Squiggly Lines & Boxes (aka ur Roadmap)
Chord diagrams pop up when you tap a chord in the song viewer to unleash the Chord Inspector, or if you're feelin' fancy & turn 'em on via the Style Thingamajig Menu. You can totally customize how these bad boys get drawn. You're welcome.
Your Axe (Pick One)
This is where you tell us what instrument you're pretendin' to play, which then decides what chord diagrams show up. Banjo, Bass, Guitar (the safe choice), Mandolin, Piano, Ukulele, or Baritone Ukulele. No pressure.
Diagram Placement & Sizing (aka The Layout Freakout)
This whole section is basically "where do you want these things & how chunky should they be?"
- Position = where the diagrams gonna chill on your page: Below Lyrics (we're guessin'), Above Lyrics (fancy), or Crammed Within Lyrics (bold choice).
- Show Diagrams = literally just on/off. Revolutionary, amirite?
- Size = how many diagrams can squeeze across your page without cryin'. Pick 4 through 10. Default is 6 because we're reasonable people.
Options (aka The Tweaky Bits)
Bunch of dials you can fiddle with to make your chord diagrams look less… well, like chord diagrams:
- Font Size = how big the chord letters are inside the diagram. Choose from 9 (Default), 10, 11, 12, 14, or 16 pt. Living dangerously, I see.
- Handedness = flip it for us lefties. Default is right-hand because, y'know, statistics.
- Display Bars = auto-magically converts a bunch of fingers on the same fret into a barre chord. Laziness = genius.
- Display Fret Positions = slap those fret numbers on the left side so you don't have to remember where your fingers go. You're welcome again.
- Display Note = what sound plays along the bottom of your chart. Off, Finger Position (the default we picked for you), or Letter. YOLO.
Advanced (aka "We Know You're Extra")
This is where you get real picky about which chord diagrams show up:
- Show Only Exact Matches = be a total snob & only display diagrams that match exactly. E/G# means E/G#, not some knockoff E chord. We respect the commitment.
- Show Only Preferred Chords = kill the display of chord diagrams unless you hand-pick 'em using the Chord Inspector. Fewer diagrams = cleaner look, or maybe just a blank page. Your call, champ.
