More Updates to functionality of Songs
- The “soft focus” look of instrumental passages is now in place (hopefully everywhere). For the chordpro aficionados amongst you I have coded an extension directive {sos} (for start of soft) and {eos} (for end of soft) to be wrapped around any block like this if you are creating your own page.
- There was an issue where you could only change keys once and then it got confused. You can now try all sorts of keys and go up and down to your heart’s content.
- As stated in an earlier post if you have slashed chords – e.g. [F/C] or dashed chords e.g. [D-2] or [D-alt] then once you transpose these change to their base chords first and are then transposed. So a [D-2] -> [D] before transposing. If you then transpose back to the original key they will have gone. If you haven’t done any editing then if you simply refresh the screen the original chords will re-appear. So it also means that if you intend to do chord editing etc then get to the key you want to be in BEFORE editing the song.
- If anyone comes up with changes that they think are useful, or new songs then I would love to hear about them
Hi Jim,
Thank you again for all your work providing these resources! I haven’t visited in a while – I signed up to subscribe to blog updates but they don’t seem to be coming through. The last one I received was in March. I know you said that you had changed the subscriber database because there had been an attempt to hack into it to steal email addresses. This is just a “heads up” in case some of the subscriber emails got lost in the process.
I can sign up again if that is the case 🙂
Best wishes,
Liz
Hi,
found your original email and all seems ok – it is subscribed so I need to see if there is an issue with the mail sending. I receive emails (even on a test email address) so not sure. Will find out because it may me happening to others
Thanks for your email, Jim. I have re-subscribed using a different email address as the original one that I used flagged up an error message that it is already subscribed, even though it seems to have disappeared from your database. Mysterious! 🙂
