Hi HN! I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft (https://songcraft.io/home). I recently dove headfirst into songwriting, and I quickly grew frustrated with my process. I found songwriting difficult enough without having to wrangle a mess of different tools, and there's no great solution to build chord sheets and tabs (unless you love pure text input). So, I built Songcraft - an online songwriting platform and tab builder. The drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to jump from chords to lyrics to melodies. I added a chord progression generator and chord recommendation engine to ensure…

Hey HN, I'm a software engineer with a passion for playing guitar. (https://ivanhsu.co) In the software industry, we use clever plain-text syntaxes like Markdown and Mermaid to handle complex layouts. This lets us focus on the content itself and quickly produce beautifully formatted documents. Isn't sheet music and chord charts just another form of documentation in the world of music? That's why I created Cord Land https://cord.land/landing ! It's a website where you can quickly generate lead sheets and draw chord charts using plain text. Even better, it can…

I'm excited to share with HN a new pet project I've been working on to explore how AI can create and explain harmonic chord progressions - Chord Variations. The project uses GPT-4 to generate unique and interesting chord combinations based on user input chord progression. It's akin to having a virtual musical assistant that can help non-musicians and musicians alike explore and create harmonious sound without needing any prior knowledge of music theory. The generated chord suggestions maintain a similar vibe to the user input. Alternative chord progression includes extended chords, chord…

I built a free, browser-based tool for exploring scales, modes, and their diatonic chords. Pick any root note and scale (major, natural minor, all seven modes, and 70+ other scales) and instantly see which chords (triads, 7th, 9th, etc.) belong to that key. It also includes a built-in sequencer so if you've found interesting chords for your scale, you can arrange them into a progression and hear how they flow together. No need to switch between a theory reference and a DAW just to test whether a ii–V–I sounds right in your preferred scale. No signup, no ads, no paywall, just a tool I wished…
