IMPORTANT: If audio tracks are uploaded for a cloud song, song sections must be created FIRST in order for the song section data to be populated to create a chart. Creating a chart first and then creating song sections in Playback later will cause potential loss of data. See: How to | Build & Edit Cloud song Sections in Playback

Building a Chart on MultiTracks.com

When building a cloud song chart to a cloud song that has tracks, song sections will need to be made first. After song sections are built in Playback, the song sections will be auto-populated on the website in order to input cloud chart data.

To get started with your chart, simply

Type or paste your lyrics into each song section, and then add chords using brackets like this:

[G]Amazing Grace, how [C]sweet the [G]sound

This will ensure that the chords align properly with the lyrics when displayed.

Aligning Chords with Lyrics

To adjust the spacing between chords or to better align chords with lyrics, use spaces within the lyric line. This allows more precise placement of chords so they correspond with the intended part of the lyrics.

Example:

[C]Just like this [G]for example[F] [C]

Place additional spaces between the bracketed chords or adjust within the lyrics to achieve your desired layout.

Chords are notated using brackets "[]," and we offer a full PDF guide on Chord Pro notation on the charts tab of the website. (Also found below in Helpful links)
