Homechord v3 — release notes

Homechord v3 turns the progression sketchpad into a song editor. Here's what shipped.

What's new

Sections and an arrangement. Group bars into sections — Verse, Chorus, or just A and B — and order them into an arrangement. A section repeats by reference: edit the Verse once and every pass of it updates. Repeat a part ×N, use it again later in the song, or detach one pass when it should diverge.

Durations and splits. A chord can hold up to 8 bars — the block widens, and playback re-strikes it at every barline — or share a bar as two half-bar chords, stacked.

A coach that knows where you are. Writing lands at a gold caret you can place in any gap. The suggestion lanes and the coach line follow it, section boundaries get transition hints, and a section that lands off the 4/8/12/16-bar grid gets a one-tap nudge to round it out.

Five starter forms. An empty Compose offers the 12-bar blues (pre-filled from your key), Verse–Chorus (8+8), AABA (32 bars), and plain 8- and 4-bar grids.

Share links carry structure. A shared song now travels with its sections, names, and arrangement — and every old link keeps decoding.

Sectioned charts and exports. The printable chart groups diagrams by section, and text export writes one line per part: VERSE ×2 | Dm | – | B♭ | Gm A7 |.

A plain sketch stays exactly what it was — the structure chrome appears only once you name a section or add a second one — and your saved progressions migrate untouched, with the old data left in place as a backstop.

Where to get it

Homechord runs in your browser at homechord.webeleon.dev — nothing to install. The Android build isn't on the Play Store yet, but I'll send you an APK on request: email me.
