Re: Formatting ChordPro music charts
Hi Mark, Glad to be of assistance. I just took another look at it, and realized that there's still a case where my algorithm didn't work: when the lyrics under the chord are shorter than the chord. The following adapted version should fix that for you: ## on mouseUp put ChordProPrintText(field ChordProText) into field PrintText end mouseUp private function ChordProPrintText pChordProText local tPrintText, tLine, tIndex, tInBracketFlag, tChords, tLyrics repeat for each line tLine in pChordProText put empty into tChords put empty into tLyrics put false into tInBracketFlag repeat with tIndex = 1 to the number of characters in tLine if char tIndex of tLine is [ then put true into tInBracketFlag if tChords is not empty and char -1 of tChords is not space then put space after tChords end if repeat (the number of characters in tChords) - (the number of characters in tLyrics) times put space after tLyrics end repeat else if char tIndex of tLine is ] then put false into tInBracketFlag else if tInBracketFlag is true then put char tIndex of tLine after tChords else put char tIndex of tLine after tLyrics if the number of characters in tChords the number of characters in tLyrics then put space after tChords end if end if end repeat put tChords return tLyrics return after tPrintText end repeat return char 1 to -2 of tPrintText -- no trailing return end ChordProPrintText ## Cheers, Jan Schenkel. = Quartam Reports PDF Library for LiveCode www.quartam.com = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.

Thank you very much for the script, it works exactly as expected. Even with chords like Dsus2, F#, Bb, Cm7, etc. So thanx again. Now to finish this project... another story.

Re: Formatting ChordPro music charts
Yes it would - that's how most guitar tab music sites will display it. Otherwise it's a little trickier to figure out the string width and insert appropriate 1 pixel wide spaces.

Re: Formatting ChordPro music charts
Ooh, another breakfast cereal challenge - what better way to start the day? :-) Here's my take on it; only lightly tested but looked alright in my variations: ## on mouseUp putChordProPrintText(fieldChordProText) intofieldPrintText end mouseUp private function ChordProPrintText pChordProText local tPrintText, tLine, tIndex, tInBracketFlag, tChords, tLyrics repeat for each line tLine in pChordProText put empty into tChords put empty into tLyrics put false into tInBracketFlag repeat with tIndex = 1 to the number of characters in tLine if char tIndex of tLine is [ then put true into tInBracketFlag else if char tIndex of tLine is ] then put false into tInBracketFlag else if tInBracketFlag is true then put char tIndex of tLine after tChords else put char tIndex of tLine after tLyrics if the number of characters in tChords the number of characters in tLyrics then put space after tChords end if end if end repeat put tChords return tLyrics return after tPrintText end repeat return char 1 to -2 of tPrintText -- no trailing return end ChordProPrintText ## HTH, Jan Schenkel. = Quartam Reports PDF Library for LiveCode www.quartam.com = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.

I want to build a desktop app that would allow the user to edit the song chart, and then print it, all using the ChordPro format. Editing the chart looks like this: [A]This is my [D]song [A]It's not very [D]long [A]Hey. When printed it looks like this: A D This is my song A D It's not very long A Hey The key is printed directly above where the key was entered into the chart. The printing script would have to read each line, looking for the opening [ square bracket, look for the next closing ] square bracket, and format that content into a line including spacing based on the line it found the square brackets on. I'm not sure how to do that. Anyone with some ideas on this?

Jan, does your routine require that it be a monospaced font? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
