Re: [Denemo-devel] insert chord symbols?

[Ludo Beckers]

So that'd be four clicks per chord? chords->markings->chord symbols->edit chord symbols
Surely there must be a faster way (I hope!) because at about two chords per measure that'd be quite unpractical. 

There's something strange there also; when I enter a chord like that, then save the file and do CTRL-p (I use Evince as PDF-reader) I get "unable to open document. text/plain is not supported".

Right click and choose delete doesn't make the "score: arranger" button go away.
When I open the Lilypond-view I still see it there too.

Another thing I found is that in the file menu there's no "start new score from template", even though I have version 8.22 installed.

Sorry to expand my originally simple question like this.

Ancient bit of manual. Now Chords menu. Chord symbols are under Markings
(as they are a sort of Mark that is put above notes/chords).

You have a button saying Score: arranger I guess? If you left click it
you can set the arranger text to be empty, if you right click it you
should be get an advanced edit menu which has a Delete Directive button.
(It should really have a better editing interface like some of the
others, but no-one scripted it yet)
