Built for how musicians actually work
Chord charts, scores, lyric sheets, and diagrams — all in one place, with practice tools built in. Most tools do one thing. Counterpoint Studio does all of them.
Material Editors
Five purpose-built editors for every type of music material you need. Every editor produces print-ready output.
Scores
Write sheet music with standard notation and tablature. Full support for key signatures, time signatures, dynamics, articulations, and guitar-specific techniques like bends, slides, and hammer-ons.

- Dynamics and articulation marks
- Instrument-specific markings (guitar bends, piano pedals, and more)
- Multi-voice and multi-staff writing

Lyric Sheets
Rich text lyrics with chord anchors positioned exactly above the syllables where changes happen. The anchor system lets you place chords precisely — they stay locked to the right position even as you edit.
