Add chord name to ukulele fret diagrams

• Mar 7, 2024 - 02:17

In Musescore 4, how can chord names be added to ukulele fret diagrams? The only way I can do it now is to insert a fret diagram the do a to insert the chord name above the fret diagram.

Would be nice if the chord name is incorporated in the display of the fret diagram.

I don't know how do you do. Works fine here (Windows10, version 4.2.1), see:

I originally used Ukulele Chords_gcea.mpal then switched to Ukulele Chords.mpal which has the chord names linked so now the chord names display in the score.

Looks like whoever created the fretboard diagrams your using didn't include linked chords.

See this thread https://musescore.org/en/node/356136

Now that I found an mpal with linked chord names, is it possible to get the chord names displayed in the fret diagrams in the palatte elements?

Hover your mouse over the diagrams and a tooltip will appear, giving you the information you require

Thanks for the tip. Now I can show an ukulele teacher friend how to use Musescore to create charts instead of writing them out by hand. I currently input is handwritten charts into Musescore while I'm familiarizing myself with using ukulele fret diagrams.
