Hi Mike,
I've experimented a bit with chordpro files and MSP recently, and decided I want to switch over from docx/pdf sheets to chordpro files. For the other musicians this would be particularly handy, as they'd be able to easily transpose the songs and then use capo's etc.
So for our next gig, I perfected a bunch of songs in the MSP text editor. But I can't find an option to export the results into a file that I can share with them. All I can see are .msf and .pdf options. I also noticed that MSP doesn't actually change the original chordpro file. All I can do now then, is copy-paste every song into some notepad app and then save as .cho
It'd be useful to me if MSP could save songs as .cho (or whatever), and/or if it could alter the original .cho file. Am I missing something? If not, this might be a useful feature for the future.
On a related note, do you have any plans to fully support the chordpro directives? As of now, I'm missing the "start/end_of_grid" functionality the most. And some alternative layouts would be nice too. For instance, I'm not a big fan of the current "chorus" indentation for example, it leads to too many wrapping lines, a vertical black bar to the left would be nicer.
Anyway, love that MSP handles chordpro files decently, would just love to see it do even more
