[Scherzo]

I realize this isn’t a MobileSheets issue, however as I use ChordPro sheets in MSP, I was hoping someone with more experience might have a workaround or an idea for a way to handle optional chord symbols in ChordPro.

Here is the situation:

I come across music or chord charts where optional chord symbols are indicated with parentheses. However, if you use parentheses inside of the normal square brackets for chord symbols on a ChordPro sheet, the transposition feature does not work.

Transposition also does not work if another character is placed in the square brackets in front of the chord symbol like a + sign for example.

If I place parentheses on the outside of the square brackets, it screws up the placement of the parentheses.

I did discover I could add parentheses outside of the square brackets like this:

[(][G][)]

However, even though the transposition feature works using this method, it really screws up the chord symbol placement.

Has anyone come up with a workable solution or is there an “official” way to indicate optional chords in ChordPro that I am unaware of?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or enlightenment you can offer!
