Adding Song Key to Stage View
Hi there,
Our musicians have asked to have the song key displayed on the stage view.
We have populated the Alternate_Title with the key how do you get it to display, or is there a better field to put this in?
any help in this regard would be most appreciated.

thanks for the reply,
I tried adding a comment in the themes copyright tab of the song but that didn't do anything.
Does that mean we need to manually add the key to every song by way of a comment?
if that's the case it won't work because many times we don't know what the song will be, our service is quite dynamic in that the song leader just mentions the song he wants to sing and the person on words searches and brings it up on the fly.
thanks for the reply is there any step by step guide for using the chord tags?
looking at this thread but all the files mentioned are no longer available

I downloaded and tried using the instructions from https://github.com/tomasss1024/openlp_chords
but that didn't work either..
I have 2.4.6 installed but I cant seem to find where the instructions for showing chords is.
- Create the formatting tags...information is in the readme file at the bottom of the page..The manual has instructions to lead you through creating the formatting tags.
- Create the custom stage view... the files are on the same site, you have to drill into the directory to get the actual files. Check out the manual for where to put the files.
- You have to modify the text to add the "chord" information.
I've done this with 2.4.6 using the information on the site listed above. Please note directories may have changed so use the directories in the manual.
