Custom Chord Symbols

If you need to add a less common chord which is not available in the Chord Grid, you can enter it in the Custom Chord window, which you can open via ChordSong's Chord > Custom Chord menu command.

To place your custom chord in your song, type it in the Chord symbol text box and then click the Apply button.

Note: Your custom chords are "visual" only; ChordSong can display and print them, but can't play them. This is true even if your custom chord looks exactly like a chord from the Chord Grid. So, if you want ChordSong to play your chord, you should use the Chord Grid, not the Custom Chord window.
