Could you add an option to use the european notation system ( A=la, B=si etc.)?

Good idea, but then how do we accommodate major and minor? Something like La is A and la is a?

LA minor is usually written as LA-, while major is not indicated.
es: G# is SOL#, while b♭ is SI♭-.

Here's the list of chords as they are written in europe:

DO ; DO#; RE ; MIb ; MI ; FA ; FA# ; SOL ; SOL# ; LA ; SIb ; SI
DO- ; DO#- ; RE- ; MIb- ; MI- ; FA- ; FA#- ; SOL- ; SOL#- ; LA- ; SIb- ; SI-

I see. Afraid that this would take too much space and the chords may get mixed up when they are too close to one another.

There is a half solution. You have to edit the  file  "*song name*.txt", which contains the chord and time information for a processed mp3, however this way the program won't play the chords.


You have to switch to see hidden files and find the following location:
C:\\\\Documents and Settings\\\\*User*\\\\Local Settings\\\\Temp\\\\*.txt

Here is an example for the file content:
{0, a}{10.62, f}{14.14, c#}{24.74, C}{28.26, e}{31.8, D#}{35.32, G}{38.84, d#}{42.38, a#}{45.9, E}{49.44, a}{52.98, e}{56.5, g}{60.04, d}{63.56, B}{67.1, E}{70.62, a}{91.8, f}{95.32, c}{105.92, B}

replaced with:
{0, 9m}{10.62, 5m}{14.14, 1m Hello!  :)}{24.74, 0}{28.26, 4m}{31.8, 3M}{35.32, 7}{38.84, 3m}{42.38, Xm}{45.9, 4}{49.44, 9m}{52.98, 4m}{56.5, 7m}{60.04, 2m}{63.56, L}{67.1, 4}{70.62, 9m}{91.8, 5m}{95.32, 0m}{105.92, L}


So in my case the replacement is:
a, a#, b, c, c#, d, d#, e, f, f#, g, g#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#
9m, Xm, Lm, 0m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 8m, 9, X, L, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

For the problem of long chord names:
If the program could use up more lines instead of one, the long names could be written vertically.

for example instead of 8m or g# it could be

8
m

or

G#
m


or how about 8dim and 6sus (which are actually not supported, but can be recognised by the user, then written into the .txt)

8        6

d        s
i          u
m        s

or

G#      F#

d        s
i          u
m        s

You can see, that this way the information of pitch and chord type are separated.


How about the information of inversions and octave displacemnets? They could be editable by the user and optionally  displayed vertically under the score, with a different colour.

there should chords for different tunings
