Source types - sciurius - 05-07-2015
MobileSheetsPro supports a number of source types. Most of these are clear to me, but what is the intended difference between 'Charts' and 'Chords'?
RE: Source types - GraemeJ - 05-07-2015
Many of the terms musicians use are interchangeable and not particularly well-defined
.In this particular case, I would consider a ¡chart' to have at least the top line and chord sequence (a la a fakebook) - many would think it should be the whole score. 'Chords' would be a display showing chords only.
Personally, I tend to use the term 'chart' for everything, no matter how it is formatted - mainly because I dislike the MS term 'Songs'.

"Source Types" is one of the database fields I use the most - for almost all entries I defined my own terms

This is how I currently use it:
LeadSheets: Typically generated by Chordii
Lyrics: Same as LeadSheets, but without the chords
Sheet Music: Musical scores as generated by LilyPond
Chords: Structured chord charts as generated by Playtab
Charts: Special mnemonical charts for songs I know how to play but occasionally I need a hint
Tab: Tab notated songs

We all can use our own definitions. Here's what I use:
LeadSheets - contain melody(only) in standard notation, along with lyrics and typically contains chords above staff as well. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_sheet
Lyrics: Lyrics only (text)
Sheet Music. Musical Scores (except Orchestra Scores - see below)
Chords: Text and Chords - What sciurius calls a LeadSheet.
Charts: Chord only notation - What sciurius calls Chords.
Tab: Tab notated songs.
I've also added:
Orchestral Score: Full orchestra score, containing all instruments. This is what the Conductor of an orchestra would typically use.
