Can I input chord diagrams into tabs?
I'm currently writing a piece that has an acoustic guitar that goes back and forth from playing chords and a melody, and I want to place the fretboard diagrams in the tab when it's just playing chords, and have the melody in the tab when it's playing a melodic part. Is this possible or will I need to just manually write the chords out in the tab?
Thank you

You can add fretboard diagrams to TAB, (with or without linked notation), but you need an anchor note to attach them. You can make this note hidden and non-playing if required.

Okay, that's a bit more work but still possible. Here's an example with the stave lines hidden:
