Collaboration
Sending lines to a co-writer
Move lyrics between writers on a shared song. Nothing arrives in someone's tab without them accepting it.
Your tab is yours alone, so getting a line from your tab into a co-writer's means sending it. They decide whether to take it.
That is the whole design. Nothing lands in anybody's lyrics without them agreeing to it.
Sending#
Open Arrange mode, the grid button at the bottom right, and select the lines you want. Tapping a section header takes the whole stanza.

- 1Into the agreed version
- 2Into a co-writer's mailbox
Send to Collaborator asks who should get them.
On someone else's tab the action changes to Send to Me, which pulls their lines into your own tab instead. Same idea, other direction.
The mailbox#
Lines you are sent wait in the mailbox, the button in the editor toolbar. It carries a count when something is waiting.
12
- 1Received and Sent are separate lists
- 2Read it before you decide
Each card shows who sent it, which song it belongs to, when it arrived, and the lyrics themselves.
- Accept adds them to your tab.
- Decline turns them down, and the sender sees that it was declined.
Keeping track of what you sent#
The Sent tab lists everything you have sent and what happened to it.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | They have not looked at it yet. |
| Accepted | It is in their tab. |
| Declined | They passed. |
| Expired | It sat too long. |
Resend puts a declined or expired set back in front of them, and lets you pick a different recipient.
Sending to the agreed version instead#
Send to Master skips the mailbox entirely and puts the lines straight into the shared version. Nobody has to accept it, because Master is the song rather than anyone's personal tab. See The Master.
