   Its Free, But very little control and WAY TOO MANY STUPID ADs

   Its a great app, they get most of the chords correct or very close, I'd say 90% at best. But the AD's are non stop and there is no paid subscription to eliminate them. Customer service is a joke, they are in India. Will not respond to questions. You cannot print out chords with lyrics so whats the use. There is no back button and it does not remember your searches. Overall, good for beginners and kids. Could be really a great app if they had a paid subcription with no ads and more features. Also, mostly heavy metal, not geared to jam bands at all. its

• Show HN: TuneType – a font that has (guitar) chords embedded as ligatures

  > since its width was set to 0 Is this totally necessary? It might be. I don't know much about font programming. If the values have to be hard-coded.

• Show HN: TuneType – a font that has (guitar) chords embedded as ligatures

  So I need to pack the font itself with both the A and the Am6 ligatures… I think a more “advanced” use case like the one you described can be addressed by something like https://lilypond.org. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Make measure width smaller?

  At lilypond.org I found some tips, but they all were for the complete score. I don't want my score to be compressed or have smaller notes as I'm rewriting the music because the original notes are to small for me. Source: 7 months ago

• Caught by MuseScore's Dark Patterns

  As far as open-source software is concerned, you can use Lilypond [1]. Fully text-based transcription. You can edit, insert, splice, overwrite, etc. To your heart's content in your favorite text editor and get a high-quality engraving as output.

• Turning music into a chore is what finally made me a musician

  Do you ever improvise or play from lead sheets? I feel like it's a different feeling from reading sheet music and many people find it more enjoyable. Personally I'm a fan of playing along with stuff here https://chordu.com/. It definitely isn't perfect but it works. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
