Topic: Artist Not in Chordie--Steve Forbert

Steve Forbert is not listed as an artist on chordie.com.  What is needed to get his name listed among other artists?  Also, the addurl.php link doesn't work any more as i tried to post my chords of "Hope, Faith, Love" by Forbert:
https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/stev … ve_crd.htm

Cheers!

Re: Artist Not in Chordie--Steve Forbert

Hi!  So sorry no one had replied to you on this yet!  I was just bopping around looking to see if there was anything left unanswered and happened upon your post!

This link has some information that you may find handy about the Chordie index and a little bit about how this works:  http://www.chordie.com/faq.php
If you'd like, you can send information onto the Admin, and he will take into consideration adding the artist and songs if they are hosted online.  It's best if they are in chopro format, as Chordie works best in that manner.  You can reach the feedback form here:  http://www.chordie.com/feedback.php

If you have a song hosted online somewhere in chopro format, you can use the rendering capabilities incorporated into the coding of this website to view the song in a manner that will allow you to transpose, print, save to your songbook, and then also edit the version saved to your songbook!  This of course means you'll have to be a little geeky though!  ha ha!

Start with this URL:
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/
and complete it with the LOCATION where your chopro file is saved

I don't believe this works with UG displayed songs however, because of course they want you to purchase their plan in order to download tabs/chordsheets from their website (fair enough).  sad  It DOES work if you upload chopro files to a location like google sites.  This is an example of a chopro file that was uploaded recently to a private google site by one of our members:  http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/sites … rue.chopro

Though, all that said, it does not automatically index the song either.  Let me know if I haven't totally confused you and you'd like more info.  wink

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
