About ChordReader2

ChordReader2 is an open-source fork of the abandoned ChordReader app by Nolan Lawson. It is intended to stay compatible with older devices, which can still be used as books of music.

The app fetches chord charts and tablatures from the Internet, saves them to a local file, and displays them with highlighted chords in an autoscroll view. It can transpose identified chords up or down, add a capo, and show common chord variations.
