![]() But I do have a copy of Finale 2012 (which I haven’t used for ages) so I’ll take a look at that.ĮTA: I’m attaching a rough mock-up of how this could be presented in a better way - the idea being to put the emphasis on the words. Thanks for the file but unfortunately I couldn’t open it - it came out garbled for me. There is a hybrid of the two in common use where fretboard symbols are shown and named upfront rather than during the song (which continues to use letter-based chords). Because of their width fretboard symbols have an ongoing impact on text spacing whereas for the most part letter-based chord symbols can be accommodated without making changes to regular text spacing. Personally, I would use it for letter-based chord symbols and I think that would be the easier of the two options. ![]() It also places the emphasis on the words - something notation rarely, if ever, does.ĭo you envision this type of Layout showing fretboards or only letter-based chord symbols with the lyrics?įinale has a Template for this, but it appear to be a stand-alone which does not hook up with the rest of an arrangement the way I think you mean Dorico to do. Personally, I find it a really good way to study/review lyrics and harmonic development without getting completely sidetracked by melody and rhythm. Yet, the layout itself is ubiquitous - the internet is crawling with examples. I may well be wrong about this, but I’m not aware of this function existing in other notation software. assigning verses, spaces, line breaks etc.) and 3) the ability to export it as a jpeg (a text file?) and/or print it out. If it is possible, could there be 1) a view option to see a song presented this way, 2) editing functions to format the display (e.g. It occurs to me that while it looks almost childishly simple, in programming terms it may be difficult to achieve. Essentially it’s a standard text layout with chords superimposed above. ![]() This layout obviously differs from a standard lead sheet in that there are no bars, no staves, no melody etc. A request: Can a standard Lyric / Chord layout (very basic example below) be included as part of the ongoing development of chord notation within Dorico? ![]()
