Embed Go PlayAlong on a website

Publish songs with an interactive tab player on a website.

You can add Go PlayAlong to a website or blog by embedding it with a simple html code.

Requirements

A cloud account is required to publish songs on your site. You can get started with a free account by signing up at cloud.goplayalong.com.

Embedding needs to be enabled for your account first. Please contact Go PlayAlong Support, and share the website address(es) for which you would like to enable embedding.

Embed a song or a songbook

1. Launch the desktop app and connect to your cloud account.
2. Select a song or songbook in your library.
3. Upload it to your cloud account.
4. Click Sharing under Cloud / Song details.
5. Turn on sharing.
6. Add email addresses to the invite list or enable public sharing.
7. Click the Embed tab.
8. Copy the HTML code and paste it into your website HTML.
9. Replace the EMBED-KEY property with your own key.

An embed key will be issued to you after your account has been prepared for embedding. The embed key is not a secret key, it can be seen by anyone.

Control who can have access to your content

User access can be controlled in two different ways within the sharing dialog. You can either share the song with individual users by adding their emails to the invite list, or you can turn on public sharing.

Your song won’t be listed in any public database by Go PlayAlong, even if public sharing is turned on.

Customize the player frame

Update the properties of the iframe tag as required to adapt the appearance to your web design. By default the width and height properties are set, but you customize more details by adding a style property.

Example: adjusting the border

Customize notation

Published songs will show up with your notation and animation preferences by default. However, users will have the option to override them with their settings. Notation and animation settings can be customized from Go PlayAlong desktop under Preferences.
