Guitar chord diagrams in Notation products

Hello Adrian,

Thanks for that good input.

Yes, for sure, the chord diagram feature will support user editing of the diagram.

That the "right" fingering depends on context make complete sense. All along I was aware that this contextual problem was the essence of doing good MIDI-to-tab transcription. However, it didn't really sink in with me that determining the "right" chord diagram is pretty much the same problem as doing good MIDI-to-tab transcription. I guess that is because I have seen notation apps for many years taking the other approach of offering the user the most common chord diagram, with an option to choose alternative chord diagrams. The approach of these other apps is more practical than trying to deduce what the best chord diagram is for the context. That's the approach I'll take initially.

Later I'll tackle MIDI-to-tabs. Maybe deriving from that MIDI-to-tabs effort will be some sort of tool that might suggest to the user good sequences of chord fingerings.

Thanks again for your thoughts about this.

Cheers
