Chord Diagrams

Chord diagrams be appearin' when ye tap on a chord in th' song viewer t' open th' Chord Inspector, or if ye turn on chord diagrams t' appear usin' th' Style Preferences Menu. Ye can change how chord diagrams be drawn usin' these preferences, savvy?

Left Hand Diagrams

When this be turned on, chord diagrams be flipped t' enable left-handed players (who use a left-handed instrument) t' play th' chord in a more natural manner. Default be off.

Display Bars

Bars be indicated by solid lines across many strings and represent where one finger be used t' depress multiple strings. This be determined by th' fingerings defined by th' chord variation, or determined automatically by OnSong if no fingerin' information be provided. If disabled, only dots be displayed on th' strings. Default be on.

Display Fret Positions

Th' fret positions be outputted on th' left side o' th' chord diagram. Default be on.

Display Note

Th' bottom o' th' chord chart contains numbers associated with th' dots in th' grid formed by frets and strings. These can represent one o' three options:

• Off shows no information at th' bottom o' th' chord diagram.
• Finger Position represents th' finger number used t' depress th' string. This ranges from 1 through four indicatin' th' index finger, middle finger, ring finger and pinkie finger. Default.
• Letter represents th' letter o' th' note that be bein' played by th' string.

Show Only Exact Matches

OnSong displays chord diagrams in th' Song Viewer and Chord Inspector that match th' chord regardless o' a split bass note and by normalizin' chord variations. Turnin' on this switch will require an exact match o' th' chord name t' display th' diagram.

Show Only Preferred Chords

When chord diagrams be displayed in a chord chart within th' song viewer, th' chords in th' song be automatically paired t' default chord diagrams based on their chord name. Most musicians know common chords, so turnin' on this switch will only output chord diagrams for chords ye specifically select in th' Chord Inspector.
