This release adds audio feedback to the free version of ChordCalc.

This release fixes a minor glitch where the dots for certain note functions were invisible on the guitar fretboard. Never mind version 1.0.3 - this is the best ChordCalc yet!

This release brings the Lite version of ChordCalc into full parity with ChordCalc 1.0.4, with the most accurate chord notation, an extended keyboard with musical symbols, better highlighting on the Scale screen, and other enhancements.

The most major update yet! I spent many late nights improving chord notation and made some great interface improvements too. The keyboard now includes an extra row of keys with the most common musical symbols, and chord name input is filtered more scrupulously to limit garbage entry.

ChordCalc Lite is a free music utility showcasing the Chord and Scale interfaces of the guitar-friendly ChordCalc. You can use ChordCalc Lite to build chords, explore chord theory in two dynamic graphical interfaces, and see how chords fit into different scales and harmonic contexts.

ChordCalc is a calculator-like utility for chords. It includes an interactive guitar fretboard and 3 other interfaces for quickly building chords and performing common chord operations like adding extensions, transposing to other keys, and harmonizing within scales.

ChordCalc 1.0.2 is now available in the iTunes App Store, bringing many essential improvements, bug fixes, and performance enhancements to this handy chord calculator and virtual fretboard. Read the rest of this entry for the complete release notes.

ChordCalc Lite is the free version of ChordCalc, showcasing just the Chord and Scale screens from the full version of ChordCalc. It doesn't have audio feedback, the Circle Screen, or the Guitar Screen, but you can type in the name of a chord and see what notes it contains. Then on the Chord Screen you can select from all the chord's possible names and toggle notes to produce new chords. The Scale Screen includes all the scales from ChordCalc, including the 7 modes of the Major scale. There you can drag the chord to transpose it to a new key or progress through the harmonies of the scale.

The ChordCalc 1.0.1 update includes major fixes to the chord naming code, support for sideways guitar orientation, and other helpful enhancements to provide a more useful and accurate app for all your chordy purposes.

The premiere version of ChordCalc features old crufty notation making this a creaky beta release. User feedback helps us to refine chord notation to a level of pristine beauty in later versions.
