Problem
A portable song chart still has to work under a player’s hands.
Plain-text song formats travel well, but rehearsal adds practical needs: transposition, capo shapes, legible chord placement, diagrams, set order, and a view that can move hands-free.
Those needs become harder when lyrics use CJK text, where character width and syllable boundaries do not behave like a monospace English chart.
Product decisions
Keep the source plain, and derive every performance control from it.
Leadsheet renders ChordPro inside the notes musicians already keep in Obsidian. Transpose and capo modes update keys, chord spellings, and diagrams together instead of forking the underlying song.
Set lists, performance mode, and duration-aware autoscroll extend the same chart into rehearsal and stage use without introducing a separate content system.
Released outcome
A distributed plugin with public source, tests, and release history.
Leadsheet is listed in Obsidian’s Community Plugins registry and has five public releases through v0.5.0. The repository includes the plugin, command-line tools, tests, and the specification behind its notation behavior.
Verified proof
What the current build demonstrates.
Notation
ChordPro · CJK-safe
Chords align per syllable without depending on fixed-width Latin text.
Performance
Transpose · set lists · autoscroll
The same portable source becomes a rehearsal and music-stand view.
