Teleprompter Musician Mode: The Ultimate Solution for Following Lyrics and Chords
If you're a musician, you've experienced the frustration of trying to read lyrics and chords on a tablet that falls mid-performance, or having to turn sheet music pages at the crucial moment of a song. PromptNinja's Musician Mode was created specifically to solve these problems, offering a perfect experience for following your lyrics and chords during live performances, rehearsals, or recordings.
Why Musicians Need a Special Solution?
Unlike presenters who read continuous text, musicians need perfect vertical alignment between chords and lyrics. A single misaligned character can make you play the wrong chord at the wrong time. Musician Mode uses monospaced font and special formatting to ensure each chord sits exactly above the correct syllable.
Problems Every Musician Knows
- Paper Sheet Music: Hard to read in dark environments, blown away by wind, and you need to stop playing to turn pages.
- Slipping Tablets: Small screens, stage light reflections, and always when you need it most, the battery dies.
- Generic Apps: Not made for musicians. Chords misalign, text is too small, and auto-scroll doesn't work with the music's rhythm.
- Memory Dependence: Pressure to memorize dozens of songs, fear of forgetting lyrics mid-show.

How to Format Lyrics and Chords for Musician Mode
Musician Mode automatically detects lines containing chords (identified by patterns like "Am", "G7", "C#m", etc.) and applies monospaced formatting to ensure perfect alignment. See an example:
C Am F G I just want a love that's gonna last Dm G7 C E7 It doesn't have to be forever since forever always ends
PRO Tip: Use spaces (not tabs) to position chords. Monospaced alignment ensures it will work perfectly on any screen.
