Obsidian Repertoire Plugin

A plugin for Obsidian that allows you to write chord charts using Roman numeral notation.

Features

• Write chord charts using Arabic numeral (e.g., 1, 2, 5/7) notation.
• Change the key of the chord chart easily using frontmatter.
• Supports altered chords (e.g., b3, #4).
• Supports slash chords (e.g., 1/5, 2/3).

Showing Chords

To show chords, use the code block type repertoire:

1 5 6 4

This will render as: C G Am F (assuming the key is C)

Parentheses

You can wrap a chord in parentheses to indicate an optional or passing chord. The parentheses will be rendered with the chord.

1 (5/7) 6 4

This will render as: C (G/B) Am F (assuming the key is C)

Key and Capo

You can set the key and capo in the frontmatter of your note:

---
Key: G
Capo: 2
---

This will render the chords in the key of G, but if you have a capo on the 2nd fret, it will display the chords as if they were in the key of A.

Tip: Displaying a whole setlist on a single page

The best way to display multiple songs on a single page is to keep each song in its own note, then create a new note that links to each song. Use the ![[note name]] syntax to embed each note into the setlist note.
