# 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

Configuration files accumulate, and ChordPro always starts with the built-in default config. It is strongly advised to strip all default values from the generated config and only leave the modified settings in.
