# Pro7ChordEditor

*Yep, it does what is says on the box!*  

This is a very simple/crude chord editor for Pro7 on Windows: (For now, editing MT documents is blocked until I learn is this is safe/okay.)

*Mac version is on my "TODO one-day list"*

You can add/edit chords to the lyrics of a song by typing them in [ChordPro](https://www.chordpro.org/) format. (Close Pro7 first).  

Just type them directly inline with the lyrics text [in square brackets]. You can insert a chord by typing either [, ], or any letter from A-G.

Once saved, re-open Pro7 and the inline chords can then be displayed using the `Chords` option for textboxes on your stage display (the same as Multitracks).

NB: You cannot edit the text of the song - you can only add/edit chords.  

You can change the `User Key` to have Pro7 *automatically transpose* the chords from the `Original Key`.  

  

⚠️This is an early beta version not for production use.⚠️  

However - feel free to take the [latest release](https://github.com/greyshirtguy/Pro7ChordEditorWin/releases/latest) for a test-drive...   

...after making a 🦺BACKUP OF YOUR LIBRARIES🦺

**TODO:**

- Advertise for some public testers

- Test lots, gather feedback, discover and fix bugs until it's considered safe for general use.

- Currently it defaults to only looking at the *first* textbox on each slide - no support for 2nd/3rd etc textboxes...

- Probably make a new library for all presentations saved by this app (to keep them separated in a single folder)

- Perhaps add backups?

For safety it will NOT overwrite your existing files! Instead, when you save changes - it makes a copy of that file with a new name (`... (Chords)` suffix added).

*If you choose to edit the new copy with the `... (Chords)` suffix, saved changes will overwrite that file*

Usual disclaimers apply - this is an *unsupported* 3rd party app - and it's very early in development - Use at your own risk!
