About NashvillePro

A number system you can actually play.

NashvillePro turns the Nashville Number System into a tool you can actually play. Hear every degree, see every shape in every key, build progressions on the fly, and convert any chord chart into numbers in seconds.

How the NNS conversion works

Instead of “G, Em, C, D,” the chart just says 1 – 6m – 4 – 5. Change keys, change capos, change singers — the chart never changes.

    NashvillePro maps every chord to its scale degree — majors, minors, diminished, and slash chords included.

Nashville Number System FAQ

The basics, answered — for players who are brand new to numbers.

What is the Nashville Number System?

The Nashville Number System is a chord-charting shorthand that replaces chord names with scale degrees. Instead of writing G – Em – C – D, a chart reads 1 – 6m – 4 – 5, so the same chart works in every key.

How do I convert a chord chart to Nashville numbers?

Upload a PDF, DOCX, or plain-text chord chart to the NashvillePro converter, choose the original key, and the app returns a formatted Nashville Number chart with the chord positions preserved above the lyrics. You can edit the result and export it as a color PDF.

Do the numbers change when the singer changes keys?

No. That is the whole point of the system. The numbers describe function, not pitch, so one chart covers every key. In NashvillePro you switch keys with a single tap and the numbers stay put while the chord names update.

What do the minor and diminished symbols mean?

A lowercase m after a number means a minor chord (2m, 3m, 6m). A degree sign means diminished (7°). A slash such as 1/3 means the 1 chord played over the 3 in the bass.

Is NashvillePro useful for worship teams?

Yes. Worship and church bands are one of the biggest groups using the system, because vocalists often need different keys week to week. One number chart serves the whole team regardless of key or capo position.
