Outlining Songs/Chords/ Nashville Numbers/making notes question

I never use the Arranger Track for what it was designed for.
I use it to show the sections of the song.

The Chord tracks are useful (didn’t use them at all for a few decades!) but have lately been doing it after I figured out how to map it faster.

BUT I would also like to be able to use “Nashville Numbers” (In Key of C, a C chord is 1, a minor chord like an Am in key of C would be 6- dash for minor) . Often more beneficial for some music and for other people I have working.

I also often draw a MIDI block when I have an idea for a section. I’ll just draw a block and write "play melody backwards on accordion…blah blah).

Is there a way to make the Font larger on MIDI and Arranger Blocks?
And in the future, I would love a Numbers option for Chords but am happy to write them on a different track if I can get the font larger.

Anyone else use this?

There is no way unfortunately.

This would always require a scale event in the Chord Track, which would define the 1. Seems generally doable. Now you just have to find enough others users to support thi feature request, so that Steinberg will take note of it. For thiss endeavour it might be a good idea to create an individual topic and tag that as a feature request. The unwritten, inofficial forum rule is: One request per topic.

I have this option set up in my chord track presets. It allows you to change the chord pad to the number system. I just save as a major and minor preset so if I change keys it’s still keeps it Nashville.
