Chord tool
When you click this tool, the Chord menu appears. The Chord tool lets you create, move, and delete chord symbols in your score. These symbols are musically intelligent; they play back when you play back the piece, transpose when you transpose the music, and can be placed in your score automatically.
Special mouse clicks
- Click a note to which you want to attach a chord symbol. A flashing cursor appears above the note. Type the chord symbol you want attached to the note.
- Click a note to select the chord symbol attached to it. The chord symbol you type will replace the selected chord symbol.
- When Allow MIDI Input is selected in the Chord menu, click a note to place the cursor at that spot. Now play a chord on your MIDI instrument; PrintMusic will correctly analyze it and place the corresponding chord symbol into the score. Press a single note in the octave above Middle C to advance the cursor to the next note. See Chord symbols.
