Here are examples of chords and lyrics:
Note that any text which is not in a bar is ignored, and thus can be used to add comments.
Spaces can be used anywhere you like. However, spaces aren't allowed in chord names (ie. you must type
'Gsus4' instead of 'G sus 4').
Since MultitrackStudio stores the tempo in MIDI files, there must be at least one MIDI track in a Song in
order to be able to align the chords and lyrics with the tracks. See Extracting tempo from Track if your song
is audio only.
Transpose Chords
The Transpose button can be used to transpose the selected chords. You can use this if you decide to
play the guitar part using a capo. Transposed chords always use sharps, never flats (D# instead of Eb etc.).
If a bass note is present at the end of the chord, separated by a slash (eg. C/B) , then this bass note will be
transposed as well.
Create MIDI Tracks from Chords
Using the Create Track button you can create MIDI files from the chords. These files will be loaded in a
track automatically. Guitar, Piano, Bass and Strings tracks can be created. These tracks can be used to
make sure the chords are OK, or to create backing tracks for practicing a guitar solo etc.
The following chords will be recognized: C, Cm, C6, Cm6, C7, Cm7, Cmaj7, Cmmaj7, Cadd9, Cmadd9, C9,
Cm9, C11, Cm11, C13, Cm13, Csus2, Csus4 (or Csus), Cdim, Caug, Cdim7, Cm7b5. Any key can be used
(Bbm, D7, C#maj7 etc.).
Copy Lyrics to Clipboard
The Copy button copies the lyrics to the Windows Clipboard. All bar and beat separators are removed. You
can paste the lyrics in a text editor and print them.
