Having got ChordSmith to work I will probably persevere with that. I have got Notepad++ and colour would be nice but not a high priority atm as I have a big gig this Saturday.
It would allow syntax colouring, but I have not found a ChordPro UDL template yet and don't feel an urgent need to create one myself.
But it would be nice, if somebody had the motivation to create such a user defined language file for ChordPro

MobileSheets itself comes with a (pretty basic) editor which is fine for small corrections during a rehearsal.
SongPress (for Windows) https://github.com/lallulli/songpress/releases/ only supports the most important ChordPro tags. It comes with WYSIWYG preview. It has great features to convert "chords over lyrics" to ChordPro, to transpose to a different key, to switch transcoding, to move chords left or right and for batch editing chords (remove chords from a selected part of the song or copy paste chords from one part of a song to another).
The ChordPro reference implementation is great to create PDFs from ChordPro files. It is always up-to-date with the latest new features (and there are a lot of them). I use it as soon as I want to make use of sophisticated features like ABC integration and so on. It has a lot of excellent command line features to create complete songbooks and allows creating and modifying chord diagrams and many many more
ChordSmith seems to be the choice for editing tablature. I didn't try it yet as I am not a guitarist and have no use for tabs
