Chord Tool

When you click this tool, the Chord Menu appears. The Chord tool lets you create, move, and delete chord symbols in your score. These symbols are musically intelligent; they play back when you play back the piece, transpose when you transpose the music, and can be placed in your score automatically.

Click a note to which you want to attach a chord symbol. A flashing cursor appears above the note. Type the chord symbol you want attached to the note.
Click a note to select the chord symbol attached to it. The chord symbol you type will replace the selected chord symbol.
When Allow MIDI Input is selected in the Chord Menu, click a note to place the cursor at that spot. Now play a chord on your MIDI instrument; SongWriter will correctly analyze it and place the corresponding chord symbol into the score. Press a single note above Middle C to advance the cursor to the next note. See Chord symbols.
