Hey HN,I&#x27;m a software engineer with a passion for playing guitar. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ivanhsu.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ivanhsu.co</a>)In the software industry, we use clever plain-text syntaxes like Markdown and Mermaid to handle complex layouts. This lets us focus on the content itself and quickly produce beautifully formatted documents.Isn&#x27;t sheet music and chord charts just another form of documentation in the world of music?That&#x27;s why I created Cord Land <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cord.land&#x2F;landing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cord.land&#x2F;landing</a> ! It&#x27;s a website where you can quickly generate lead sheets and draw chord charts using plain text.Even better, it can automatically transpose songs! Just write in one key, and it can be instantly converted it to any of the other 11 keys you want.I&#x27;ve implemented a new syntax called Corduroy, an extension of ChordPro syntax specifically designed for guitarists. Besides showing chord names above lyrics, you can also customize chord charts. For example, `%x32o1o%` will automatically draw a C major chord in the first position!Feel free to try it out here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cord.land&#x2F;landing#playground" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cord.land&#x2F;landing#playground</a>
