1. In Edit mode, click the chord library icon at the top of the window
2. The chord library opens. If this is the rst time you used this feature this session in this particular score, the chord
library shows options for the default chord name of C major. If you have Entered other chords this session into this
current score, then you see the diagram and chord name of the most recent chord you Entered.
3. Begin with the chord root (C through B in the upper left). Also click a at or sharp if needed.
» Notice the other chord name options in the library change accordingly.
4. Choose a chord quality (such as m7 or sus4) by clicking any of the chord names above the line in the middle area. If
the chord structure you want is not there, you can “build” your own:
> Select a basic structure (what appears on the left side of the chord name you’re creating).
> Click as many qualiers as you want to appear to the right of your choice above. For example, for Bbm6b9 you
click Bbm above the line and click both b9 and 6 below the line.
> To unselect a qualier you previously selected, simply click it a second time in the library.
5. Then, optionally, you can specify a bass note by returning to the left side and selecting your choice from the small C
through B (and cicking a at or sharp if needed).
6. All this is now on your Music Cursor: position where you need it and either press Enter or click your mouse.
If, during you time you are building a chord name by clicking, you decide you want
to switch to typing it in, click Type-in Tool at the upper right corner.
