I think it is good for the musician to have a dedicated track to just display only chord progression for the song without the lyric? For example (8 chord inputs per line):
I’ve tried the chord track too, but I must also input the lyric in the track to make it work. I need to display just the chords only, and no lyric on the chord track.
One more question. I know, I’m pushing… Can you can enable or allow spaces to be within the bracket so I can have 2 chords in a single measure? 2 chords in the same measure are used in a lot of songs.
I tried to add another chord in the same measure but it became a text and is out of place.
I’m afraid that isn’t possible as it would break the ChordPro format AbleSet uses. Instead, you could maybe do one line of chords per measure, so your chords would look like this:
[Bdim] [E]
[Am]
[Dm]
[Am] [Bmdim/E]
[Am]
This would also allow you to more precisely time the chords in the arrangement view to sync them with your song.
Leo,
You made so many great things about Ableton so much better!
Leo or anyone trying Chord stuff.
Is is possible to have chords not display over lyrics if we wanted to add a bar line indicator?
|[C] |[F] | [Am] |[G] |
Would display like
|C |F |Am |G |
My main hope here is for bar lines above or below the lyrics. It looks like it would be combining two tracks from Ableton. The chord highlighted for current I see happens each change for each midi clip.
I tried the progress bar when I put four chords in a clip and it was cool but not like the current clip highlight when doing one bar per line.
I like that Ableset can do the bar per line and could see that full phrases of fours or eight bars (or what ever the song needs) would be good per line for taking in a phrase as the cue. Also I like that editing chords in their own track creates the timing for the changes.
I will look at importing images but I know static images lack key change options. I love that image imports is even an option since a picture is worth a thousand words.
