       Show HN: Write lead sheets in a Markdown way and transpose in a
       second
        
       Hey HN,  I'm a software engineer with a passion for playing guitar.
       (https://ivanhsu.co)  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't sheet music and
       chord charts just another form of documentation in the world of
       music?  That's why I created Cord Land https://cord.land/landing !
       It'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'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:
       https://cord.land/landing#playground For more usage details, please
       refer to: https://cord.land/tutorial  The name "Cord Land" comes
       from "Cord" and "Chord" being homophones, representing chords.
       Let's keep our passion for playing guitar alive, even after work!

       | It looks pretty bad on Android Chrome, sadly - when a tab block

       | first letter of the word and the rest of it. Hope it's an easy
       | fix.
