If you have some background music theory you would know that means play C,F, G, and F. For instance a guitar player might be teaching his band a new song and will yell out “play a 1, 4, 5, 4 in the key of C”. They all differ in name but the chord function is always the same. In the equal temperament tuning system their are 15 key signatures. When the transposition is complete, the Current Key selection will be the same as the New Key.The Nashville Number System is a simple way of naming chord functions as numbers rather than their formal letter name. If you want to convert to or from Nashville Numbers, then check the appropriate box.ĥ. For example, it doesn't matter whether you are in E major or E minor, just select E in the drop down list. It doesn't matter whether it is minor or major. That's why I opted to select sharps or flats instead of major or minor keys.Ĥ. Yes, there is a standard convention, but some musicians prefer not to follow the tradition. Select whether you want to use sharps or flats for accidentals. In this example, the word Christmas in our title and our lyrics would become "D#ristmas."ģ. Without a chord font discriminator, Transposer would transpose all capital letters from A to G. In this example, we would select "Use font color" as our discriminator. Check the appropriate boxes to use the font color and/or the font style as a chord symbol discriminator. This feature does not yet find chords using the Nashville Number System.Ģ. You have to tell the program what Font Parameters you want to use before you can use this feature. If the chords are not already marked with a font parameter, then you can use the "Find and Mark chords using Font Parameters" button to locate and mark chords. Here we see that the chord font color for this chart has an RGB value of 0 127 191. If Transposer can't determine the font color, then you will be warned. If your chord chart document already uses a distinctive font for the chords, then select an example of a chord symbol and click the "Get Font Parameters from Selected Text" button as shown above. We have endeavored to make our program compatible with all of the chord charting examples that we have seen, but that doesn't mean we've considered everything that is available.ġ. There is no standard for constructing a chord chart, and your construction may not work well with Transposer. We highly recommend that you make a back up copy of your chord chart. As a computer programmer and a musician, Ron's Chord Transposer was a joy to write. We had worked out our arrangements, but needed to transpose them to work with different singers. I got the idea for Transposer when I was helping our music minister prepare for our Christmas program. I'd love to hear from you, and it would encourage me to write other useful programs for musicians. If you like Transposer and find it useful, please send me an email. See our hints section for suggestions on adding discriminators. You can also set the font parameter for an entire line at a time, so it shouldn't take long to add a definitive font discriminator to your chord sheet. This feature does not find Nashville Number System chords. Version 2.0 adds a chord search feature that can find and set the font parameters in your chart. Transposer works by using font parameters, like color, bold, and italics, to determine which text is a legitimate chord symbol. Transposer is an application that works with Microsoft Word 2003 and later to transpose text based chord charts with or without lyrics into different keys.
