Re: printing chord diagrams

Hi jj3 and welcome to Chordie!

I am a little confused by your question. If you use the chordie print preview function (on the right side of the page), usually the default is to print the chord chart on the right. Alternatively, you can choose to print the chord chart on the bottom, or not print them at all. If they are not printing, it may have something to do with your print settings. Not sure of your issue, but I have hundreds of songs printed, all with chord charts.

If this is not working properly for you, please post a link of the specific song(s) and I bet one of the computer guru's here can figure it out!

Re: printing chord diagrams

Is there a way to get a song printed in the so-called "Nashville Numbers" format?

Re: printing chord diagrams

Here's what I've been doing to create a printed song book:

I started by creating a folder in My Pictures named Chords. When I see a song that I want to add to my song book, I right click on each of the chord pictures, select Save Image As... and save them into the Chords folder.

Then I highlight the song - copy and paste it into an open Word document. I make sure there are a couple of blank lines under the title and (1) place the cursor on one of those blank lines, (2) click on Insert in the tool bar, (3) select Picture, and select From File... in the drop down list.

(4) Navigate to the Chord folder that I saved the chord pictures to, and select them in alphabetical order; insert them into the document.

When I have all of the chord pictures across the top of the page, I save the Word document into a folder named Lyrics.

After a while, you will have all of the chord pictures (with the exception of some rare ones) in your Chord folder, so you will skip the part about saving them.

Regardless of which word processing program you use, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc browsers will let you save pictures from Internet sites. These pictures (chord pictures) can then be inserted into the word processing software that you use.

Hope this helps.
