Welcome to the Nashville Chart Builder Wiki.
Nashville Chart Builder is a browser-based application for creating professional Nashville Number System charts, chord charts, and companion lyric sheets. I created this program because I didn't like any of the other chart creation programs that were already out there. It currently works best on a display device with landscape layout (like a standard computer monitor or a laptop.)
The application:
- Runs entirely in the browser
- Requires no installation
- Works offline
- Generates printable charts
- Supports both NNS and standard chords
- Saves projects as JSON files
Nashville Chart Builder follows several principles:
Charts should be editable in real time during rehearsal.
Charts are stored as simple JSON files.
Printed charts should look professional without additional formatting.
No server or account is required.
Notation emphasizes real-world musician workflows rather than theoretical complexity.
