This Button lets you set the Preferences for new ChordDiagrams and change the style of selected chorddiagrams. You can turn Auto-Mode off and add more strings if you like. The Chord-Code is what will create the Diagram. Here you can also have a look at the autogenerated Chord-Code. So if you want to show 12 Frets but only have Dots until the 10th Fret then add some text to the 12th FretLabel eg an empty space. The result Diagram will only include filled Frets or Labels. The Editor supports 1 to 6 strings and 1 to 12 Frets.Ĭtrl+Click will change the Dot Style: Black = circle, grey = square, blue = Diamond. This Button lets you insert or replace selected chords by Editing in a Chord-Editor. Just look at Code generated by the Chord-Editor More Dots on the same string (for scales) can be entered by using - so this will create a Grid with 1 string and 3 dots: So the F-Chord can be changed into a G-Chord at the 3rd Fret only by adding a FretLabel to the first Fret: G:/3/3/2//:B1:L1,III When you add a FretLabel to the first Fret then the Nut will be removed. You can add FretLabels to any Fret with :Lfretnumber,text e.g. Partial Barrees can be input by giving Start and End values Example: Dm7:x/x/0/2//:B1(2-1) To add text to the Dots, Barrees or FretLabels type: ,text so: C:x/3,3/2,2/0/1,1/0 adds text into the Dots.īarrees are added with :B and Fretnumber e.g.: F:/3/3/2//:B1 is a standard F-chord For a square add s behind the number, for a diamond add d behind the number e.g.: C:x/3d/2s/0/1/0 The MainSyntax is: Name:Dots:Barrees:FretLabelsģ kinds of Dots are possible: Default is circle. c-scalefull will create the horizontal Diagram shown in the screenshotĪlternatively you can also type in a Chord-Code e.g. To create horizontal Diagrams type "-" so e.g. These default types can be transposed by the Extension "ChordTransposer" įurther types are: -scale and -scalefull.

(But the SVG-Export is broken on the mentioned Linux systems) Please Note: There is something broken with all LibreOffice versions up to 5.4.3 and all OpenOffice-Versions I tested on Linux Mint and Ubuntu, which also breaks some cool functions (import and apply styles, edit existent chords with Edit-Button, export images).
