Transposable Chord Names

2005-08-24 03:42 pm

Are there any plans to include transposable chord names in NWC2? I couldn't see them mentioned in the list of new features.

I remember adding them to the wish list back in the days of about version 1.3 or 1.5 :-)

Even if not, being able to use a real flat in a chord name instead of a lower-case b would be nice.

There are a couple of fonts that would let you do that. Bach is one (the flat sign is the @ key). There have to be others that have letters and musical symbols...

G'day Tony,
In addition to the font suggestion from Robin, in NWC2 it is possible
to transpose text chords using Andrew Purdam's Text Chord
Transposing user tool available from the Scripto.

It is included in the current user tool starter kit that is available
