# Transpose Chords

### Transpose Chords <a href="#toc165549795" id="toc165549795"></a>

Chord symbols, added with the annotation function (see [notizfunktion](https://docs.songbookplus.com/english/readme/notizfunktion "mention")) or through import from Midi/LRC/ChordPro (see [songtexte-und-akkorde-importieren](https://docs.songbookplus.com/english/readme/songtexte-und-akkorde-importieren "mention")), can be transposed afterwards.

**Tip:**

You can also change the appearance of chord annotations afterwards (color, size, etc.). If you adjust only one of the chord annotations in a song, all others in the same song will adopt the same appearance.
