About this chapter
In this chapter you will learn:
- How to enter chord symbols manually and automatically using the “Make Chord
Symbols” feature.
- Which settings can be made for chord symbols.
Inserting chord symbols
To insert chord symbols in the score, you can insert them manually by using the Chord
Symbol button in the Inspector. You can also let Cubase analyze an existing recording
and create the chord symbols.
Manually
To specify and enter a chord symbol, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Other tab and select the Chord Symbol button.
2. Click in the score at the position where you want to insert the chord symbol.
The Edit Chord Symbol dialog opens.
3. Enter the root note in the Root Note field.
You can either type in a chord letter or step through the chord letters using the
up/down arrows to the right.
4. In the “Chord Type” field, specify a chord type.
You can either enter it directly (for example, by typing a “7”) or select an option
from the pop-up menu (click the arrow button to open it).
