# Song Cage

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/547249/Song-Cage

> Song Cage is a songwriting application that combines tools for chord progression building, lyric writing, and music theory on a single workspace. It is designed for songwriters, composers, and musicians working with guitar and piano, providing a centralized environment to develop song ideas before recording.

The application includes a chord palette with a range of diatonic, borrowed, and secondary dominant chords. Guitar fretboard diagrams and piano voicings are provided for each chord. A timeline feature allows users to arrange chord blocks, organize song sections, and synchronize lyrics with rhythm and melody on a beat grid. Context-aware chord suggestions adjust based on surrounding progressions and melodies. A modulation panel helps map pivot chord routes between keys. The lyric workspace includes a rhyme finder that displays perfect rhymes, slant rhymes, and synonyms grouped by syllable count.

The platform connects chords, melody, and lyrics, enabling users to start with any element and expand from there. Melody input snaps notes to chord tones, and the chord palette adjusts to match existing melodies. Audio recording features allow real-time performance capture, with playback and accompaniment options. Export formats include PDF chord sheets and MIDI files. Collaboration tools allow multiple users to work on shared songs with view-only or editing permissions.
