I played around for some time to tweak something like chord sheets into ChordPro and in the end I am not really satisfied with the results, see screenshots and sample file. In many cases I ended with filling a table in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice and exporting it to PDF (separate versions for every key I need).
The advantages and disadvantages of my ChordPro-chordsheets:
pro:
- transposing on the fly
- can be edited directly on the tablet (with e.g. Jota text editor)
- usable in ANY ChordPro tool
- can be mixed and combined easily with lyrics or textual notes
- a single ChordPro file can be used in different keys (with different transpose settings) in several setlists and collections
con:
- measure bars not aligned
- several common musical symbols like 1st / 2nd ending, Coda, ... have to be replaced in an ugly way
- its not possible to make single chords highlighted, underlined or bold
