Topic: Notice to all Songwriters

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 -
HOW TO POST ORIGINAL SONG TO SONGWRITING FORUM!: https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1957 to reflect this slight change.

Anyone wanting their songs to look all 'nice and purdy' and are having difficulties, please drop me an e-mail and I will see what I can do to help.

Re: Notice to all Songwriters

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.

Re: Notice to all Songwriters

Isn't the correct directive "artist":

http://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/Directives-artist.html

not "subtitle":

http://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/Direct … title.html

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:.
