Topic: add chord diagram to songbook
Before signing up, saw info to the effect that I could create own songbook of chords (chords only, no songs.) Can't figure this out. Any body out there know how to do this? Thanks.

Re: add chord diagram to songbook
Hi elis4377 & welcome to chordie!
I am not sure what you are referring to here - perhaps what you want is printed pages of nothing but chord grids?
I don't know any direct way of doing this here on chordie - but I can think of a work-around method using chordie's song editing tool. It would take a little effort to create such pages, but it is a very 'do-able' thing.
Basically, you could pick a 'victim song' in your personal songbook and then open it using the 'edit song' button. Then, you would delete everything in the song file EXCEPT the {t:title} and {st:subtitle} lines at the top. Lastly, you would simply type in the chords you want on your pages. Each chord would have to be in straight brackets:
[A]
[A4]
[Am]
Put each chord on a different line.
Once you have all your chords, hit the 'save' button between the edit and view panes. Your chord sheets will now print.
Actually, this seems like a lot of work . . . but does this help with your question?

Re: add chord diagram to songbook
Well thank you James McCormick,
After I registered with Chordie, I was finally able to successfully copy and paste the chords from the chord page and then edit them in Word. I have a (huge) chord book but wanted a chart of chords for quick look ups. Now I have what I need on 4 pages. What a great resource! Thanks a lot. Elis.
