Parenthesis in Chord Name

[Rockfirstlast]

Can parenthesis be allowed in chord names in a future update?

 

I tested some normal situations (edited the xml file) and there are no crashes or hangs.

 

I don't import guitar pro's, but if silly names are being imported they don't seem to crash the game either.  I tried these:

 

(AbMaj7)

((((((((((G7b9

((((EbMa)(j7((((no3))

 

and the game did not crash, even when accessing the chord book.

 

On Disk Example:
Splashh - "All I Wanna Do"  Em7(no5)

Official DLC example:
Alice in Chains "No Excuses" Ab(add9)

FYI,

I tested a chart with only 2 chords named ((((((((((G7b9 and ((((EbMa)(j7((((no3)).  They never showed up in "Rocksmith Recommends" even after refreshing a dozen times.

It's on my to-do list, but I'll bump up its priority.

@@raynebc Any news on this? i'm tackling a song where i have some relatively complex chord name and i have no idea what character i can use to make it looks nice especially since parenthesis aren't authorized.

 

One thing that could help make a proper research regarding special character into chord name in official DLC is this list :

All chord name are listed and parenthesis seems to be used a lot.

 

If you need any of those files, i'd be happy to share them.

I'd forgotten about this, but I'll try to get parentheses to be allowed soon.

Now that I look at it again, I already did this. EOF allows parentheses during RS2 export and it seems to work (shows up in the XML). If it's not showing them in-game, is it possibly a toolkit issue?

I assumed it wasn't the case because of this :

Might be good to adjust the warning then :)
