Fingering charts in an extra frame above the sheet music
Hi there all together.
My name ist Harald and i am new in Musescore. I just want to make a collestion of songs for singing together with a guitar.
Here my question:
Is it possible to place the fingering charts in an extra frame in front of the sheet music? Then I would only display the guitar chords as letters above the notes.
Thank you for answers
Harald

No, not easily at least. There is, or once was, some infrastructure in the code for a special fretboard diagram frame, but never got used, as far as I can tell and remember.
You can create images of fretboard diagrams and place those in a frame at the door of the score

Thank you for your answer.
Would this be what you want?

Hello mikey,
I've been playing around with the fingerboard options. I liked the attached version best. But no matter which way you arrange the fingerboards, they don't move with the transposition. And certainly not transferred to *.mxl.
Thanks for your efforts
Kind regards
Harald

Okay, so how did each of you do that? If you would, attach the score, please.

I trashed the score I did it on, but I entered the chords the regular way, and dragged them to the top position. Then I entered the chord names over the measures as text.

I have exported the mscz score to SVG. There I saved the fretboard diagrams once each with Inkscape as individual fretboard diagrams as a file. This gives me the individual diagrams as a single file.
Then you have to mark the first note in Musescore and then create a vertical frame. You can drag the fretboard diagrams into this frame.

They won't update automatically if you transpose the music (but from what you had said earlier, I think you know that?). There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that at all.
However, just FYI, you don't have to attach the frame to a note. You can attach it to the clef or to the time signature without a note in the score.
