Feature Request: Add more fretboard diagrams options to Palletes panel.
Hi,
How about adding a more complete default library of Fretboard Diagrams for instruments besides just guitar (e.g., ukulele), possibly available in the Master Palette through "more elements" ("???"), similar to the Palletes panel's "Time Signatures" option? Freboard diagrams, selectable by instrument, tuning, chord types, could be dragged from the Master Palette dialogue box to the main Pallete, again similar to "Time Signatures". Perhaps, even add a chord diagram generator in the Master Palette which would list all the chord shapes available for a user-defined chord, including inversions, extensions, and suspensions.
My two cents,
Sam
PS: In my dream land, Musecore would also optionally play the fretboard diagrams, based on the staff's instrument selected, and have the option to auto convert chord diagrams into staff notation.

It's tough to know where to stop, but what I'd recommend is for people to create their own custom palettes of diagrams and then share those here.

Hi Marc,
I'll have to read up on how to do that. Thanks for the suggestion. Ya, the skys the limit with Musescore. However, it seems like it wouldn't take be too difficult to code more default chord options in the Master Pallete.

Pretty much my feature request (generate chords from dialogue box, auto-insert notes from diagrams into score, etc) are features available in Guitar Pro 7, which I just discovered now when trying out the trial version. However, I won't be making the switch over to Guitar Pro. I just love Musescore too much--it's open-source, non-proprietary philosophy, and excellent user interface. Still, Musescore could greatly enhance it's chord diagram features, which may entice string instrumentalists using Guitar Pro to switch over to Musescore, to support the Great Open-Source Revolution and its comrades.
