The manual is currently being revised, so the order, content and title are subject to change. And it's a bit messy! as of February 2025
Just enter the chords.
Every chord will get on its own bar.
You don't have to use special delimiter chars between chords.
Just use a blank.
One chord makes a bar
Put four chords in a line
Just write the chordnames as you would do on paper.
To put multiple chords in a single bar there is a special char _.
Think of it as "glue" to paste multiple chords together.
E.g. Dm7_G7 Cmaj7 will result in two bars.
One split bar with two chords (Dm7 G7) and one bar with just one chord (Cmaj7).
See the Example split bars.
You can indent bars by preceding them with one ore more X.
That is useful to make 1st and 2nd endings easier to read.
Use two lines and indent the bars of the 2nd ending to align them vertically with the 1st ending.
See the Example 1st and 2nd endings.
See the Example 1st and 2nd endings.
E.g. (A B) |:A B:|
You can note the number of repeats by writing (A B)3x or (A B)x3
See the Example repeat sections.
If the arrangement does not fit on a single page you'll have to add a page break.
E.g. + or + Chorus.
The latter as a shorthand for + followed by a = Chorus to start a new section.
See the Example Page Breaks.
A page break will be added automatically if the maximum lines per page limit is exceeded .
