Ross,
I finally finished around 10 pm.
My son assures me you should be able to download the file from:
http://s36.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0...A30204HHJY9LHR
He said something about changing http to hxxp if it doesn't work as is.
I haven't the foggiest what he's on about you might have a better idea.
Sorry I couldn't figure out how to paste it as a hyperlink.
I would've preferred to use the free webspace through our isp,
unfortunately our best computer went in for repair today (CPU
overheating to 100 deg C then shutting down) and the necessary and
forgotten username and password are on it.
Let me know if you have any problems getting the file and I'll email
it, it's only 96k.
When you do get the file let me know what you think and whether there
are any problems or possible improvement that could be made. I haven't
had time to thoroughly test it.
I'm happy with the way it is working. Ignore all the random chords that
are on it.
I've just spotted one little problem - the font seems to sometimes
randomly change from Verdana to Times Roman. I might have to set the
font name in the code.

One useful thing about the way it works is if you prefer say + to aug
you could change the caption on the aug textbox to + instead of having
to change the code.

Make sure the lyrics are never bold because the code relies on
chords/bold, lyrics/regular for proper function. If this is a problem I
could change the code to use chords/even rows, lyrics/odd rows. The
chord building code already relies on odd/even rows.

I've included a comment in U1. Just hold the cursor over U1 to read the
information about the enharmonic button.

I've done most of the code on an old iMac which doesn't have a very
large screen view so everything might look a bit bunched up on your
screen.

That's all for now. I've got to put the garbage bins out now for
collection tomorrow.
