Instrument is a global choice in the songbook. You can not make a songbook with multiple instruments.


Not that you have to press "change" after you have selected the instrument.

Good suggestion.


It is now implemented. Still experimental, so please report any bugs.

Your private songbook will still be there. Your public songbook will be but offline if some of the songs are not available.


Saving a backup is always a good idea.

Chordie do not host songs. It indexes them, and formats them on the fly.


Your changes to the songs are stored.


If you publish the book (in the menu below your songbook) your songbook will be availiable online, but it is still really only links to songs. The songs might still disappear if the original site goes down..

Please send me exactly what problems you are experiencing, and Ill see if it is possible to fix it.

Please report all errors. They are very easy to fix.


If you find "at least 10 charts", it is probably a systematic error. It might be that "maj" are interpreted wrong or something. I am definetely not an expert on music theory, so I really need help here.


If it is individual errors, the best form of an error report is like this:


The chord is defined like this:

{define: C# 4 1 3 3 3 1 5}


But it should be:

{define: C# 4 1 3 3 3 1 1}

Sounds like a cache problem. Try reloading the page by pressing shift-reload. You migh also try to delete IE's page cache.

No songs are hosted at Chordie. It is a search engine that does some on-the-fly-formatting of the songs.


You can however sumit urls for indexing.

Yes, it can be used, though it makes it a bit harder for Chordie to guess the filetype. Windows can make life hard for you if you want to save as chopro, but it should be possible. The trick is usually to select *.* as filetype, and write mysong.pro as songname.


You can also rename it from the command line. Save the song mysong.txt in c:songs.


* Go Start-run, and write "cmd".

* write "cd songs"

* write "rename mysong.txt mysong.pro"


You can actually use the Chordie engine to format your own songs. You can do that by combining your web-address and a link to Chordie. Take a good look at this url, and you will figure it out:


<a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.geocities.com/guitar_zan_randy/still_crazy.txt" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … m/guitar_z an_randy/still_crazy.txt</a>

It is implemented...<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">


At the bottom of the songbook there is a link saying "send songbook to a friend".

That did look terrible.


What do you see if you go to this song and try to print it directly?

Yes, this is OK to post. I do not see any problems with small snippets like this.


A tips for posting tabs, is to mark it as "code". Check the icon with brackets. It is to the right, and looks a bit like this {::}


Then the tab is typeset with monospace font, and will appear like this:


<div class="pre"><pre>
----------------------0---------
------------------1------3---1--
-------------2------------------
---0---0---4--------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
</pre></div>

I mainly use Firefox for testing, so I might have missed this. Is anybody else experiencing similar problems?

Great that you want to help Chordie...<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile"> I have a small profit on T-shirts/Mugs, and use these to buy new T-shirts for people contributing, bug squeeze competitions etc. In sum these are zero-profit, free advertising effects.


The distributors of the Jamorama courses have given me a good deal. These are excellent guitar courses that I would recommend even if I did not get this deal.


So if you need a high quality guitar course, and would like to support Chordie at the same time, follow the Jamorama link on the fron page.

The "disappearing white space"-problem is now fixed.


I am sorry this took so long time.


Enjoy the white space.


A few songbook-edit related questions to you all: Do anyone feel the need to edit songs without adding them to the songbook? Like fixing a couple of errors before printing a song. Should it be possible to enter new songs (from private archives) into the songbook?


If there is such needs, Ill implement it. If not, I will use my time squeezing small, irritating bugs... <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">

Thanks for the fantastic feedback, Dadandaus.

The last couple of weeks there have been few visible changes on Chordie. I have however been very busy upgrading the servers.


My server stats has definately improved. However it is the end user experience that counts.


Has any of you noticed any speed improvements surfing Chordie the last few days?

Really a great idea, blindacre.


Unfortunately Chordie is just a hobby project of mine, and I am afraid this would just take too much of the time I have availiable.


However I support the idea 100%. If anyone (you, blindacre?) would be willing to set up such a page, I will support anyway I can. Please let me know.

Could you go to "print preview", then take a screenshot, and send it to me (<a href="mailto:admin&#64;chordie.com" target="_blank">admin&#64;chordie.com</a>)?


Please also try to reload the page using "shift-reload".

I am sorry. Just a typo. It took seconds to fix.


Strange nobody reported it earlier.


Thanks for reporting it. Could you verify that it looks better now? (No "layout/accuracy" and no stars).

This is fixed now. I have just upgraded the chordie servers. Things are supposed to be a lot faster.


Unfortunately I made some errors in the process, but now it is fixed.
