Like text, it is possible to add guitar chord diagrams to a
3
notation track (or to edit previously added ones). This is
5
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Guitar Chord</span></span>
6
button, and then clicking on the same area as for adding text.
7
This will open the Guitar Chord dialog. With it you can select
8
which guitar chord diagram you want to add from a chord
9
dictionary which comprises most of the common chord fingerings
10
by specifying a chord's root and its extension. For
11
convenience, the fingerings are sorted in three different
13
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">beginner</span></span>
15
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">common</span></span>
17
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">all</span></span>
18
. These categories are actually based on the chord extension
19
(A7 is a beginner chord, while A13 isn't), not on the
20
fingering itself, so you can still see "advanced" chord
21
fingerings listed, even in beginner mode.

26
It is also possible to add your own fingerings if needed. To
27
do this, click on the 'New' button. This will pop up a chord
28
editor, where you can "draw" which fingering you want to add,
29
and specify its root, chord extension, and starting fret
31
<div class="screenshot"><div xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="mediaobject"><hr><img src="rg-guitarchordeditordialog.png" alt="Rosegarden's chord editor dialog
34
Note that while you can choose the extension from a list of
35
predefined values, you can also type whatever value you want.
36
However, in that case, the new fingering will only be
37
available in the 'all' list. Also, you can only delete and
38
edit your own chords. Those from the predefined dictionary
39
cannot be changed. If you spot a mistake in one of them,
40
please report it to the development team.
