Moving from
SongbookPro.

1. Export from SongbookPro

1. In SongbookPro, open Settings ▸ Backup ▸ Export.
2. Save the .sbpbackup file somewhere you can reach from the device you'll use Songroost on.

Your SongbookPro library isn't changed by any of this, so you can keep using both while you decide.

2. Import into Songroost

1. Open Playlists, tap + List and choose Import SongbookPro. On an empty library it's also on the first screen.
2. Choose the .sbpbackup file. You see a preview first.
3. Tap Import. Nothing is written until you do.

Songs that already exist in your Songroost library are matched by title instead of duplicated.

What comes across

• songs, with title and artist
• charts, converted to ChordPro so they transpose and show chord diagrams
• setlists, in order
• capo, tempo, duration, notes and each song's transpose setting

What doesn't

• song keys: SongbookPro stores them in an undocumented code that we couldn't decode reliably, and a wrong key is worse than none. Add the key afterward, or keep a {key: G} line in the chart
• handwritten notes and drawings
• songs whose chart is a PDF or image; the preview lists any it can't bring

3. What to do next

Rate the songs you play so setlists can show how ready they are, then open the Practice tab. The ChordPro cheat sheet covers the chart features Songroost reads, such as chorus blocks, grids and flow. If you're just starting out, get your first library together walks through the rest.

If you go back

Export any selection of charts as a ChordPro .zip from the catalog. SongbookPro and most chord apps import ChordPro.
