    Default Stagnent Chord with moving Bass i.e. empty slashes

    I know this is a problem other's have had and is probably answered somewhere else however this search is not addressed and therefore relevant*
    but this particular version is really ugly
    Is there any way around this?
    Ideally we'd want;
    1) to leave the chord N with Skinny bass notes
    2) Use only one chord with empty slashes on top and bass on the bottom (until chord changes)
    Test moving bass under stagnant chord - Harold Arlen

    * for those that would tell me to use the search function (which I did)

    Hi Bob,
    You can use the "invisible" chord choice (W) with the slash and bass note.
    It has its own key in the editor marked with an oval "splotch" of color .

    As far as I know, available currently there is only the choice between small OR normal font for each space.
    That choice affects both the chord and the slash-note together.

    I edited your chart to include the "invisible" chords and included at the bottom of the chart examples of the font choices.
    All small, all normal and split so the relative sized fonts can be easially viewed side by side.

    Test moving bass under stagnant chord 1 - Harold Arlen

    I agree that the Google forum search is suboptimal. Try searching: invisible
    I hope that's helpful,
    )BOB

    Default Hiding chord C C/E C/Eb C/D

    Sorry for asking this
    I know it's here but can't find it.
    How do you hide the chord when one bar has bass movement with the same chord. ?

    Like Funny Valentine C C/B C/Bb so it looks like

    Don't post a playlist as the songs in a Realbook if the changes aren't from the book.
    If you do transcribe changes from a book put it in the title RB1, RB2, GGB, Sher, etc

    many thanks
    I tried it before but I was using the forward slash which defeats it.
