Re: Stretching to the next plateau (12 replies, posted in Acoustic)
First step: Get a new guitar
Second step: Get two new hats
Third step: Set yourself a challenge
Fourth step: Allocate time daily for practice
Fifth Step: Adhere to allocated times
Sixth step: Keep your Chordie friends posted of progress
I intended 12 step but ran out of ideas and only made it half way ![]()

Re: Repeating Chord format (11 replies, posted in About Chordie)
That's a great innovation...so in every case the chord and all extensions would be in the regular script and superscript is reserved for beats...what about chords that change on an "and" or an "uh"?
If you are good enough to do that then you know how to, and when to, so do not need it writing down ![]()
I do not think using C with a superscript 3.5; F with a superscript 0.5; G with a superscript 4 would work very well.
OK there are some limitations but the only way to show everything would be to write a full music score.

Re: Repeating Chord format (11 replies, posted in About Chordie)
With my notation Superscripts are only for beats. Other chords are written C7, Csus, Cmaj7, Csus2, so I use normal script here, upper case for the chord, and lower case for the extensions and I always use bold print to be seen easier.
I started doing this years ago and so I have hundreds of songs written this way.

As I said you cannot use ChordPro as you are governed by their formatting and rules. I hand write in this manner as I find ChordPro too restricting.

Re: Repeating Chord format (11 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Using ChordPro you are governed by their formatting so I always write songs out as below so I, and my students, know exactly what we are doing. Assuming there are four beats in a bar will put a chord for every bar, if it is less then I will add a superscript number for the beats it should be. Three dots after a chord indicates that it should strummed once and allowed to resonate for the allotted number of beats. (I will also use two dots to indicate that a chord is strummed once and immediately deadened and one dot to indicate that the chord is not played at all). The example below is the final couple of lines of James Blunts "You're Beautiful" showing 1, 2, 4 and 8 beats for chord and, in the final line single strums held for two, two and four beats.

Absolutely great Russ. A song I do not know and have never heard before so I will have to go and listen to the original for comparison; second thoughts, why bother, I like yours anyway

Re: Editing and printing a page delineated songbook (9 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Aikido,
Try again now each song should now start of a fresh page. You will, of course, have to edit the songs individually to fit on one or two pages.

Re: Editing and printing a page delineated songbook (9 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Aikido,
I can see what you are asking. I do not think that during the debugging any of us even thought of printing out a whole songbook. I printed several individual songs and, as far as I know, there are no problems there but I can see that printing a whole book does not separate the songs.
I will report this to the powers that be and see if we can come up with a solution.

Re: Print song without the adds? (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
I have no problem here, I have just printed a song to verify that all is OK. So please be a little more specific and explain how far you are getting before you have a problem or are you not even seeing the 'Print' icon? Also letting us know what device, operating system and browser helps us in giving correct advice to you.

Re: anyone else notice (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Yes Scott is known about, I think it as one of the first things I reported after the update, and it will be brought in at a later date. Unfortunately some of these things take time to implement and eliminating the initial bugs in the system has had to take priority. I hope it will not be too much longer but I do not know when.

They go back to 2013 and they are all about 'scrolling'. If you click on 'PROFILE' in the light blue bar and scroll down to 'Posts and topics' you can select 'View all your posts' and see them. (So you see, you do not have to remember, Chordie will do that for you

Re: Whos playing where? (14 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Tonight 5th March I have a gig as a part of the Algarve Ukulele Band in Boliqueime. I will mainly be playing a Nashville tuned guitar although a standard one and a baritone ukulele will be part of my weaponry
There will be a couple of songs that I take lead vocal in.
