Chord diagrams
Chord diagrams represent the pattern of strings and frets on fretted instruments and use dots to indicate the stopped finger positions required to produce the corresponding chord. This demonstrates the specific shape of chords in a compact way and is useful if a particular voicing is required.
Changing the orientation of chord diagrams
You can change the default orientation of all chord diagrams project-wide, for example, if you want them to appear horizontal for educational purposes. By default, chord diagrams appear vertical.
