Subject: RE: print guitar chord thingies on music
Hello, Ivan. Thanks for explaining about the alt key.

"how do you get the symbols to print at the bottom of your NWC printout?"

I have to use two programs. I use Noteworthy to print the music.

After I got the Frets fonts into my fonts, I made a document that has all the chords I'm likely to use. Then I typed their names (A,G, Em, etc) under them.

After the music has been printed by Noteworthy, I go to the Notepad doc select the chord diagrams needed. I got to Page Layout and set the top margin at about 9 inches (or as needed) and run the page through the printer again, printing the diagrams below the song.

Robyn, I will check your link. Thanks.

It's a little trouble, but I think it's worth it to coax a person to get the guitar out from under the bed. We had our first practice last night, and she was nervous but game to keep trying.
