Sorry, haven’t been getting notifications so didn’t see this request.
Please help me understand this clearly. In Europe the scale is AHCDEFG?
This feels like someone is trying to play a practical joke on me 🙂

It is actually a German style but the most of Europe is using it.
Yes, the scale I learned within 8 years of violin and 3 years of viola was CDEFGAHC.
Actually H = B
and B = Bb in this system.

Interesting. I’ll see about adding support for it.
I’m assuming that this is a ‘global’ type setting, so I will add a checkbox to the Settings -> Reading options to enable displaying “h” instead of “b”.
Yeah, millions of people in continental Europe are using it…it would be great. But – H instead of B is not enough, there is B instead of Bb, too. Yeah, it is a “global style” thing.

Ok, I’ve added European chord support to the code and will upload v1.7 once I’ve done a little bit more testing in the morning.
This problem really comprises two aspects:
1. Being able to enter chord information in a post using European chords.
2. Displaying music using European chords.
To support the first, I’ve added a new parameter european=”yes” to the chordsandlyrics shortcode. This will cause B to be interpreted as Bb.
To support the display of European chords (regardless of how they’re entered in the post) I have added a checkbox to the Chords and Lyrics options on the Settings -> Readings page.
Thank you, that is great!
