There are two main methods, both are illustrated in the examples in File->Open->Open Example LeadSheet.denemo LeadSheetNamedChordSymbols.denemo In the first of these you enter the chords on an extra staff above your guitar part which you make into a Chord Symbols Staff (*) In the second of these you have to enter chord names which are attached to notes using the command (**) (*) Command: Chord Symbols (Off/On) Typesets the music on this staff as chord symbols (off/on). Location: ObjectMenu->StaffMenu->StaffPropertiesMenu Internal Name: ChordStaff (**) Command: Edit Chord Symbols Allows chord symbols to be added to the current note. E.G.cis:dim7 for c-sharp diminished 7th. See Lilypond docs for notation Location: ObjectMenu->NotesRests->Markings->ChordSymbols Internal Name: EditChords The first method gives more flexibility in placing the symbols horizontally, while the second takes up less space in the Denemo Display, but requires you to know the chord names. There is a palette for entering chords View->Select Palette to Show->Insert or Append Chords for use with the first style of entry. This has about 30 chord types in it, but you can add more with yet another command ...
