Chords and marks
The Staff view lets you add and edit chord symbols, dynamic markings, hairpin symbols, and pedal
events. Like notes, these symbols are placed in the score with the Draw Freehand tool. They can be
selected, cut, copied, pasted, deleted, and dragged and dropped. With the exception of pedal
marks, though, these symbols have no audible effect; they serve only to enhance and clarify the
printed score.

Adding chord symbols
The Staff view lets you enter chord symbols above the staff. You can enter both ordinary chord
names and guitar chord symbols, which display both the chord name and fingering. SONAR has a
large number of predefined chords from which you can choose. You can also define and save your
own chords.
If a track is split into treble/bass staves, chords are allowed only above the upper (treble) staff.
SONAR stores its library of chords in the file
Chords.liw
. The chords in the library are sorted into
groups. You can add and remove chords from the library, create new groups (i.e., for alternative
guitar tunings), and add chords from a different library file.
You edit chords in the
Chord Properties dialog box. Chord properties are shown in the following
table.
The Chord Properties dialog box also lets you draw guitar chord grids and manage the chord
library.
You can suppress the display of all guitar chord diagrams by deselecting the
Show Chord Grids
option in the Staff view's Layout dialog box. With this option disabled, only chord text appears.
