Key and Tempo

Notes: below, when you see "⌘", on mac think "Command" and on windows think "Control". When you see "⇧", think "Shift".

While a song is playing you can press "⌘ - [" or "⌘ - ]" to lower or raise the key, respectively. Or press "⌘ - \" to re-set it to the original key. This does not affect the tempo.

Also, you can press "⌘⇧ - [" or "⌘⇧ - ]" to slow down or speed up the tempo, respectively. Or, press "⌘⇧ - \" to reset it to the original tempo. This does not affect the key.

These items are also available under the Controls menu.

You can adjust key and tempo on any song (or group of songs) that is not playing by changing it directly in the browser window. The Sort Column for "Key Adjust" or "Tempo" must be showing to be able to change them. If those columns are not showing, click here on Sort Columns to learn how to hide and show them.

Pro version only

If the song belongs to a singer, then that setting will be remembered permanently. You can also set the key via the popup menu listed with the song itself.
