Customizing chords diagram : chord name, notes generated on TAB or standard staves ! That would be nice

• Dec 11, 2019 - 22:11

Tks for the palettes enhancements, Helps improve workflow. May I suggest a few "very nice to have" twists related to Chords Diagrams.

Hoovering diagrams in the palette displays the chord name, which is defined in the diagram properties. A double-click on a diagram loads it on the staff along with the Chord name, only for the 21 predefined diagrams. I guess it could be simple to carry over the chord name defined in the diagram properties which shows up properly but has to be retyped (Ctrl-K).

Generating entries in a TAB staff based on the diagram could be very usefull - after all, a TAB display is nothing but a rotated chord diagram. At this point in MS my guess is that the chord diagram is only a "visual element" and does not carry info for note naming, ... if info is generated it could make it easy to tie a chord diagram to any kind of staff and have the chord generated in place for a pre-selected duration.

All of this would be very well received in the "guitar world" Thanks for what comes up !
