Help & how-tos

Chord charts, setlists, a rota, and a stage view — for your whole worship team.

Use it on your own, or sign in to share songs, sets and a rota with your church.

Type or paste a chart. Unison understands ChordPro and plain chord-over-lyric charts.

If a song shows as raw text, use the Convert button in the editor.

Colour, size, bold and font for chords — separate from the lyrics.

Bring in OnSong, OpenSong or ChordPro files — or a whole OpenSong backup — in one go.

Retire songs you're not using — one at a time, or many at once — without deleting them.

Print a single song, a plain setlist, or a full songbook for the band — laid out so it doesn't run to dozens of pages.

Guitarists and bassists can add tab that only they see — and it transposes with the song.

A vocal lead marks who sings what on each section; vocalists and leaders see the tags. On the Plus and Pro plans.

Change key from the stage view; set a capo and Unison shows the shapes to play.

Guitar and bass tab shifts its frets when you change key or add a capo.

Show chords as numbers relative to the key, for quick key changes.

A leader's key for a service never changes the key saved on your own profile.

Leaders add songs, choose the band's key for each, and assign who's playing.

A one-page setlist to hand out, or the full songbook with charts — laid out to save paper.

Set how many of each instrument you need, then auto-fill a month and tweak by hand.

One position per person per day; the MD must already be playing; WL can't also MD.

Months with a 5th Sunday rotate through four teams across the year.

Tap the days you can't play; auto-fill skips you and your leader can see it.

When your church turns it on, confirm the spots you're given — or flag ones you can't make.

Tap your spot to ask someone to cover, or to trade a spot with another person. On the Plus and Pro plans.

Turn alerts on for each device you use. On an iPhone or iPad, add Unison to your home screen first — Apple won't send them to a browser tab.

Admins add people, set roles and instruments; tap a tile to edit.

Role follows instruments until you set it yourself: Worship Leader ⇒ Leader; otherwise Member. Admin is separate.

You can't set someone else's password. They reset it themselves from the sign-in screen, and it takes about a minute.

A dark, high-contrast chart for playing live — with autoscroll and a foot pedal.

Choose light, dark, or match your device.

The app caches itself so it runs with no signal; changes sync when you're back online.

An extra code from your phone when you sign in — and what to do if you lose the phone.

We can read your songs, rota and team list to answer a support question. We can't change anything, and every time we look is recorded.

One page you can read in any browser with everything Unison holds about you — your details, your Sundays away, every service you were on, the songs you added.

Stop being part of one church, keep your login and any other church you play at.

Close your login and remove your details from every church. Your churches keep their songs and services.
