I'm a guitar player and computer programmer, and I wanted the ability to easily convert Ultimate Guitar-style "chords over lyrics" transcriptions into MobileSheets-compatible ChordPro transcriptions. Since I couldn't find a conversion utility that met my needs, I wrote my own: https://chords.menees.com/.
The Menees Chord Sheet Converter is a free, online, open-source WebAssembly application, so it requires a modern web browser on a desktop or tablet. I primarily use it from Windows in the FireFox and Edge browsers, but I've used it some from my iPad in Safari.
I'd appreciate any feedback you have on it. I hope it's straightforward to use. Paste or edit your input on the left, and it converts to the output on the right. You pick the output format: pure ChordPro, MobileSheets-compatible ChordPro, or chords over text. It can also convert from ChordPro into chords over text or from pure ChordPro into MobileSheets-compatible ChordPro (e.g., if you're copying songs from another app).
For the programmers on the forum, the conversion work is handled by the free, open-source Menees.Chords library for .NET. If MobileSheets is a .NET app, I'd love to see a Convert button built into MobileSheets (e.g., on the Edit File or Edit Song screens) that used the library. Maybe I need to post that in the "Feature Requests and Ideas" forum instead.
Thanks for putting in the effort to create this - I just discovered Mobliesheets and am planning to migrate from a previous App that uses Chord over Lyrics files. I like the advantages you get with Chord Pro files but was not looking forward to the time I'd have to spend converting 1500 files, or writing a script to do it. Thanks....
