Inserting Signpost Pairs

Beginning signpost chords represent the starting points of chord paths. They are distinguished by a green triangle, as shown in the following figure.

Beginning signpost

End signpost chords represent the termination of chord paths. They are distinguished by a red diamond symbol, as shown in the following figure.

End Signpost

All beginning signpost chords should be positioned at the left edge of the window. The position of the end signpost chords is determined by the length of the chord paths leading to them.

To insert a matching pair of signpost chords, right-click a chord in the Signpost list and click Insert into Chordmap on the shortcut menu. Beginning and end signposts are placed on the left and right edges of the chordmap, as shown in the following figure.

Inserting a signpost pair

You can move the end signpost to the left to create a shorter chord path.

If you inadvertently delete one of the pair of signpost chords, you can create a single chord in the usual fashion and then designate it as a signpost. For more information, see Inserting Chords in the Chord Path Window.

For an overview of how signpost pairs are used, see Beginning and End Signpost Pairs.
