Chord Transposer

Your details

Single-chord mode transposes one symbol and shows the full note breakdown. Sheet mode transposes every chord in a pasted chord chart.
In single-chord mode this is the chord root. In sheet mode it is the song key (used only for the key-change display).
The chord type. Major, minor, seventh chords, suspended, and extended types are all supported.
Positive = up, negative = down. Range -11 to +11 covers all keys.
Whether enharmonic equivalents are shown with sharp (#) or flat (b) symbols. C# and Db are the same pitch - this is just a notation choice.

Transposed chord tonesD - F# - A

D is the result of shifting C up by 2 semitones.

  • The interval shifted is a major 2nd (2 semitones).
  • The chord tones in the original are C - E - G.
  • After transposing they become D - F# - A.
  • A 2-semitone shift (major 2nd) is common when a singer needs a slightly higher or lower key.

Next stepSwitch to "Chord sheet" mode to transpose a full song at once, or try different chord qualities using the selector above.
