The Purge Chordshapes window is available only in Library View and is opened with the following command:
| Menu |
| Chordshape-Purge |
It allows you to delete many chordshapes from the library in one operation, depending on whether they satisfy a particular criteria or not.
Controls
Chordshapes Which
This dropdown list allows you to select which chordshapes you want to purge from the library. It can be one of the following:
Satisfy the current filter - Any chordshapes which satisfy the current filter will be purged. These are all the chordshapes currently appearing in the Library List.
Do not satisfy the current filter - Any chordshapes not satisfying the current filter will be purged. These are all the chordshapes in the library not currently appearing in the Library List.
Satisfy library searching options - Any chordshapes which satisfy the Searching options will be purged. These are all the chordshapes in the library not marked with a red question mark.
Do not satisfy library searching options - Any chordshapes which do not satisfy the Searching options will be purged. These are all the chordshapes in the library marked with a red question mark.
Have any matching chords - Any chordshapes which have any matching chords will be purged. Usually most chordshapes have at least one matching chord.
Have no matching chords - Any chordshapes having no matching chords will be purged. These are the chordshapes shown in the last, empty, group in the Library List.
Contain any fret position in range - Any chordshapes containing any of its fret positions in the specified range will be purged. Two additional dropdown lists appear with this option, so that you can specify the lower and upper fret in the range. For example, a range of Fret 9 to Fret 12 would delete the chordshapes x11099 and x99877, but not 577665.
Have lowest finger position in range - Any chordshapes containing its first finger position (excluding mute or open strings) in the specified range will be purged. Two additional dropdown lists appear with this option, so that you can specify the lower and upper fret in the range. For example, a range of Fret 9 to Fret 12 would delete the chordshape x11099, but not x99877 or 577665.
From Fret

If you accidentally complete a purge operation you can undo it immediately afterwards with:
| Key | Menu |
| Ctrl+Z | Chordshape-Undo |
