I've always figured that since RG's chord ruler can display the chord names, RG should be able to add the chord names to the staff somewhere appropriate. I use the Text feature to add chord names. Clicking right above the note (or rest) where I want it to appear seems to work fine horizontally, and looks fine vertically on screen, but when printed the chord names come out all over the place vertically. Like they're always being set a fixed distance above the highest note on the staff. (So maybe a workaround is to add a row of invisible, zero-velocity notes of the same pitch at the top of the staff?) While it does help prevent them from overlapping high notes, it would be nice if they either lined up evenly, or could be manually lined up vertically (kind of select the chord names, click an Align button or something). Or maybe some of the code behind how RG places lyrics could be reused to place chord names in nice even lines? -- David [email protected] authenticity, honesty, community ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-user mailing list [email protected] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-user
