To create a chord chart you deal with three components.
There is just one large text data block where you define most of the chord chart.
In its simplest form, it just contains the chord names, similar to what you would write on a piece of paper.

Apart from the pure chord names, there are some characters that have special meaning to create more complex and rich chord sheets.

While the simple edit form only deals with the chord data, there is also an advanced form with many more fields.
Most form fields only contain additional information and are more or less self-explanatory.

There is a settings system that allows you to change the general layout and overall look of the chord chart.
