Several Enhancements: Better Printing, Correct Bass Volume


We have some great news! We've just enhanced our printing tool. Now, instead of just screen snapshots, you'll have beautiful b&w tablature, formatted specifically for printing. This means:
  • Practically no grey colors in printed tab. Everything is just black and white, and therefore - very readable.
  • Chord diagrams that are better suited for black and white printers.
And that's not all. We've also fixed a long-time bug with bass tracks volume. All bass tracks should sound correct from now on.

Thanks for using Songsterr!

New Feature: Hide songs without bass track


We've just launched a new feature allowing you to filter out songs without bass lines. No more loading the song just to find out that there is no bass track in it.

The link to hide songs without bass tracks is shown on artist and search results pages. Your selection will be remembered. Hope this saves you some time and effort.

Songsterr Goes Green: Partial Printing

We've just introduced small yet very useful feature - Partial Printing. Now, when you click on the print buton, you'll see a small dialog window that will allow you to:

  • Print the whole tab of the current track (this was the only option before).
  • Print only the selected measures of the current track.
So no more wasting tons of paper to print just these freaking hard 4 measures! Print less - save trees - stop global warming!;)

New Feature: Zoom

We've just introduced new zoom feature which is now immediately available to all Songsterr Plus subscribers.

Just look at the dropdown menu in the left bottom corner of the player. This list allows you to select current zoom mode. You can choose from values of 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150% and 200%. Each of these zoom levels can be useful in certain cases. You can work in 50% zoom mode when you know the part well and just need to see certain visual "anchors" while playing. And 200% can be used when you're standing far away from the display.

New Feature: Tags Navigation

Tags are not exactly new on Songsterr. We've been showing them on artist pages for several months already, but today we've added two new tag features - a navigation bar with most used tags and a tags list page.

Tags in list are shown sorted by popularity. We have more than 2100 tags including some interesting ones like:
Browsing Songsterr tabs now gets a whole new dimension and we really hope you find it useful. As always, feedback is welcome!
