I have been using tiddlywiki for years - I Love it
I Particularly LOVE the way it is easily searchable etc etc.

Wat I am trying to achieve is using it for music - Chord sequences

I am struggling getting tables to work nicely.

What I am after is a way of writing down chord sequences ( as a kind of aide memoir )
to view on my iphone so when I play piano - i dont have to carry sheet music about.

so 

c          |  D7          | Gm7        | AbMaj

C          | Gm7       |Bb             | F#maj


that sort of thing .... :)
However - when i try - the bars are all over the shop

Anyone ever had any success at formatting the tables nicely - with blank rows to make it clearer?

The WikiText for tables in VERY clever. It is one of the high points of TW parsing. 
See: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Tables%20in%20WikiText

For your example here is a starting point ...

|chord-thing|k
|c |D7  |Gm7 |AbMaj |
|&nbsp;|<|<|<|
|C |Gm7 |Bb  |F#maj |

<style>
table.chord-thing {border:none;border-bottom:1px solid lightgrey}
table.chord-thing td {border:none;border-top:1px solid lightgrey;}
</style>

That gives in view mode ...

Regarding the BLANK row. One simply adds an invisible space and collapses the columns, as above example. 

Best wishes

Hi,
I do have no idea, what that is and what you need, but I think this may be interesting: http://musicsheets.tiddlyspot.com/

Are you trying to include words and space the chords proportionally , or just the sequence of chord symbols? If it's just the chords I think this is pretty simple -- you even have the syntax right except that you should have a bar at the beginning and end of each line as well.

OH WOW!!!!!!

That is EXACTLY what I was after.
I didn't know HOW to explain it - but that's even better than I could have asked for .

Many Thanks

Now I have to learn   ABC format - to write some out
