Chord sketch
A bar per line, or per |. Several chords in one bar split it between them. [Name] starts a section. The bars arrive empty — type frets over the rests afterwards.

Bar
Insert drops an empty bar after the one you’re in and shifts the rest right. New bars arrive as rests — type frets over them.
Sections
A reference shows just its name — use it for a chorus or verse that repeats an earlier one. R turns any section into one; its notes are kept, only hidden.
