Worked example
Chart to lead sheet
A ChordPro chart in G, engraved as a harmony-only lead sheet in A major, with the words under each line.
Harmony-only: a chord chart does not supply a melody.
What the musician filled in
- The piece
- Amazing Grace, the attached ChordPro chart
- Target sounding key
- A major
What the studio asked back
Nothing. The form had what it needed, so the work went straight ahead.
How long it took
19 minutes from the moment work began to the files being ready, for this short hymn. A longer score takes longer.
What came back
- The lead sheetPDF, one page: chord symbols over beat slashes, with the words under each line
- The same sheet, editableMusicXML
- The guideWhat was done, what was not, and how to perform it
From the guide that came with it
Every delivery comes with a written guide. These lines are copied from this one.
Difficulty and playability notes
Guitarists who would rather keep the shapes of your original G chart can capo at the 2nd fret and play the G-chart shapes (G, G7, C, Em, D, D7); that sounds in A and matches this sheet.
What was done and what was not
Re-keyed from G major to A major: every chord moved up a whole step (a major second).
No melody was added or implied, as you asked. The slashes have no pitch: they mark the beats only.
