Chording + Lyric

like, adding chords over the lyrics in the lyrics view? if you paste the lyrics into the lyric view on a MIDI track, each vertical line is a word. so i suppose you could then (possibly using snap-to) put in chords via a keyboard (e.g. step-recorder). or are you think more like something like displaying it in the Staff view and adding chords via the Chord tool and adjusting to "C7" "Am7" etc...

in the latter, it's really chords based on sections of a measure determined by snap-to. and lyric will be displayed in the base meter until you add the melody notes to each word etc. however, the chords don't seem to generate any MIDI to actually play them except in the chord dialog box... so using the step recorder to create the actual chords would still be needed.

more like that. I've yet to mess about in the lyric staff view, but i think the second image might work, but I don't need the staff view at all. Only words with chord name (not chart).

D                                              Am
I hear the south wind moan

A                                          C
The bridges getting lower

D                                              A
Shrimp boats coming home

 

Thanks!
