Chord Transpose was created for a hobby of mine, and is meant to be shared. This application will allow you to automatically transpose a song from the original key into a new key with a click of the mouse. This application is integrated directly into Microsoft Word, allowing you to use the rich formatting that is available in Word, as well as the ability to transpose chords - all in one package! Songs must be in the two-line format in order to work (chords on top, words on bottom). Feel free to download and try it out. If you don't like it, it cleans up nicely.

Requirements

Chord Transpose is intended for use in Office 2007 and Office 2010. To use this application, you need to have the .NET Framework version 4.0 and VSTO 2010 installed on your machine. This will download and install automatically when you install the Chord Transpose software.  But, you are a do-it-yourself kind of person you can get .NET 4.0 here. VSTO 2010 is available for download here. Make sure you select the right file appropriate for your machine. To my knowledge, Chord Transpose does not work on Office for Mac, but if you're willing to try it please let me know how it goes.  This software will work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.  Earlier versions of Windows are not supported.

About and Contact

Chord Transpose was created by me, Brent Sink. If I was more social, you could have read my blog at blog.chordtranspose.com. However, I have yet to post an article.  If you find bugs (you probably will) send them to brent@chordtranspose.com and I'll try to take care of them.
