和弦符号

    和弦记号 are an abbreviated way of representing musical chords (see Chord names and symbols (Wikipedia) for further details). For example:

    和弦记号

    注：要用斜杠填充小节，请参阅以斜杠填充或切换节奏性斜杠记谱。

    As well as conventional chord symbol notation, MuseScore as of version 3.3 also supports the Nashville Number System (NNS), and Roman Numeral Analysis (RNA).

    输入和弦记号

    1. 选择起始的音符或斜杠；
    2. 按下Ctrl+K（Mac：Cmd+K）；
    3. 光标现在位于谱表上方，准备输入。普通文本一样输入和弦符号，如下所示：
      • 根音符：A、B、C、D、E、F、G。
      • 升号：#（井号，在英式键盘上是Alt+3）。
      • 降号：b（小写字母“b”）。
      • 重升号：x（小写字母“x”）或## （两个井号）。
      • 重降号：bb（两个小写字母“b”）。
      • 还原号：natural. 注：在输入本单词前不应输入空格， 但其后的任何和弦文本都应使用空格分隔——后者使用命令插入Ctrl+空格。所以，要写下B♮m时，请输入“Bnatural”，然后按下Ctrl+空格，再键入“m”。也可使用Ctrl+Shift+H。请注意，这些都无法转换或播放（根音符除外），也无法正确导出到MusicXML。
      • 有关其他符号，请参阅下文和弦符号语法。
    4. 将光标前后移动以继续输入或编辑和弦符号（请参阅下文[键盘命令](#commands）。
      5.按下Esc退出和弦符号模式。

    When you exit a chord symbol, the characters entered will automatically assume the correct format: by default a root note typed in lower case will turn into upper case (for alternative options, see Automatic Capitalization); a "#", "b" or "natural" will turn into a proper sharp (♯), flat (♭) or natural (♮) and so on. Do not try to use actual flat, sharp and natural signs, as MuseScore will not understand those properly.

    键盘命令

    在和弦符号输入期间可以使用以下命令：

    MuseScore understands most of the abbreviations used in chord symbols:

    编辑和弦符号

    已有的和弦符号可使用类似于普通文本的编辑方式：请参阅文本编辑。

    移调和弦记号

    如果您将菜单移调命令应用于包含的小节，则默认情况下和弦符号会自动移调。若不需要，您可以取消选中同一对话框中的“移调和弦符号”选项。

    和弦符号文本

    要调整_所有___和弦符号__文本的外观，请使用以下任一选项：

    和弦符号样式

    To access formatting options for chord symbols:

    Appearance

    Three options are possible: Standard and Jazz and Custom. You can select between these using the radio buttons.

    等音替换

    By default, MuseScore uses letter names for chord symbols. For users in regions where other note naming schemes are used, MuseScore provides the following controls:

    Automatic Capitalization

    By default, MuseScore automatically capitalizes all note names on exit, regardless of whether you entered them in upper or lower case. However, you can also choose other automatic capitalization options:

    You can also turn off the automatic capitalization completely, in which case note names are simply rendered the way you type them.

    Positioning

    Note: In addition to the settings described here, the default position of applied chord symbols is also determined by settings in the Text Styles dialog. The effect is cumulative.

    Capo

    Enter the number of the capo position at which you want to display substitute chords, in brackets, after all chord symbols in the score.

    Nashville Number System

    The Nashville Number System (NNS), available in MuseScore since version 3.3, is a shorthand way of representing chords based on scale degrees rather than chord letters. This allows an accompaniment to be played in any key from the same chord chart.

    To start entering Nashville notation:

    1. Select a start note;
    2. From the menu, select Add→Text→Nashville Number.

    Just as with standard chord symbols, you can type Nashville notation normally and MuseScore will do its best to recognize and format the symbols appropriately. The same shortcuts used for navigation when entering standard chord symbols (e.g. Space, see above) are available for Nashville notation as well.

    罗马数字分析

    As of MuseScore 3.3, the Roman Numeral Analysis system is supported—a type of musical analysis where chords are represented by upper and lower case Roman numerals (I, ii, III, iv etc.), superscripts, subscripts and other modifying symbols. It is used to notate and analyze the harmony of a composition independent of its key (see External links for further details).

    Note: Unlike standard chord symbols and Nashville notation, which MuseScore formats using its own algorithms, RNA uses the free and open source Campania font to format the symbols. This allows MuseScore to format the symbols as you type, rather than applying the formatting only when you are done. Also, if you install the Campania font on your system normally, you can use it in other programs as well and benefit from the same formatting.

    输入RNA

    1. Select a start note;
    2. From the menu, select Add→Text→Roman Numeral Analysis. Alternatively, set up a keyboard shortcut to do the same thing in Preferences;
    3. Input the RNA symbols for the chord just like normal text, as follows;
      • Major chord: Upper case roman numerals
      • Minor chord: Lower case roman numerals
      • Diminished chord: o (lower case)
      • Half-diminished chord: 0 (zero)
      • Augmented chord: +
      • Chord inversions: Enter up to 3 single-digit numbers, top note first
      • Accidentals: # (sharp), b (flat)
      • For other symbols, see the images below, "Examples of RNA".
    4. Move the cursor forward or backwards to continue entering or editing symbols for other chords;
    5. When RNA is completed, exit by pressing Esc, or by clicking on a blank section of the score.

    Just as with standard chord symbols, you can type Roman numeral analysis normally and MuseScore will do its best to recognize and format the symbols appropriately. The same shortcuts used for navigation when entering standard chord symbols are available for Roman numeral analysis as well (see Keyboard commands (above)).
