This is a library of Chord Progressions rewritten for RapidComposer from FREE iOS/Android apps...
(PAID one have NOT been included for evident reasons)

Will put more and rearrange this list based on this new version of progression editor! Feel free to correct anything (my theory is very limited) and ADD more if possible! (EpicStyles, byCategories e.g Blues/Phrygian/Aeolian/etc)...

Simply in-compress in DB folder in RapidComposerV3 folder...

Historic:
A library of Chord Progressions is really a good starting point for writing a song!
A lot of iOS and Android (fewer) apps allows selecting a 'chunk' of chords that 'goes' well together. Some uses 12,600 hit songs as a database (ProChords2.0 iOS). Yet THIS one has an INTERACTIVE CHART to add Functions like add tension, JazzUp Chords (a bit like Band in a Box here!), etc.

Where can I find them after copying to the DB directory, I thought would be in the progression browser but they are not there (running 3.31)

Yes, it should be in the progression browser. If the program is already running, you need to restart it. More than 500 interesting progressions categorized, I am still impressed

Yelluhakan, glad that you confirmed.

Same here, thats why I asked. Same after newstart.

I found no explanation yet. I am still checking this. It worked for me in old versions and new ones.

I suppose you have "MinorKey I", "Diatonic I" and other folders in DB after decompression, with .rcCHPR files that you can open in a text editor...

I copied all the directories from the first level (db/...) into the db directory:

Assuming that

Simply in-compress in DB folder in RapidComposerV3 folder

just ment: "unpack"/"unzip"/"unrar"

I confirm only 7zip v16.04 worked for me, WinRAR failed to uncompress the file.

Hello Richard,
all the files on the your screenshot are in Downloads. You need to move the Downloads\DB contents (2ndDominant, AddConcepts, Cadence, etc) to your Documents\RapidComposerV3\DB folder.

my screenshots where made after unpacking with winrar (win 7 64 bit), unpacking with 7zip brings same result for me.
