Hi, sir. When I try to copy and paste above, many errors popped up. Like

Hi Ben,
I just tested this with a fresh new page, copy and pasted the code at the top of this page (with WordPress editor in text mode) and got exactly the result as expected. No errors at all.
Make sure you paste the code in text mode.
Best regards,
George

My apologies, sir. It’s my own error cause I’m using a different theme and I didn’t add any chords in the “Guitar Chords” section . I didn’t see it before until now. I was expecting it to work right away by just adding the shortcode above.
No problem. I am glad it works now.
I’m a fan :-). Your plugin works nice and is most flexible!
Great addition would be clicking on (mobile) or hovering over (web) the chord to show the chordsheet in a popup.
And separate from the chord sheet, a way to create a “nice looking” note bar (tab) for the intro licks or alternate chord presentations would also be nice (think of another great Neil Young song called Harvest Moon ;-))
And a way to add strumpattern maybe?
But otherwise, nicely done!
Hi Roeland,
thanks for the good words and new ideas. I will see what I can do…
Is there a way to use something like a +/- transpose buttons instead of a dropdown? Thanks!
Hi Milos,
sounds like a good idea. Would you mind submitting a feature request here:
https://georgelewe.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/5
Not at all, I’ve just submitted a screenshot with a description into “Suggest a new feature” section. Thanks!
I want to show the lyrics in two column.
How can I do that?
Also in the transpose can put the scale instead of the number.
Like transpose in G or A or B sth like that
Hi Ekanta,
there are no columns available in ChordPress. The output will always span over the width of the parent element. You would need to provide your own columns and display ChordPress output in there.
ChordPress does not know the scale of a song. Thus, it cannot not transpose it to a different scale. Sorry.
Best regards,
George
You could add something like this to the css:
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.cpress{
column-count: 2 !important;
}
}
After the update several empty lines appeared between the guitar chords and metas (title, album)
Would it be possible to reduce this empty space?
