After reading your reply I have spent some time experimenting with this but I am unable to produce the chord grid you want... {define: G 0 x x 0 0 0 x} should work, I misread the zero fret as the e string when I read your post earlier which threw all the notes I mentioned out lol).

Sorry I am unable to assist; maybe someone who uses this formatting more often than I can throw some light on the matter.

Hi there,

G, B and D are the notes required for a G chord so the e, G, D and A that you are trying to use do not make a G chord. However I do not think that the programming knows that smile but it does not seem to like all the x's.#

Happy NGD, but where are the piccies??

Do you know that it is illegal to buy a new guitar and not put up photos? Barack Obama has assured me that this is so. smile

Clicking on the larger 'A' will increase the print size, the box controls where the grids (chords) are printed:

Oooops. Sorry LouM, I misread this and thought that you were an infrequent user of Chordie but on re-reading I realise you meant that the current problems were preventing you from gaining access as much as you wanted.

Please accept my apologies for my rather rude comment earlier.

If you read the thread next to this one and look at: http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic. … 52#p135952 you will see that a fix and an explanation has already been offered. If you read through to last post you will be better informed.

P.S. If, after putting up a public message, you cannot be bothered see if there is a reply, I cannot be bothered to e-mail you privately. smile

Per is confident that he has got to the source of the problem and sorted it so (fingers crossed) we should be OK now. Thank you for your patience.

Quotelawrence. If I read your post correct and you read the earlier posts in this thread you will see an explanation from Zurf on how to refresh the screen if an error message keep recurring.

Wrong I'm afraid. The 'bolt' is the truss rod adjustment and is ONLY for ensuring that the fretboard is straight and not curved. Any buzz is corrected by bridge, nut or fret adjustment. A competent luthier is best if you are not sure what you are doing.

Apparently there is an elusive bug that only seems to manifest itself under heavy traffic. Per is working hard to find and exterminate the little blighter, please be patient.

With Windows, the refresh button (the one with the two curved green arrows) is a good friend at the moment smile.

I stand corrected.

By the way I agree with you about rap. I am sure it should be spelt with a capital 'C' lol

You are obviously no child of the 60's smile. One had to live the experience of 'Beatlemania' to really appreciate their innovative music talents.

I'll second Amy's comment. THANK YOU!

Hi Burndog and welcome to Chordie,

Unless you nip into the 'Resources' and go into the last listing 'Change settings (instrument/tuning)' to change your instrument to uke, Chordie will assume that you play guitar and give you guitar chords.

Like most women you have to explain thngs carefully to her or she does not understand lol

Sadly my sight reading is too slow to be able to play from the score sheet, but I much prefer to listen to you playing it than having to work it out myself smile. I guess that makes me just plain lazy lol.

Not your problem but a server glitch. I saw it earlier and I contacted Per, who quickly sorted it out.
