Re: [Denemo-devel] chord symbols

I tried one more thing.  I added a second voice to that top staff and put four quarter spacers in it.  On the fourth spacer, I added a Text Annotation and it looks right.  Still, is there a better way?

Thanks,

I tried the chord staff thing once but it wasn’t what I was expecting.  This time I did it exactly as you prescribed and it looks great.  Thank you Andreas and Richard!  I even figured out how to add a Bass Inversion.  I wasn’t expecting it on the Chord menu because editing chord symbols is on the notes/rests menu.  It makes sense now and I’ll know next time.

Might I bother with one more question?  What’s the correct way to add a Da Capo?  In my example, I want the D.C. at approximately the fourth beat of the second to last measure which will hopefully let the chord symbols shift back down like on the other lines.

I tried using my chord staff with a three beat Gm chord and a quarter spacer, but nothing renders when I add a D.C. al fine or a regular textual annotation, which isn’t surprising—the staff is hidden.  I don’t want to break my whole measure rest on the first visible staff because of a technicality either.

Thanks,

You have to use a separate staff at the top for the chord symbols, which you turn into a chord staff as Richard described (from memory: Staffs > Staff Properties > Chord Staff On/Off). You enter the chords as notes (e.g. c e g for c major), yet they display as chord symbols in the print (but not in the Denemo display). If you're using a MIDI keyboard, you can use the sustain pedal for entering chords (i.e. several notes at once).
