Hi all - apologies for being redundant; I seem to have forgotten... frown

Can anyone please reiterate - how do you name the Bars / Sections of your song? For example, I want Bar 87 to say "Bridge". I recall it was simple... must be that this Solitary Confinement is rotting my brain!! laugh

Someone may know how to do that. What I do is use single letters. They are called (I think) bar-based section letters. I think you right click where you would enter a part marker.

My jazz songs have entries lIke a fakesheet such as A, B, C. Then S for solo, T for Tag etc.

On the Chord Chart, bars can have a Bar-based Section Letter attached, but not a word to my knowledge.
You could use lyrics to do this but they wouldn't appear on the chord chart.
Edit: Matt answered the same while I was preparing the image.

I think the OP may be thinking of using Section Text Layer. You can have Section Text and Lyrics Text showing on the Chord Chart.

Yes... I use section text to label my verses/chorus/solo/etc... click on Chord Display/Layers/Section text - - then double click on the faint green line at the top of each bar to insert your label.

Thank you, all! It took some digging, and all were correct... Silverback got me back to what I remembered.

I appreciate the backstop! laugh
