Topic: small correction needed

I didn't know where to post, I think here would be the appropriate place.

On the  "Si Dieu Existe" by Claude Dubois tab, on 2 places in the song there is this line:
Me laisse inanimé D-D7.

The D-D7 should be over the line, so that the Transpose chords option would affect it.

Beside that I would like to tell that this site is awesome, and the Transpose chords option is totally incredible^^

Nice work! smile

Re: small correction needed

Hi Lover80y and welcome to chordie!

The corrections you describe can easily be made by any registered chordie user.  First, move the song into your songbook.  Then, simply click on 'correct song' at the bottom of the song's page.  This will open up an editing screen where you can make the necessary changes and also eliminate any extra stuff.  Hit the 'save' button (between the the edit panes).

If you want, you can also update the 'public' listing in chordie's index with your corrected version.  It is easiest simply to copy your whole corrected song, zap the entire old version, and then paste in your whole corrected song.

Sounds complicated, but isn't really.  Being able to edit and correct songs is a very cool chordie feature.  James

Re: small correction needed

Hi james! This is great!
I've corrected the tab, corrected some misspellings, and added a comment...

2 funny things though:
-It's still writen "Corrected by James McCormick" at the end (so i took the liberty to sign at the bottom of my comment)
-Unlike the preview that comes out perfect, when I hit the save button, all the the accents "é" "à " "â" change for "é" "Ã" "è"... can I fix this somehow?

While i'm writing to you, I would like to offer my help with the administration of this site, beeing perfectly bilingual I could give you a hand correcting misspellings in french tabs. We could also open a french section on the forum and make this site THE reference for english AND french tabs wink

I had planned to do a site almost like this one, with a transpose chord tool, and for "Québecois" english tabs are unavoidable. If we work together, a good part of the job is already made. Jef

Re: small correction needed

Hi Jef - That is a wonderful idea to expand into French!  I am perfectly monolingual, but I can see there is probably a need for what you suggest.  I am merely a volunteer who helps with moderating the forum (all chordie moderators are volunteers).  I will contact you privately about what to do.

Regarding the strange characters when editing - that is due to different protocols or some such - not being a techno whiz that is all I know.  The only immediate solution is to not use accents - certainly not ideal, but a temporary work-around.  Ultimately some programming changes need to be made somewhere deep in the bowels of chordies coding.

Look for my private email.  Glad you have found chordie and want to expand our world domination!  James
