For macOS · iPadOS · iOS

The Fonts Chords & Scales are currently (as of January 2024) no longer available for sale and download.
Existing customers will continue to receive support.

In 2024 – with an updated website and a new reseller – there will be new and exciting fonts for chord and scale diagrams available. Stay tuned.

I will switch to another sales platform because Fastspring, my previous sales platform, will charge fees that are not acceptable to me.
Thank you very much for your support and all the best,

Library · Spotlight Search

Chords and Scales come with a huge library of more than 10000 editable chord, scale and arpeggio diagrams for guitar which can be dropped into other documents in macOS, iOS and iPadOS at any time. You can save your own custom diagrams and add them to this library.
A quick and easy way to insert these diagrams into your documents offers Spotlight Search that comes with macOS.
Call up the Spotlight Menu and type Fmaj scale V.
As you type Spotlight builds the list of every match it can find by tracking the keywords, descriptions, and tags applied to the Chords and Scales diagrams in the library and sorts it by type.
The left side of the results will display the assorted neck diagrams. Choose Fmaj scale in the 5th position.
To the right preview and highlight the neck diagram and drag and drop it into the open document.
Repeat with Fmaj pentatonic scale, Fmaj7 arpeggio and Fmaj7 chord accordingly.
Edit the pasted diagrams by applying text features like font-size or color.
