Is there a way to get Tabledit to show the Chords for music that is playing? I have tried every option setting I know to have them show up but so far no luck. Thanks.

Click on File, then select Preferences, then the Display tab. You can set it to show the chords as diagrams or text as well as where and how to orient the chord.

What I want is the letter of the chord shown above the notes. I notice that Old Woodchuck's tabs have them(RSB), but when I was checking out the sample music from the Tabledit they didn't seem to have the chords added. Maybe it's just something that Mr. Woodchuck added himself. If so, that is a huge help to me. Thanks.

If you're looking for the diagrams, they need to be put in by the author, or you need to add them yourself. I know Old Woodchuck just uses the chord name, as do many tabbers, myself included, because the diagrams add complexity to the page.

In order to add diagrams, you need to have built a "chord library" in Tabledit and use the Chord Manager to place them.

You have to add the chord yourself with the Text Manager. You have to know the chords and chord sequences. There is no way to automatically get the chords.
