I have only ever had italics for the chorus. i.e. {soc} before the chorus and {eoc} ant the end will give an indented and italic section.

Amy and Jim's hospitality is World Renowned! (even as far as Southern Portugal!)..... Home Baked Cookies, dangerous Bonfires, and Burnt Cow.

One to put on the "bucket list" for sure!

I can vouch for that. Well worth the travel from the Algarve to visit Amy, Jim, Steph and my special little pal, Katie. (Even if she does think I talk funny lol)

I have just checked his profile and found that although his last post was in January he was on site 25th March.

Hi Kim and welcome,

Although I am primarily a guitarist I do possess, teach and play 3 ukuleles (two baritone and one tenor). The uke is a fun instrument and I do play in a ukulele band so I am looking forward to seeing/hearing some recordings from you.

First step:       Get a new guitar
Second step:  Get two new hats
Third step:      Set yourself a challenge
Fourth step:    Allocate time daily for practice
Fifth Step:        Adhere to allocated times
Sixth step:        Keep your Chordie friends posted of progress

I intended 12 step but ran out of ideas and only made it half way lol

That's a great innovation...so in every case the chord and all extensions would be in the regular script and superscript is reserved for beats...what about chords that change on an "and" or an "uh"?

If you are good enough to do that then you know how to, and when to, so do not need it writing down lol

I do not think using C with a superscript 3.5; F with a superscript 0.5; G with a superscript 4 would work very well.

OK there are some limitations but the only way to show everything would be to write a full music score.

With my notation Superscripts are only for beats. Other chords are written C7, Csus, Cmaj7, Csus2, so I use normal script here, upper case for the chord, and lower case for the extensions and I always use bold print to be seen easier.

I started doing this years ago and so I have hundreds of songs written this way.

As I said you cannot use ChordPro as you are governed by their formatting and rules. I hand write in this manner as I find ChordPro too restricting.

Using ChordPro you are governed by their formatting so I always write songs out as below so I, and my students, know exactly what we are doing. Assuming there are four beats in a bar will put a chord for every bar, if it is less then I will add a superscript number for the beats it should be. Three dots after a chord indicates that it should strummed once and allowed to resonate for the allotted number of beats. (I will also use two dots to indicate that a chord is strummed once and immediately deadened and one dot to indicate that the chord is not played at all). The example below is the final couple of lines of James Blunts "You're Beautiful" showing 1, 2, 4 and 8 beats for chord and, in the final line single strums held for two, two and four beats.
