A monorepo of all the conventional chord packages.

Usage

You can re-define these defaults in Chord by simply adding a Chord Package with a new definition for one of these sequences (e.g. if you don't use Safari which is defined as /b in these defaults, you can simply a new chord to /b and it will be used instead.

You can also use this Chord Package as a template for creating your own chords. See development.md for detailed instructions. When defining your own chords, it's recommended to follow the conventions below.

Default Global Keys

In the default chord package, these are the categories assigned to the global chords (which must start with a non-alphanumeric character). If you want to define your own custom global chord which doesn't fit into any of the following categories, it's recommended to use one of the remaining symbols (`, [, ], ;, but NOT ' or \ since they're reserved).

' is reserved for pass-through input during Chord Sentences. \ is reserved as an escape character for serialized chords.
