mandolin fretboard diagrams
I'm a new user, with the latest version of Musescore (2.1.0 871c8ce)
I've created a new score, and chosen Madolin as the instrument, and created two linked staves. All good, and when doing that I had to choose 4 string TAB.
But when I look at the fretboard diagrams, I get guitar fretboards displayed, rather than 4 string mandolin ones.
So,
1. Should this swap automatically to the correct type of fretboard for the instrument selected?
2. If not, are there resources where I can find a custom palette of Mandolin chord symbols which I can import, or am I creating this from scratch? Not ideal as this will take a while - though will have the advantage of helping me learn them!

You'd have to create them from scratch

Thanks!
Shame there aren't any shared resources where things like this can be downloaded. I wonder how many people are repeating the same thing?

You could create them, save the palette and share the .mpal file here

Just investigating if I can copy them from somewhere else and import them as musicXML. And yes, happy to share when I get there...

No need to import an musicXML file.

As of this web page https://www.harpkit.com/blog/mandolin-chords-and-key-charts/,
I done this file in a way, common C chords, D chords, E chords, etc. (you can re-organize regarding of your preferences) : Mandoline chords file.mscz
And, by following, a specific palette of most common mandolin chords.
See this .mpal file that you can load: Mandolin Chords.mpal
Tooltips allow to identify chord names.

Thank you for this! Wonderful resource. I was just trying to create some thing similar for violin (if you can imagine ;) ) . This will save me so much time for my immediate needs. Thank you for sharing! I may still create something specific for violinist that may need more of a visual approach. Should be an interesting project, although something may be out there already just like this. Thank you for sharing your work.
