Tap a measure to set its chord. Add sections (Verse, Chorus…), bars, and repeats — the grid you build is exactly what prints.
Bars separated by |, two chords in one bar separated by a space (G D). One part per line: Name x2: G|C|G|D. Applying replaces the blocks above.

is a shared set. Everyone with the link builds it together.
Cover, note and contents stay up front; index and back cover stay at the back. Reorder the middle, or slip in pages of your own.
A page of plain text set in the book's style: the story of the jam, thank-yous, house rules. A blank line starts a new paragraph.
Look up the tunes, build tonight's set, pass it round the circle. When it's sitting right in the pocket, make it real: a proper printed book every picker can hold.
