Repeat a section

[ecstrema]

Hey!

I have two requests for chord chart studio, and I'm not sure if they should belong to here or chord-mark.

The first one is the ability to repeat a section without stating its name. Take Gimme Gimme from ABBA

The verses go like this:

#v

Dm
_Half past twelve
         G                                                    %
And I'm _watching the late show in my _flat all alone
 G Dm
How I _hate to spend the evening on my _own

Dm
_Autumn winds
         G                                           %
Blowing _outside the window as I _look around the room
 G Dm
And it _makes me so depressed to see the _gloom

Since the first chords are the same as the second, I'd love to be able to write just

#v

[#verse1]
Dm
_Half past twelve
         G                                                    %
And I'm _watching the late show in my _flat all alone
 G Dm
How I _hate to spend the evening on my _own

[#verse1]
_Autumn winds
Blowing _outside the window as I _look around the room
And it _makes me so depressed to see the _gloom

The second request is that the repeat doesn't work for n >= 10.

e.g.:

#i x9
works

#i x10
doesn't work

Since it's quite common in solo sections to repeat more 12, 16 or more times (in gimme the bass solo is 4 measures x12), I believe it's an issue.

Thanks, chord chart studio is very nice to use

Just corrected the second issue, which was actually wrong.

Hello!

Sorry for the late response.

1/ I get your point and this occurs quite frequently. I did not find a satisfactory way to solve this, though. I'm not sure I get your proposed syntax? The currently implemented workaround is to use the % and %% symbols to get back the previously defined chord lines. There is currently a limit of 2 %% but I guess I could improve this.

2/ Totally legitimate request. Should be fixed by no-chris/chord-mark#637
