Very nice. In testing this, I found some songs where a chord change happens very soon after the autoscroll moves forward to the next page. You don't have enough to time to read the next chord and make the change. Without being able to see ahead of the current song position at all times, its not quite functional.

Chordify does it differently: http://chordify.net/chords/family-of-the-year-hey-ma-loma-vi...

Hi, thanks for the comment. Chordify indeed does it differently. The difference is the presentation of time, whether time is linear (YouTab) or non-linear (Chordify). Since YouTab is also an editor where you can fix notation linear layout it used. I am aware of this issue and will fix this soon.

Hi HN,

A while back I posted this link as a proof of concept. It was well received. So here is an seriously updated version built upon the input I got. Thanks for taking the time to look.

This crashes Firefox 35.0.1 on Windows 8.1 when looking at the tab for Token of Time by Ensiferum. Other songs work fine though (tried two others), there seems to be something wrong with that specific one.

Hi, can you please share the URL? If you disable hardware acceleration on FF it will work, but I would like to investigate why that particular song crashes FF.

Thanks.

Impressed! Seen many of these in the past that are too inaccurate to be useful, tested this with a couple of my own songs and the results were great - down to being able to detect quick E / Emaj7 / E changes. Congrats :)

This is awesome! It worked perfectly for the song I tested it with.
