I like your little interspersed Beatles quotations, (they don't own "Every Little Thing"; Last Edit "Yesterday") did I miss some?

It really is starting to be a bit of an issue, just printed out 4 copies of a 30 song set for a gig tomorrow and having to edit the errata by hand on every copy.

I guess you still came out ahead verses going to the local music/book store and paying for the sheet music individually. I hate to sound like an old coot but back in the day one would have to sit down and figure the song out totally by ear or break out the wallet and spend some hard earned cash for songbooks. Appreciate what we have available, it's a privilege, not a right..........

I totally agree, while I also got used to the edit feature, I understand it's a legal issue. Chordie may (or may not) exist in the future - so you better not depend on it for gigs (as with all web based content). The edit feature leads to the need of storing information on Chordies servers other then those typical for a web based index. See Chordie as what it can be (legally - for the time being): a very comfy way of searching chordpro files.

Being an old coot myself, I well remember hours spent in front of a tape recorder guessing the words and the chords.  Funny thing is - when I look at my Chordie Songbook: the songs in there I own in real songbooks, as well. But it is much nicer having my dearest songs online, than carrying them around in heavy volumes (with one or two songs each).

Enjoy but don't depend!
