Use scale degrees instead of letters

Allow an option to display chords in scale degrees instead of letters. I find it is much more illustrative of the song structure and is very common for guitarists who are not classically trained musicians, which is probably most of your users.

"All right guys, this is a I-IV-V in B, watch me for the changes and try to keep up..."

  I really want this also.  In fact, I just put in the request myself as the "Nashville Numbering System".  But I see this request was put in six months ago.  Why do I get a feeling that Customer Support is not that responsive to the customers needs.  A comment from them on the feasability of this would be appreciated.

  while using scale degrees or the Nashville Numbering System sounds like a good idea, I don't see it helping anyone other than intermediate or advanced players leaving out the beginner and novice players which i would think make up a good portion of Chordify's base.

  I have only been playing for a year and while I do know the makeup of several keys, I do not have all 7 chords in all of the Major keys memorized yet. 

  I find it hard to believe that many Advanced players are using Chordify to learn from. Especially since I am a beginner and more than once have had Edit the chords or the beats on the chord sheet as they were incorrect or on the wrong beat...

  It wouldn't bother me if they stuck the numbering system along side the chord, but just the numbering system would be of no use to me yet...but that's just my 2 cents worth...

  Hi Norm:

   

  By no means would I want it to REPLACE the chord letters as they are most certainly very useful, but if you notice in the current app, there is an ability to change the KEY, and when that selection is made, different chords show up.  If one of the KEYS was "N", for Nashville Numbering System, a "V" and "vi" would show up instead of "G" and "Am" if the original song were in the key of C.

  This would just add an additional piece of flexibility and everyone can choose their own learning method.

  Why is this taking so long...? This is one of the most obvious, easiest, and essential features the site lacks. It surely couldn't take more than a few minutes to implement. Can't anyone else make a browser extension in the meantime?
