Re: [Denemo-devel] Chord Charts

I'm sorry for the delay in replying, I've been off-line, and I'm still
hobbling along after a system upgrade has left me with various
modernisms which are impeding work.

I think you meant "Fret Diagrams", in Denemo-speak "Chord Chart" is a
typeset of music that consists only of Chord Symbols and, optionally,
lyrics.

Do you mean it crashed? Can you describe what you did exactly if so?
Testing out what you say I see that the command Staffs/Voices->Staff
Properties->Chord Chart Staff is actually in the wrong menu, since it is
creating a new score which is to be a chord chart. I think that must be
what you meant - it wanted you to save your old score first. I'll try to
remember to create a bug report for this (a bit hampered at the moment).

again - you mean it was creating a new score?

So, as above, what you wanted is a staff that is Fret Diagrams?
