MobileSheets Forums

Hello Mike,
First of all, thank you for MobileSheets. I use ChordPro files extensively, and the transposition feature is very useful.
I would like to request an option to control the enharmonic spelling of transposed chords. For example, when transposing, MobileSheets currently displays F#, but in some musical situations I would prefer Gb instead.
It would be very helpful to have a setting such as:
● Prefer flats
● Prefer sharps
● Automatic (current behavior)
This would make chord charts much easier to read, especially for brass players and musicians who work mainly with flat keys.
Thank you for considering this feature.
Best regards, Neanderthalerin

There have been long conversations about that such as this thread: https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...13275.html and this thread: https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...15081.html

I used to support an option to do what you are describing, but was informed that this generally isn't the correct approach to take, and the source and transpose keys should dictate how the transposing is handled. What is being done in the app is currently correct from a music theory perspective, and there is no easy way to force sharps/flats without it being handled incorrectly in some scenarios.
