# Create a new configuration using the GUI
From the Edit
menu choose Settingsā¦
and select the Presets
tab.
On macOS, the Settings are in the ChordPro
menu.
Here you will find the option for a new Custom Configuration File.
To create a new configuration file, filled with the default configuration; just click ‘New’.
A file-dialog will give you the opportunity the give your new configuration a name, save it and select it. Alter it to your needs.
# Important
The configuration file contains most of the ChordPro configuration
items, all commented out with a leading #
symbol. It is easy to
get started with configuring ChordPro by enabling and modifying just a
few items at a time.
For example, if you want your chords to show at the right side instead of at the bottom, locate
// Diagrams for all chords of the song can be shown at the
// "top", "bottom" or "right" side of the first page,
// or "below" the last song line.
# pdf.diagrams.show : bottom
Remove the comment symbol #
and change bottom
to right
:
// Diagrams for all chords of the song can be shown at the
// "top", "bottom" or "right" side of the first page,
// or "below" the last song line.
