Re: Cordpro formattet songs
Thanks! This is OK! I´m ok with making chordpro files. But can I Download the Chordie-files in chordpro format. It would be great to get the files in this format for my Iphone - It seems to me that I cannot import the files for Ipod touch in "Mysongbook"
kind regards

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
I'm not sure how you download them into your Ipod and all (don't have one) ... but you can VIEW the chordpro format on the website. Open up the song on the right of the screen, 4th box down (under size) there's a "chopro" pic next to print. Click on that and it will bring the song up in the chordpro format.
Hope that helps lead you to an answer... good luck!

YES! YES! I knew it! The solution had to come from a woman :-)! It was dificult to explain my problem, but you solved it! thanks! This will save me a lot of work! This will be great together with "MySongBook" on my iphone. You see, if you like Bob Dylan - you have to have the texts nex to you, specialy when you are over 50. Thanks again!

That's why the answer had to come from a woman. You didn't provide a straight direct question, and therefore only a woman could follow along! ha ha! Our talking and thinking in circles finally has a use and is now proven to not be for the sole purpose of frustrating men! ha ha ha! 
Glad I could help!

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
I'm sure you were thinking of a straight direct answer as opposed to a question but thats a guess as I dont know how women think and never will nor will any man

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
I did notice that, I, also took the question incorrectly, so didn't answer. Mekidsmom, it was too illogical for a man to get the answer right, I guess. More of the right and left brain issues

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
LOL! Ok, well my head is a little fuzzy right now with a cold... but I think I meant it the way I said it. He wasn't clear in what his problem was (wasn't direct to the point - didn't ask clearly) and so only a woman who thinks and talks in unclear terms could comprehend. Men handle direct questions and answers better.
I know that it drives men batty that we "talk in circles" ... so I'm pleased to have proven myself useful with my "circle thoughts" ... ... it's ok if you aren't following cuz I make no sense to you Men don't always make sense to me. We have other things in this world that keep us all connected! ha ha!

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
Here's a question FROM a woman - hopefully someone can answer.
I've figured out the chords (for uke) for a song I've not been able to find on Chordie or elsewhere on the net.
I thought it would be useful to others to add it to Chordie but having read through various sections of the site discovered I'll have to use chopro format to add it elsewhere on the net which will then automatically add it to Chordie - have I got this right so far?
1. - how do I find out how to use chopro formatting - happy to search myself but if you have any shortcuts I'd appreciate it.
2.- where on earth on the net do I post? I don't have my own website and there are obviously copyrighting issues as this is not my own original composition.
I search for songs all the time - if I can't get them on chordie I tend to copy them into word and add the uke chords and shape diagrams myself - most times I don't think there are copyright details on the net - just links to add the song as a ringtone!
Any help with this would be great

Hi Debbie and welcome to Chordie,
Let me answer your first question, the easiest one, of course If you go into the Songwriting section and look at the 'Sticky' titled "How to Post Original Song to Songwriting Forum!" you will find James's explanation of using chopro.

Re: Cordpro formattet songs
Welcome to the forum!
As for the second question... since Chordie doesn't host songs that have a copyright due to the legality issue, I'm not so sure that suggesting a location here is the best idea either. So I will suggest you google some song chords and see what OTHER websites pop up and see if any of those have a place for you to post those copyright songs. Once you do find a location, you can then come back here and suggest the song be added to the chordie search index here: http://www.chordie.com/addurl.php
Good luck
