Import Songs & Charts by Drag-and-Drop New
Drag chord or lyric files into the Media Library (or onto a playlist) and LightLoop parses them — ChordPro, OnSong (including chords-over-lyrics), CCLI SongSelect, and plain text, several at once. Files with chords import as a Song, taking the title and key from the file (or the filename) and keeping CCLI/copyright/tempo metadata out of the lyrics. Files without chords prompt you to import as Song lyrics or a Sermon — for sermons, mark scripture by putting a[John 3:16] reference above the verse text.
See Importing songs & charts.
Instrumental / Karaoke Tracks New
Remove the vocals from a song’s audio with a single Instrumental switch on the Audio card — great for congregational singing, rehearsals, and “vocals out” moments. Switch on and LightLoop generates the instrumental in the background (about a minute) and starts playing it on your outputs automatically; switch off to restore the original vocals. The original audio is always kept. It also works with transposition — the instrumental is built from the current track, so it comes out in your transposed key. See the Instrumental section.Song Transposition — Pitch-Shift Audio & Chords New
Change a song’s key without re-recording. Open a song’s Audio card and click Transpose — pick the from and to keys and LightLoop pitch-shifts the track to match while preserving its tempo. When you assign audio, LightLoop also auto-detects its key in the background. The original file is always kept, so revert is one click. Turn on Sync to Audio and the stage chord chart’s display key follows every transposition automatically. See the Transposition section.Chords on Stage — ChordPro & OnSong with Smart Key Detection New
Add inline ChordPro[chords] to any song and they render above the lyrics on stage and confidence displays — the TV Wall Stage Display and the iOS Remote’s Stage Mode — while the audience screen stays clean, lyrics-only. LightLoop reads the chords and detects the key with real music-theory scoring, using the dominant chord to tell a key from its relative minor (Em C G D → G, Bm D A G… → D). Set a separate Display key to transpose the whole chart on the fly; chord charts and the “Next” preview transpose too.
Paste a ChordPro or OnSong chart and LightLoop imports it: chords-over-lyrics become inline chords, Verse 1 / Chorus: / REPEAT CHORUS section labels are recognized (dim cues on stage, hidden from the audience), and Key:/title metadata is read from the header.
See the Chords section.
