Custom Fretboard diagrams
I let my frustration get the better of me (my apologies) while trying to understand in the handbook if creating my own custom fret diagrams and saving them for future use is possible. I followed all the directions and completed the steps successfully, accept I just couldn't seem to get the result I wanted. It seems Id have to actually edit them in the score from the provided palette each time. Is that correct? I created a palette that I named in the workspace and I can drag elements from other palettes to it, but what I want is to drag the fret diagrams that I have added and edited from my score to my custom palette. Is that possible? Reason being is I need to make major adjustments to the time signatures and when I do this it deletes all the chords I made, so Ill need to re enter them once I get things set up better. Im still learning the program and don't know much about navigating it.
My apologies for previously changing the title of a question. I have not been a user very long and don't know the technicals yet.

That is precisely the steps I’m trying and it does not work. Is that the command for Mac as well? I have tried over and over to hold ctrl+shift and drag the element but it will not move it to the palette. I can drag it around the score but not to the palette.

Probably Cmd+Shift on a Mac

You cannot do this if the work space is advanced, you need to make sure you are on a custom work space. Please don't be offended if this is obvious, we need to cover all of the possibilities.

Not offended at all, I’m glad to get any input. Yes I did understand that it will only work in a custom workspace, the command+shift was what solved the issue for my Mac. I was able to get all my custom fret diagrams pasted onto my palette with that command . Thank you for taking the time to respond. Your advice is essential to the initial process.

Wonderful !!! So glad to hear that. I knew there had to be a way when it said in the manual hat it is possible. Such a handy feature. I’m liking this program the more I learn to navigate it. Thank you
