You've Copy-Pasted Your Last Chord Chart (We Hope)
We get it. We've been there. And honestly, we're tired too.
It's Thursday night. You're finalizing Sunday's setlist. You need the chords
for that new song everyone's been requesting.
So you do what you've done a hundred times before:
- Google the song name + "chords"
- Click through three websites with aggressive pop-up ads
- Find a version that's almost right
- Copy it into a Google Doc
- Realize the formatting is completely broken
- Spend 15 minutes fixing line breaks
- Notice the chords are in the wrong key
- Manually transpose every. single. chord.
- Print it out
- Repeat for the next song
Sound familiar?
The Hidden Cost of "Quick" Copy-Paste
Here's the thing nobody talks about: that "quick" copy-paste routine isn't
quick at all.
Let's do the math.
Say you spend 10 minutes per song formatting chord charts. If you're adding
3-4 new songs a month, that's 40 minutes. Over a year? 8 hours of your life
spent fighting with line breaks and font sizes.
And that doesn't count:
- The time spent searching for the right version
- Transposing keys manually
- Sharing updated versions with your team
- Finding that one Google Doc you swore you saved somewhere
- Reformatting when you switch from your laptop to your phone
We've watched worship leaders manage setlists across 4 different apps, 12
Google Docs, a shared Dropbox folder that nobody can find, and a group chat
full of PDF attachments named "final_setlist_v3_REAL_final.pdf"
It's chaos. And it doesn't have to be.
What If You Only Had to Do It Once?
Here's our honest pitch: Star doesn't eliminate copy-paste entirely.
If you have a song that's not in our library of 50,000+ tracks, you might
need to add it yourself. Once.
But here's what happens after that one time:
- It's yours forever. Saved, organized, searchable.
- It's on every device. Phone, tablet, laptop—synced automatically.
- It's shareable. Your whole team sees it instantly. No more "did you get my
email?" - It's transposable. One tap to change keys. No manual chord editing.
- It's in your setlist. Drag, drop, done. Reorder in seconds.
- It's live. Make a last-minute change and everyone's copy updates in
real-time.
One copy-paste to rule them all.
Built-In Tools You Didn't Know You Needed
While we're at it, Star isn't just a chord chart app.

Real-Time Collaboration That Actually Works
This is where Star really shines.

then spend the next 13 minutes texting everyone the update?
With Star, you make the change and everyone sees it. Instantly. On their
device. No texts. No confusion. No "wait, are we doing the bridge twice?"
Your team stays in sync because they're literally looking at the same
setlist.
The Last Copy-Paste You'll Ever Do

every song you'll ever need.
But we will promise you this:
The days of reformatting chord charts, hunting through Google Docs, and
texting PDF attachments to your band are over.
Add a song once. Use it forever. Share it instantly. Transpose it
