Hi Roz123r
There no way to alter songs in your songbook without the edit function sorry..
But there's a nice appp. at http://webchord.sourceforge.net/ which alows you copy paste your song from Chordie for editing and then converting to Chopro format that can be saved to your hard drive.
The songs in your songbook can be reverted back to plain text by pressing the "Chopro" button on the right of the screen so they can be copied and then pasted in to apps for editing at sourceforge..
hope this helps and welcome to Chordie

Hi Selso
You guys did a good job on this. Reminds me of some of the stuff "Madness" did.
Well done

Hi cw4rotorhead
There is no direct way to save your songbook from Chordie to your hard drive at the moment sorry..
The best way is to print out your songs and take them with you.. A bit old fashioned
or copy and paste them into word or something similar and then save to hard drive this may alter Chopro format though.

I’ve lived all my life in the embrace of NHS and I’m grateful for it.
All my family and myself have benefited from it and in general has received excellent treatment. I speak as I find….

The concept of free medical health care has become diluted over the years mainly from the great success of the system. People live longer healthier lives and because they do greater and greater demands are placed on the  huge complex system.
Still it works and works well for most of the people who need medical attention of all kinds. With such a huge organisation problems occur  it’s inevitable but if your on the receiving end of the problem it’s no comfort to know it.
What the future will bring to NHS only time will tell. I only hope it will survive much as it now but change will happen I know.
Socialism in UK has more or less been buried by Labour over 12years for good and bad and mostly there’s not much difference in policies between the major political parties..

Hi daddy
Been there with kids and grandkids. Somehow you can see the funny side of it when it's a grandkid not so much when it's your kid...

First I will say I think the idea is good and personally would be for it...

Russell a few months back had a songwriting and recording competition which was held over a number of weeks but only received 2 entries mine and Rogers so entries where thin on the ground..
Judging not sure how that would work and the prizes well I'm not sure who would donate them..

Sorry to be negative just mty thoughts here.

Hi Selso
I asked this question many moons ago and this was the answer I got from James at the time. I used it and it works ok.. It's a work around

Here is how:
You will 'edit' the forum song into the body of a song that is already in your songbook.
1.  Pick a 'victim song' in your personal songbook, one that you can change into the Songwriting Forum song.
2.  Copy the forum song's lyrics and chords and title and subtitle.
3.  Go to your songbook and open the 'victim song' using the green 'edit' button at the end of it's listing.
4.  Now, in the editing pane (the upper one) just zap everything in the victim song EXCEPT it's {t:title} and {st:subtitle} lines.  If you delete these lines, the index will no longer recognize the page - so leave those lines intact and delete everything else.
5.  Now, just paste the forum song into the edit pane just below the victim song's title and subtitle.  Change the forum song's title and subtitle lines into 'comment' lines: {c:title} and {c:subtitle}.
6.  Hit the 'save' button between the panes.  The forum song is now in your songbook, however it is listed there under the title and subtitle of your selected victim song.
7.  You can return to your songbook now and open the forum song now using the regular method, transpose, print, etc.
8.  The forum songs should remain in your private songbook - don't publish that songbook, otherwise it would be the end of civilization as we know it!

Like I said, this method is just a work-around . . . but it yields a nice result.  Let me know it you have any problems.  James

Oh dear I've just remembered the "edit" button doesn't work Sorry......
