The Auto-generated song memo says if RealDrums come from the song or style.
Chordsheet Area
Chords, rests, shots, holds, and part markers are entered in the Chordsheet.
The chordsheet can be viewed in the full linear view showing all bars, or optionally in fake sheet view that shows 1
st
and 2
nd
endings and repeat signs. Another option shows bars past the end of the song in gray.
In the Chordsheet, typing special words, instead of chord names, will make the following settings:
begin + Enter sets the beginning of the chorus to the current bar
end + Enter sets the end of the song to the current bar
chorusend + Enter sets the end of the chorus to the current bar
tkc + Enter sets key signature to C, tkbb would set it to Bb
trc + Enter transposes song to key of C
t125 + Enter sets tempo to 125
You can quick-load a song by typing only. In chord entry mode type the word “Song” followed by a file name, or
partial file name, and the song will get loaded in. For example, type c:\a\MySong.sgu to load in that exact song
name. Type “bossa” to load in the first song with bossa in the name AFTER the current song name, in the current
folder.
Quick-load a style by typing only “style” followed by a style name, e.g., stylezzbossa<Enter> will load in
zzbossa.sty.
