Descripción
This plugin assists in the creation of staffless lead sheets, also called chords sheets.
It defines a [chordsandlyrics] shortcode which can be used in your post or page text.
It does not require any editing of your template files.
Text appearing between the [chordsandlyrics] and [/chordsandlyrics] tags will be
formatted for chord symbols written in square brackets (eg. [Cmaj]) embedded
inline within lyrics.
It will then display the chord symbol at the same horizontal position above the lyrics.
For example:
[C]Oh [F]say can you see…
will be reformatting using HTML table to display as
C F
Oh say can you see…
with the C correctly positioned over «Oh» and the F positioned over «say».
The commonly used alternative is to use fixed fonts which isn’t very attractive.
This syntax is similar to the that used by ChordPro/Chordii.
Features:
- Format lead sheets, keeping chord symbols above the correct lyric.
- Appearance options page allows each end user to select Lyrics only
or Chords And Lyrics display via their profile (user’s option page).
Directions for Use
- Create Posts or Pages containing the [chordsandlyrics] … [/chordsandlyrics] tags.
- Embed chord symbols within square brackets inline with lyrics within these tags.
For example:
[chordsandlyrics]
[C]Mary had a little lamb, [G]little lamb, [C]little lamb.
[C]Mary had a little lamb whose [F]fleece was [G]white as [C]snow.
[/chordsandlyrics]
Note that chords can appear in the middle of lyric words.

Yes. Adjust the CSS in your theme.

Can I display European chords?

Yes. Beginning with version 1.7, European chord convention is supported.
