Guitar Fretboard Diagrams!

• Oct 11, 2023 - 03:26

Hi,

I have followed the instructions here https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/fretboard-diagrams#add-fretboard-di…

I have two main questions / issues. I need to create an Am7 fretboard diagram. I was able to start from Am and change the dots so that the correct chord is shown. But I can't see anywhere to change the name? It still says Am over the top. Also, I can't see any way to save it, is there a way to save this diagram to the palette so I have Am7 at the ready for next time?

Bonus questions! I see there are different styles available for the dots, but is there any way to get the dots to show finger numbers? Like a dot with a number 1 in it to show that that note should be fretted with index finger? Also, is there any way to make the dots bigger relative to the rest of the diagram? That way I could superimpose my own finger numbers if needed.

thank you1!!1

Sloppy workaround, I used "chordpic.com" and then imported the images into my score. But still curious if there's a good way to do this "in the box" wha

I'll be frantically refreshing this page in the meantime <3

Regarding renaming the diagram's text from Am to Am7—that is not an option in the dialog, however, in the score, simply double click the Am and add the 7 ... or type whatever you want as a name. MuseScore has a set of logical names and only those will playback when play enabled.
