How to display and pin chord diagrams (guitar/piano) on MacOS?

Jamzone can display real-time chord diagrams for guitar and piano, perfectly synced with the song to help you play along more easily.

To enable diagrams

1. Go to Settings > Default Instrument.
2. Choose your instrument: Guitar or Piano.

Chord diagrams will appear automatically in compatible songs.

To display and pin a diagram

1. Tap on a chord name during playback.
2. Tap it again to show the full diagram.
3. Double-tap the diagram or long-press and select Pin Diagram.
4. Pinned diagrams stay visible as the song progresses.
5. Tap again to unpin.

You can only display one diagram at a time unless using the Chord Book.

To use the Chord Book

1. Open a song.
2. Tap the Chord Book icon (book symbol) in the player.
3. Browse the available chords.
4. Long-press a chord to pin it directly.
5. Or tap the [...] menu on a chord to pin multiple diagrams.

This allows you to display multiple diagrams at once, which remain visible during playback.

To modify a chord diagram

1. Long-press any diagram (in the player or Chord Book).
2. Tap Change Diagram.
3. Choose from alternative fingerings or positions.
4. Apply the shape for the current section or the entire song.

Your diagram preferences are saved per song and per account.

Tips

• Diagrams adapt automatically to your selected difficulty level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
• All pinned diagrams and preferences are synced to your cloud account.
• Use capo and tuning settings to simplify shapes without changing the song’s pitch.
