Is it possible to convert a Word doc. to mpal

• Oct 27, 2019 - 16:16

1 I have a Word doc of ukulele chord diagrams which I use when writing up lyric sheets - I just drag & drop the reqd diag, Is there any way I can convert this doc or the individual diagrams to mpal to place in a palette?

2 Can I show chord diagrams say, in a line at the end of the score, rather than linking them to a particular note within the score?

  1. You can use an image anywhere you want. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/images for info on doing this. The chord diagram when you save an mpal file (save a palette) is actually xml like text that describes the chord diagram and MuseScore converts it to the diagram you see in your palette and score.

  2. I suspect the easiest way to put a chord diagram at the end of a score would be to insert an image of it into a frame as shoichi is suggesting. If you want it below the last staff you might consider placing it on a note then changing its location to below the staff and adjusting the x and y offsets, but I think the image in a frame is probably the best way.

Thanks for that, very helpful - on 2, I had tried frames of every sort but my diags were minute when copied in and when I re-sized them they seemed to overwrite each other. HOWEVER, encouraged by the responses I received I tried again and have now figured out how to resize and reposition the chord diags quite nicely. Thanks again
