The following are frequently asked questions from users about the operation of Clover Chord Systems and the answers to those questions.

Why are the edges cut off when I print?

The margins are sent from the clover to the printer as zero. Depending on the printer, there may be some margins. Try adjusting the printer utility or other software.

Do articulation marks not follow the notes?

In this version, the specification is such that you can move it to any place you like to use it, but in the next version, the default position will be adjusted for each symbol and also changed to follow the notes.

Printing or PDF output on the Mac version cuts off the score.

Try it once: open TextEdit with Clover closed, create a new one, set the paper size to A4 in Page Setup, in Settings, choose Save as Default.

Why can’t I change the size of the letters I write with the text tool?

When writing with the Text tool, the OS font panel is activated. There, you can vary the font size by adjusting it.

Is it not possible to copy/paste by option+C or by dragging a selection normally?

Currently, only bar-by-bar copying is available. This will be improved in the future to make it easier to use.

I changed the partition of a tier from 4 to 3 and now the next tier is one bar. Do I then have to keep changing partitions?

It is designed so that changes to the partition do not affect subsequent sections. If you delete a measure that is half-way through in delete mode, you do not have to make any adjustments afterwards. It is recommended to proceed in this way when writing in advance.

Why does the octave change when I transpose?

The clover is designed to automatically adjust the octave to fit within the staff as much as possible, in order to free up as much chord writing area as possible. It is recommended to display it with octave symbols, but if you don't want to be able to write chords, you can transpose it by a further +12 or -12 to display it at the desired height.

Is it not possible to partially transpose?

Basically, transposition is performed on all measures. However, as you can transpose when copy-pasting, you can use this function to create a new measure somewhere and paste it where you want it to go, thereby partially transposing it.

When entering a code, the code displayed on the staff line cannot be erased.

When the Chord window is active, the window towards the staff cannot be operated. Codes can be deleted and rewritten by using the Clear button at the top right of the screen in 3-step mode. Once the Chord window is closed, it can be deleted at will.

Why can’t I erase a triplet once I’ve written it?

Once you have written a triplet, you can only delete three at a time. Click around the bracketed number ‘3’ to select all three at the same time, then delete them using the delete key.
