Add % as chord character

MarkGuitar

If I may add one simple but very useful (and time saving) character to be included in the 'chord recognition' set pls.

The '%' character. I doubt any song lyric would ever use it, so losing it in the chord character set would be no loss but would be super useful when writing out chord line notation as it simply states 'repeat last bar'

So this
|C / / / |C / / / |G / / / |G / / / |

Becomes this
|C / / / | % |G / / / | % |

Much easier to read and faster/easier to enter. And is the standard in notation.

Thank you

Please don't hijack threads. Moved to new thread.

peter I think you meant to move my reply here 🙂

Since the other thread seemed related to chord recognition, I thought I'd post my idea there, instead of a new thread.

musicadi Your proposal would be its own feature request. It does not fit in any other thread. Not this one here and not the other one. I don't think it can be realized at all because it would break downward compatibility which is a no go. It would render old lyrics unusable and would break compatibility with the ChordPro format.
