Chord Diagram & Symbol in part score for fretted instrument

Hi,

I can’t seem to find how to include chord diagram & symbol in the part score for a guitar. I remember seeing it as an option before.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hi @algae592009, see in Layout Options>Chord Symbols and Diagrams. Apply the desired options, first selecting the guitar part layout on the right panel of the dialogue.

I’ve looked at that section several times and tried choosing different options, but nothing happens. I still only see chord symbols on the guitar part.

You need to ‘activate’ the chord diagrams in Setup by specifying the guitar tuning
eg. Right-click the guitar player tab>Chord Diagrams>standard tuning (the default is set to no chord diagrams)

@Christian_R - that is only for the diagrams at the start.. You can also set diagrams to appear throughout the part… (as I described above)

I see, I misunderstood the request. Thank you.

Thank you so much. This is what I needed.

As always, I really appreciate the help and feedback from all members of this forum. You make this one of the best forums I’m part of.

My sincere gratitude.

Another question about chords: Why could it be that a chord I found on the list Dorico has, doesn’t show up when I write it in the pop window ?

It’s F4-3,6/4. The diagram is there. Any thoughts on this?
