# Easy Reader

The Easy Reader (**menu Tools/Easy Reader**) always shows the 2 currently playing bars.&#x20;

It's make it easy to follow the playing chords and lyrics, even for of a complex song with many song parts.

When a bar annotation uses the [special **#** syntax](../../editors/chord-lead-sheet#special-syntax-for-easy-reader), only the relevant part of the annotation is shown.

Like most of the JJazzLab windows, you can undock the Easy Reader window to place it wherever you want (use the right-click menu of the window title):
