Is there any way to embed chord information in a song?
Can Logic Pro X embed 'chord change' information in a song in some way? For example, is there an a simple obvious way, like a 'chord information global track', that I'm overlooking? Or is there a more convoluted way to get chord information in a song, somehow using the 'Environment'?
This seems like a very basic necessity of a DAW for composers, so I must be overlooking something?
We all agree, right, that this is basic western music theory: chords form the structure of songs? (A music philosophy question.) For instance, a human 'voice instrument' can sing the melody, but the polyphonic instrument brings the support structure.
So when we record a song, it is not atypical to associate a chord tablature with a score. Indeed, it is often the case that only a chord tablature is provided, and is quite sufficient in itself, to carry a song.
So where is the ability to read (i.e., CONVEY and INTERPRET with Midi/OSC exchange) chord tablature in Logic Pro? This is supposedly a 'Pro' application, right? So Logic can read a song 'position', with markers, whereby a secondary app can take that marker position to que song location [e.g., song position (i.e., marker notated) can be recognized by an application like MainStage to quickly switch to various song locations, like the 'intro' or 'chorus']. So with a change in song 'position', a song will typically have a change in song 'chord structure'. Therefore if the Midi instrument can recognize (without human intervention) this embedded (notated) 'chord structure' (which I'm having trouble finding), it should be able to change the Midi notes it is playing to properly accompany the song's 'chord structure'.
Because what I just described should be somewhat obvious and intuitive to professional musician/composers, where in Logic Pro is the ability to embed 'Chord Structure' information, that I evidently am overlooking? Hopefully, some of the experienced 'pros', like Nigel, will chime in here.

The only workaround is to use the Score Editor with the the Chord Symbol and have a separate window open with it. Not a pretty solution, but at least something
... is that Chord Symbol information available for 'Midi Interpretation'? Can one somehow use it to alter the Midi notes being triggered by their Midi controller? That is, can Logic (or MainStage or...?) use that Chord Symbol information, through conveyance of interpretive Midi messages? (Sorry if this has an obvious answer, to someone already familiar with what you describe.)
This is what I've found so far on the Score Editor Chord Symbol:
https://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=31%26se ction=16
"Chord symbols are text objects designed for fast chord entry."
Based on that info, I doubt (but don't yet know for sure) whether they can translate over into the Midi realm for song structure composition/editing.
(Note, that link is to the Logic Pro 9 user manual, and I have yet to find a reference that succinctly and unbiasedly informs the reader what features APPLE HAS REMOVED from Logic Pro X. )

Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?
IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?
Ha! Perfectly classic case of XY problem! Pointed out by Jongware in some other thread recently - couldn't find an exact link right now...
In short:
User wants to do X.
User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks he can fumble his way to a solution if he can just manage to do Y.
User doesn't know how to do Y either.
User asks for help with Y.
Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.
Maybe it worth to add to a list of tips and best practices of the forum:

Like the subject line says - I set up a new account in itunes. Put in my personal information (credit card, address) but - when it came time to provide my email address - I gave one that does not belong to me (similar to my name but not my correct address). Is there any way to retrieve the information I inputted OR put in my correct email address?
Thanks.go to appleid.apple.com. Click on manage my acct. sign in using the email you provided (even if it is wrong, it is the one you provided, so technically it is your username.) Once you sign in, it should have your details right there, it will say "apple ID and primary email address" and to the irgh of that, it will say edit. choose edit, and provide the correct info.

I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive. Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!! I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs. Hope someone can help. Thanks!
I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>. It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

Is there a way to embed copyright information with forms?
I would like to put a copyright on custom forms I am creating, or not really a copyright but just an acknowldgement of my company as the creator of the form and of the practice which is using the form. Is there a way to embed this in a PDF. Not necessarily in a visible way either. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. My boss is demanding this so please help!
First you can add the information as a footer in the authoring program.
Next you can add custom meta data fields to include the copyright notice, contact information, and usage restrictions through the "File => Properties => Custom" UI or with JavaScript. Doc Properties info
You can also set the meta daa copyright through the "File => Properties => Description => Additional Metadata..." or with JavaScript. Doc Properties metadata
You can modify these scripts to make them functions that can be accessed by adding an option to an Acrobat menu item or as a tool bar button.
