Help is welcome. JChordBox looks for some generous contributors. Several things can be done which don't need programmer skills:

• Create new music styles : This requires music skills to create a music style with a sequencer and JChordBox. (for example: jazz, blues, rock, funk, pop, ...)
• Translate documentation : The documentation needs to be translated as well as software messages.

If some java skilled programmers wish to build a front end (using javafx) like ChordPulse or help improve JChordBox, they are welcome !
