Guitar Cords

I was just wondering if there is any way to put the chords above the staff and like a slash or something for every chord played.

Put your cursor where you want the chord name, then use insert text (keyboard shortcut X). In the 'Expression' window type in your chord name (i.e. C7, d min, etc...), and pick the 'Display Font' you want (maybe 'Staff Bold' for this function). You can do the same thing for the slash (using the forward slash key). If the text isn't large enough for your needs, use the page setup: fonts tab to set a user font to a larger point size. If you are interested in guitar tablature, then NWC doesn't directly have this. However, I have seen guitar tab fonts, which I'm sure you could download from somewhere on the net. After installing that font in your fonts folder, you can set that as another of your user fonts using the same procedure just described.
