Thread Name: Put the chords where?
Subject: RE: Put the chords where?
I believe that this is a reasonable compromise and endorse it wholeheartedly.

Most people would know this, but you can paste 'troublesome' lyrics to Word and use the Find and Replace function to remove them.

FIND {^$] REPLACE (leave this field blank) will get rid of single character chord names.

FIND {^$] REPLACE (leave this field blank) will get rid of two character chord names, such as DM or G7.

Two runs of the FIND?REPLACE function should remove the majority chords in square brackets.

If the song has chord names like Gm7B5 then chances are you're not really a folkie and interpreting the lyrics is of no real interest - only kidding of course.

Cheers, John
