Digital Fake Book

Free Chord/Lyric Display Software for Windows®

Jazz and rock musicians often play from chord and lyric sheets instead of sheet music. I wrote this simple Windows program to replace the printed chord sheets I used to use during practice and decided to make it available for anyone else who may find it useful. Digital Fake Book is not able to display notation. Songs are displayed in plain text format on 1 or 2 sheets. The text size and sheet divider position is saved with each song.

Main Features

• Keeps all your songs in one place for easy, one-click selection.
• Built-in metronome with tempo setting for each song.
• Audio file linking with A/B section looping helps with learning songs by ear.
• Text size and sheet divider position is saved with each song enabling the largest text size possible while still fitting the whole song on the screen.
• Random sets can be created to make practice more varied.
• Several color schemes (themes) to choose from.
