Chord diagram showing finger placement

Midimannz

hello, I’m here from years of the OnSong app, primarily as I love the ST3 timeline feature, the multitrack player and the ability to send midi to all my gear.
The last significant tie to the other app is the “display chords”. I have a song list of over 600 which are on a request basis to audiences we play for. Some songs have chords played in particular fingering to sound more authentic. Think of ‘Back On The Chain Gang’ or ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’ where it’s nice to play alternate versions of chords.
Are you considering expanding the chord library ability to include fingering display?

That's why I like to have an occasional line of tab in my lyrics. I only wish that I could format it separately for lyrics and chords.

Can I ask, how do you format the chord?
Thanks, if I could get (only) the chords I forget in a friendly format, this would be the best program I’ve ever had .

Some people use pdfs, so you can put whatever you want on that. Myself, I'll just add them to the top of the lyrics before the Intro in text format like this:
Dadd9 x-x-0-11-10-0
Dmaj7sus2 xx0650
Em7 022030

If you need chord diagrams you will have to switch to PDF files.

I plan on switching to html output for lyrics in version 4 which would allow showing images in lyrics but its too early to make any promises. Especially as I don't play guitar myself and have no idea how to build these diagrams programatically.
