Strings: The number of strings to be displayed.Scale: Allows you to make the fingerboard larger or smaller.Clear: Clears everything leaving an empty fretboard.
This allows you to add a variety of shapes if desired. Marker type: When you click on the fretboard image the shape of the dot added is determined by this property.If checked you can add multiple dots per string. Multiple dots: If unchecked you can only add one finger dot per string.If unchecked, barres are added by Shift clicking instead. Barre: Check if you want to add or delete finger barres with one click on the fretboard image below.When a fretboard diagram is selected, its properties are viewable in the Properties tab of the sidebar as follows: General (tab) Color: Click on this button to change the color of a selected chord diagram.Offset: Move the diagram horizontally or vertically.Min distance: Minimum distance from the staff.Select a chord diagram and click on Appearance in the Properties sidebar.Įdit the following properties as desired:.Another use of multiple dots per string allows other symbols to show optional notes, rather than delayed notes: Then, on successive beats marked by chord symbols, the chord fingering is modified to incorporate other shapes on the same diagram the usual playing order is: dot → X → square → delta, but this can vary. With this approach, the chord signified by round dots on the fretboard diagram is played first (see image below). Jazz guitarist Ted Greene and his successors are notable examples. Some arrangers and educators have extended the basic form of the fretboard diagram, incorporating finger dots of various shapes, and allowing multiple dots per string. However a number of other shapes are provided-cross, square and triangle-to enable other notation styles. The default finger marker is a round black dot, which suffices for standard chord (and scale) diagrams. Note: See also Fretboard diagram properties (below). Open / Mute strings: Click just above the diagram to toggle a string between:.Create multiple barres: Repeat the above steps at different fret positions.With Barre enabled, just click on the "top". Delete a barre: With Barre disabled, Shift click on the "top" of the barre.Then shorten it by Shift clicking (if Barre is disabled) or clicking (if Barre is enabled) the fret where you want the barre to end. Add partial barre ending before first string: Create a standard barre first (see previous instruction).If Barre is checked simply click on the fret. Add barre / partial barre: If "Barre" is unchecked, press Shift and click on the string fret where you want the barre to begin.If Multiple dots is checked you can add more than one dot per string. The shape of the dot is determined by the Marker type setting. Remove all dots: Click the Clear button above the diagram.In the General tab, selectively apply the following instructions to the fretboard image:.Edit the properties in the Settings tab as required.Press Clear to remove existing marks (optional).Ensure that the Properties panel is open (toggle F8).Select an existing fretboard diagram in the score or add one from the Fretboard diagrams palette.Note: Neither fretboard diagrams nor their linked chord symbols are affected by transposition commands. You can also add a new linked chord symbol to a fretboard diagram: see Entering a chord symbol. Adjust the diagram’s position manually if you need to override this.Ī linked chord symbol can be deleted independently of its parent diagram. This value interacts with the chord symbol “Minimum distance” ( Properties→Appearance). The default placement of a chord symbol in relation to its parent diagram is controlled by the “Distance to Fretboard Diagram” property ( Format→ Style…→ Chord Symbols→ Positioning). This linked chord symbol has the same properties as a stand-alone chord symbol and can be edited and moved as such. When any of the preset diagrams is applied to the score, a chord symbol is automatically placed above it.

They are commonly used for guitar chords, but MuseScore allows you to create diagrams for any stringed instrument.Ī library of common guitar chord diagrams (major, minor and 7th) is provided in the Fretboard Diagrams palette. Fretboard (or Chord) diagrams usually appear above the staff on lead sheets and piano scores:
