Guitar chord diagrams only at the top of the sheet

Hi, thank for MuseScore 3.

Instead of having Guitar chord diagrams on each dedicated notes
I would like just the chord nameon this note and only one guitare chord diagramm at the top.

I think there a way to do that
instead of create a line of diagram at the first line.

Thank you for your feedback

You could create images for each chord diagram using the camera icon on the toolbar and saving as .svg (scaleable). They will be saved in the musescore/images folder.

Then put them into a vertical frame at the top of your score: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/frames#Add_text_or_image_to_vertical_…

Hi @Bref Fox,
Thank you for your feedback.

I am not sure it is the best way.

it seems to me there is a command for chord diagram above a system or at the top of the sheet :).

If I understand it correct add all fretboard diagrams (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/fretboard-diagrams) to the first note of the score and adjust their position inside the inspector. For the score itself use chord symbols (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-symbols).

There is no command to place automatically fretboard diagrams at the top of the sheet. This is an option in Guitar Pro, not in MuseScore, for now anyway.
What you can do is insert a vertical frame (a second one probably, I guess you already have a title frame), add the necessary fret diagrams as usual, in first system.

Then disable automatic placement (Inspector), of the chord symbols AND fret diagrams.
Once this is done, all you have to do is: right-click on a diagram -> Selection -> All similar elements. And finally adjust the offsets as desired in order to position these diagrams in the added frame. So be it:
