## Guitar chord diagrams and chord annotation

NtEd offers chord annotation and guitar chord diagrams

### Note

Use this feature only if you really want to show a guitar chord diagram or if LilyPond export is needed. To show a chord name use the Chordnames feature.

### Note

LilyPond does not allow all chord modificators. The modificator remains empty if NtEd has to export such a chord name.

To insert a chord annotation and/or a guitar chord diagram choose:

Insert → chord ...

The chord selection dialog appears

Choose a root and a modifyer. If you want to place a guitar chord diagram you should also select your preferred diagram by clicking on it in the right window. The guitar chord diagram is copied into the big left window.

By means of the checkbox `diagram` you can determin whether the chord diagram is created on score.

By means of the checkbox `text` you can determin whether a textual description of the chord is created created on score.

This way you can choose between:

- only the chord diagram

- only the textual chord description (not recommended, use the Chordnames feature in this case)

- both, chord diagram and chord description

Modifying an deleting chord annotations/chord diagrams works similar to modifying and deleting arbitrary text.
