Default Re: Chord Names

Hi Ralph,

In the Conductor's score, the chord names will be on the top staff, in concert key. There is already a task in the works for specifying which staff/staves chord names appear above in the conductor's score.

If you're going to be printing separate scores for the various musicians, the chord names will appear on each part in the correct instrument transposed key, unless you toggle the chord names "off" for a particular part.

In the past, I have simply used Free Text to do this, but if Mark built in a way to do this, I'd like to know...and of course, Free Text doesn't transpose.
Not to mention that if you print each part, you then have Free Text AND regular Chord Names

So for now, if you want to see the chord names near a particular instrument, you may want to temporarily move those staves to the top of the Conductor's score (using Staff/Setup), then move them back to their "proper" position when you're done.

ttfn,
Sherry
