    Chord5

    Chord5

    A version of CHORD4 updated to cooperate with ChordSmith.

    CHORD5 is a ChordPro editor and renderer, useful for formatting and printing song sheets ("lead sheets"). This version of the CHORD program (based on CHORD4) has been modified to add functionality that enables it to cooperate with the ChordSmith program (available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/chordsmith/). This modified version has been renamed to CHORD5. Although it is revised to work with ChordSmith, it also works well as a standalone program. NOTE: If you have ChordSmith, you already have CHORD5. If you don't have ChordSmith, you should get it. CHORD5's MacOS interface has also been standardized to use the Command key instead of Ctrl, as well as moving the About and Quit menu selections to the standard MacOS locations on the screen menu bar. The help docs have been updated and some bugs eliminated. The original CHORD4 distribution is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/chord4/
