THE CHORD-FINDER
======================
1.HISTORY
2.WHAT THE PROGRAM DOES
3.HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM
First of all. I hope my english ain't to bad, and that
you are all able to understand it.
1.HISTORY
This is a program designed for all you guitar-entusiast
out there. This is the first version of the program and
it's coded in Borland C++ 3.1. The reason why I made
this program, was that the program GUITARE which provides
kind of the same features, doesn't function so good on my
PC. So THE CHORD-FINDER is made for you PC-users, and I
think it's pretty easy to use.
This program may be freely spread around. aslong as no fees
are taken. Anybody that want's to use this program on a regulary
basis, and appreciates the work that has been done, feel free
to send some money for using the program. Contributions are
most welcome. It will make it possible for me to put a bit
more time into developing this program further, and making new
programs.
2.WHAT THE PROGRAM DOES
THE CHORD-FINDER is a program where you can search for
chords, which you wonder how to play. You may search in
various ways. This program will hopefully give you an
answer. At this moment it containes the answer how to play
over 800 chords, and it is possible for the user to add
chords to this list.
3.HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM
Using the program is very simple. When you search for a
chord you only have to write the name of this chord.
Be sertain that you write the name all in one, without
any spaces between.
Here are some examples:
C
C#m
Cmaj9
C6add9
C9(#11)
C7-5
Dm
Cb
This is just a few examples, but I think this will
explain the main idea. With big letters for the main
chord and the rest in small letters. If one or more strings
is not to be played, the program will indicate this by
turning them red.
To add chords is another matter. This is done by telling
the computer which bar to be pressed for the actual string.
Example D
E 2
B 3
G 2
D 0
A 0
E 99
You will also be able to see if your input is right on the
screen. At last you get a question to answer, Wheather the
input is right or not. As you see in the example the number
99 has been used. This will mean that this string is not
meant to be pulled when playing the chord.
There is also an alternative to search for the name of a chord
which you know how to play. You just give the computer the
numbers, just the same as when you add a chord to the archive,
and then the program vil tell you the name of the chord. A chord
may also have different names, so all alternatives will be
listed.
Another function this program provides is to search for other
names of a chord you already know. Here you tell the name of
the chord, and you'll get some alternative names if they exists.
Enjoy the program, and let me know if any bugs are found.
