A Dart parser for the ChordPro 6 song format.

Built for music apps and digital songbooks — parses .cho / .crd / .chopro files into typed chords, lyrics, metadata, comments, images, layout hints, and chord diagrams.

Installation

dart pub add chord_pro

Quick start

import 'package:chord_pro/chord_pro.dart';

final result = ChordPro.parse(source);
final song = result.songs.first;

print(song.metadata.titles.firstOrNull);
print(song.metadata.key); // first key (use `metadata.keys` for the full list)

ChordPro.parse returns a ParseResult with every song in the document (split on {new_song} / {ns}) plus any diagnostics. Use ChordPro.parseSong if you only want the first song.
