x diagram for a certain chord please set the fingers "by hand"!
Some aspects of exporting guitar chord diagrams!
================================================
MUP can deal with chord names and chord diagrams. But it expects
a chord diagram dictionary at top of file. Actually this is
no problem. But if you attach 2 different chord diagrams
for the same chord name there is no possibility to to distinguish
the 2 forms. To give every chord diagram an unique name
NoteEdit adds some underscores to the chord name. So be not
surprised if you named a chord "C7" and "_C7" is printed!
MUP cannot deal with a mix of some chords with chord diagram
and some chords without chord diagram. MUP cannot deal with barre.
MusiXTeX has an additional package called MusiXGui. This allows
to annotate guitar chord diagrams and chord names. It
works but unfortunately there is no possibility to add
a fret information. So, if the fret is not equal 1
NoteEdit appends the fret information to the chord name.
MusiXTeX/MusiXGui can only deal with full barre.
LilyPond cannot deal with guitar chord diagrams. Actually it has a
special feature for chord name annotation. But this is unusable
for NoteEdit export because it tries reverse mapping from
pitch combination to chord name. Thus, NoteEdit exports the
chord names as ordinary uptext. Unfortunately, LilyPond
does not take the width of the uptext into account. So
it can happen the chords overlap.
LilyPond has problems with # signs in uptext. Therfore # is
converted into +.
PMX can neither deal with chord names nor with guitar cord diagrams.
Thus, NoteEdit omits the information.
