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


Page Titles

In the advanced form, there are five different fields for entering values, which are displayed in the header of the chord chart.

  • a
  • b
  • c
  • d
  • e

Text lines and section titles

There are four different types of text lines.
The first character in the line determines what type of line of text it is.

- Text line
Line is interpreted as text annotation e.g. verse.

; Literal Text line
Line is interpreted as text annotation and spaces are preserved.

: Section Title

Text line rendered with a border. E.g. A and B sections.

= Section Title and Delimiter

Same as : but also delimiter of musical parts or sections.
The previous bar ends with a double line.
The next bar starts with a double line.

See the example Titles and Sections.


Blank lines

Just use a normal text line with just the leading dash - and no text.
The result is slightly more vertical spacing.

This can be useful for visually separating sections, think verse and chorus.

And sometimes it helps to prevent overlapping of symbols. E.g. when using 1st and 2nd endings.

See the example Blank Lines And Spaces - The Invisible Saviors.


Font Styles For Section Titles

ToDo


Floating Section Titles (short labels)

You can place the section title to the far left of the following line.
This is useful if you want to add bar numbers or to add short labels to the parts of the arrangement.

<- 5 <= A

See the example Add Bar Numbers.

See the example Floating Titles.


Three columns of text

You can use up to three columns of text for subheadings and notes.
Use a double space to "push" the text to the next column.

See the example Three columns of text.

Note that when using literal lines of text, all spaces are preserved, so the three-column system CANNOT be used with literal lines of text.
