My Church band uses chord sheets pretty much exclusively. There appears to be more than one definition of a chord sheet so I show below what I am trying to accomplish.

Verse 1:
A D A E
This is where the lyrics would appear

Verse 2:
A D A E
This is where the lyrics would appear

Chorus 1:
A E D A
This is where the lyrics would appear
E F# E A
This is where the lyrics would appear

Verse 3:
A D A E
This is where the lyrics would appear

Instrumental: A E D A
E F# E A

Verse 4:
A D A E
This is where the lyrics would appear

Chorus 2:
A E D A
This is where the lyrics would appear
E F# E A
This is where the lyrics would appear

Outro: A D A E


[My apologies, I couldn't figure out in this posting tool how to better align the chords (in bold) to be over the dummy lyrics.]


My question is, is it possible to print the chords and lyrics I have entered into BIAB so that the above format used by my Church can be produced ? This would greatly increase my ability to share and communicate with others in the band.

Another way to ask this is can I export, copy or otherwise produce my definition of a chord sheet from the chords and lyrics I have entered into BIAB ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the answer is no, can this feature be put on list for a future version ?

Many thanks.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Pipeline, thanks for your reply. It appears that after copying and pasting into a Word document that much post-editing and cleanup will be required to produce an clean looking chord sheet but that is still better than re-typing everything from scratch.

Thanks again.

Do you use note lyrics or Bar lyrics?

It looks like you may not use notes at all - just chords. Even so, the general recommendation is that you should build your song out in full - linear fashion, from the first bar to the last. Put all the chords in so that when you hit play, the song will run through to the end. Then add the lyrics (or at least some to start), endings, repeats using the use the print function to get the appropriate finished fake sheet.
