This software, called ChordPro, comes as a Java version and is designed to format music sheets for guitar players.
Chord is a software program that allows users to read and edit ASCII files containing song lyrics. In addition to reading the lyrics, Chord also reads directives that describe the chords and tablature needed to play a song on the guitar, as well as formatting information. With these inputs, Chord generates a professional-looking sheet music version of the user's input file that can be printed directly from the program.
Chord comes loaded with a variety of features that are designed to make song editing and formatting as user-friendly as possible. For example, Chord includes a text editor that comes equipped with song editing functions. The program also allows users to create centered titles, with chord names displayed above the word. Additionally, Chord includes a graphical representation of the chords at the end of the song, the ability to display multiple columns on a single page, and a songbook index.
Other unique features of Chord include configurable fonts for lyrics and chord names, the ability for users to include multiple songs inside a single file, and the inclusion of the complete IS8859-1 character set. Users can also easily mark choruses and drag and drop files or directories into the editor.
To use Chord, users must have Java 2 Runtime 1.3.1 or later installed on their computer. Once installed, Chord provides an easy-to-use platform for creating, editing, and formatting song lyrics and chord progressions with ease.
