Auto date, ©?

[dpRafe]

I'm using ChordSmith for original material. Is there a command I can use that will update date & time when a file is edited then saved? I end up with many different versions and sometimes lose track. I'd like an easy way to include as well without having to enter it into my printer settings.

If you’re using the Chord program to format the output, maybe you could define the Copyright phrase in the Process>Options window. Then insert it at the cursor with the Directives>Add Copyright menu item. It won’t be a footer on every page, but maybe it work at the top of the song under the title or subtitle. Here’s how the options window would look:


The Copyright notice is retained between launches of the Chord program.

Or, if you’re using an app that takes chordpro input and honors the “Footer” directive, you could use that, using the footer tool in ChordSmith:
{footer:27 Jan 2018 John Doe}

The Chord program ignores the footer command.
