Richard an artist is a painter and artiste is a performer.
The original formatting 'st' was always an abbreviation for 'sub title' and anything could be written there but this latest version asks for an artiste's name after the st:.

Re: Notice to all Songwriters (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Please explain Jim. Written in the right way it should show the chords, in blue, above the lyric where it changes, written any other way it should remain the same as it was written.
But I did not know that songs from the Songwriting section could be added to a Songbook. A far as I know that should not be possible.

Topic: Notice to all Songwriters (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
The ChordPro formatting is once again working here. A slight change is that the {st:?????????} must be used and it expects to have a name here. I have made a slight amendment to James McCormick's Stickie -

Unless you state exactly what is happening when you try to add a song, no one can help you. The problem is with your computer and not with Chordie otherwise everyone would have the problem so please give details - the device are you using and specific details of the problem.

Hi Austin and welcome.
Yes, please tell us a little about yourself, your instrument(s), what music you like ect. Reading the 'Stickies' at the start of each section can be helpful so just relax and enjoy and remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question. If you do not know or are unsure, ask away.

Jim can certainly cook up a fire. But with the barn gone, I'm not sure he could ever top the fire of 2015. Probably the biggest campfire I've ever been to.
I well remember that fire:

Re: Gibson Facing Bankruptcy (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have never been a fan of Gibsons. I am not comfortable with the neck, the semi-acoustic (or hollow bodied electric, if you prefer) models are far too heavy and I have always considered them overpriced. However I would be very sad to see them go out of business and I am hoping for a turn round for them.

The eagle-eyed of you may have noticed that there is a 'new boy' Moderator.
There were a couple of sections that could do with an extra pair of eyes watching over them so, after 5 years and 3,000 posts, as well a getting a unique title, Tenement Funster is now one of the team and can now look forward to being paid annually his share of the imaginary pickles.
Welcome to the team Rick.

Topic: Member's Titles (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
After a discussion with the other Moderators we have decided that, from now, on anyone reaching 3000 posts can choose a title for themselves. That being the case, I have written to Rick (Tenement Funster) and asked him to get his thinking cap on.
We will still award Members with less posts a title if we feel that they deserve one for any reason like the 'Chief Hoarder' which has just been given (no prizes for guessing who received that ), but the landmark 3000 message posters deserves the option to choose their own.

There is only three things you need to become a great guitar player:

(3) More Practice........
