Exceptional , simply an exceptional and elegant bit of software, beautifully integrated with Rhyme Genie. I am now writing songs -- it helps you build confidence. Best thing is there is no endless subscription.

I'd be worried your app title might make people think of 'songsmith' that microsoft gem. And they'll be 'singing with their laptop...'

Not sure i fully understand the FREE when i have to register/pay 30 bucks for TuneSmith ? Also it has the appearance of a Windowoze application and not a Mac appearance.

TuneSmith has grown into an invaluable songwriting partner for me especially with the integration of Rhyme Genie. However, the way chords symbols need to be added to the lyrics could be improved. It's certainly quick and easy to add chords in plain text format and have them converted into fully formatted song sheets with automatically added chord charts. In fact I haven't found a software that allows me to produce song sheets faster than TuneSmith but not having the option to edit the formatted chord symbols in preview mode falls just a tad short WYSIWYG editing. In all other aspects the app is a solid performer and I have relied on it on a daily basis to write my lyrics and keep track of song splits without any issues.
