fret number placement in fretboad diagram
Hi Forums:
Sometimes I want to place the fret number in the middle of the frets shown in a fretboad diagram.
The reason why I want to do this is because in there are often very small changes to jazz chords that show where the music is going. By putting a few of those "lead in" or "lead out" notes in a fretboard diagram will allow me to see where the music is heading more clearly.... rather that learning this by switching back and forth betwee the 5-lines and the fretboard diagram.
I think that "where the music is going" should be expressed in both.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Old

This will be improved in the next 4.4 (the Beta version has just been released). On this page (https://musescore.org/en/node/366024), scroll down to: New style options for fretboard diagrams.
The first thing I noticed was the new ability (a very, very former request!) to show fingerings below the fretboard diagram.

Hello Cadiz,
Thank you for your reply. I'm glad to see new enhancements for fretboard diagrams. Fingering will be useful for many people.
I hope that future versions will include further improvements to fretboard diagrams that allows placement of the fretbard number wherever writers choose. I've attached an example of where it would be useful.
In my attached example, the chord is a triad in the minor major G7th that followed by a chromatic run from F# to E.
It would have been nice to indicate the minor major G7th is at the10th fret.
I hope for further flexibility in future Musescore versions that allow this!
Thank you!
