performance instructions immediately.

Best practices for live use​

Before rehearsal or service:

  • confirm every song renders correctly
  • verify target keys
  • verify capo values
  • test print output once
  • keep the set list open on the device you'll use live
