Common questions
Where are my songs?
In iCloud Drive, in the Sessions folder, as plain ChordPro text files. They sync to your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account. If iCloud Drive is off, songs stay on the device.
How do I add a song?
Tap +. Type or say the song's name, or tap Listen while it's playing. Then paste the chords from anywhere, snap a photo of a printed chart, open a ChordPro file, or write them yourself.
Does Sessions come with songs?
Your library starts empty: you bring the songs you play. To try every feature first, add the example songs (Settings › Example songs › Add them): made-up originals and public-domain classics. Sessions doesn't host or sell other people's songs, and never fetches charts by itself.
The tuner or What's playing? doesn't hear anything.
Check Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone on the device, and that Sessions is switched on.
Band mode can't find the others.
Everyone needs Sessions open, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on, and Local Network allowed for Sessions (Settings › Privacy & Security › Local Network).
The watch shows no songs.
Open Sessions on the iPhone once; the watch gets its songs from the phone.
How do I remove the example songs?
Settings › Show the example songs, off, or Hide the example songs at the bottom of Library. They're hidden, not deleted.
