If you want to save the new fretboard diagram you have created for future use , Ctrl + Shift (Cmd + Shift for mac) and drag the diagram to the fretboard diagram palette.
@@yourguitarscore4601 Correct... It's a year later and I still haven't figured this out. Have you? Thanks so much. ps. I haven't actually been sitting here trying for a year. You know how it is, we go through phases. But boy would it be nice to able to have the fingerings for scales and chords. Cheers.
@@SteveStockmalMusic Yes, I see that there is now the ability to add left hand fingering for fretboard diagrams (you can find that in the properties pane, where you'd normally edit your diagrams). Left hand fingering for scales can also be found in the drop down menu under 'guitar' in the palettes menu, or in the 'fingering' drop down menu.
Not in Musescore, as far as I know. You could check out this online tool though-might be what you're looking for: www.oolimo.com/en/guitar-chords/analyze.

Thanks for this video - Can the diagrams that you create be saved to some type of master library so that they can be reused in other songs, i.e. so that I don't need to keep recreating the same diagrams over and over?
To be honest, I'm not sure. Maybe someone else in the comments knows the answer to this? If so share your knowledge :-). If I can find the answer, I'll let you know.

@@yourguitarscore4601Thank you. I haven't used the program but all I was able to find in the docs is that the diagrams could be saved to the palette which is hardly any kind of useful library. Another thought I had was perhaps being able to insert the diagrams into a project file in some type of organized manner, and copy from there into the project I'm working on, but that's more of a workaround and I don't even know if it's possible. But yes, please let me know if you find anything in the program that allows for it.

But some people like me dont know how to work with guitar or fretboard diagrams. I just want to add a F# for example that is not listed, and I don't have any idea about how to move dots and that stuff, I want a very handy diagram already created. So how can do it if I don't know nothing about guitar diagrams?
Unfortunately, besides the limited chord shapes that are listed in the chord diagrams templates, I don't think that exists on Musescore. I may be wrong-if anyone out there knows any better than I do please leave a comment.
You'd add a fretboard diagram as usual, then with the fretboard diagram selected go to properties > appearance > and reduce the number of strings from 6 to 4 (it's in the same place where you'd adjust the size of the fretboard diagram).

That's a great tip-thanks. I'll probably make a video on this 👍
Great tip, thanks! I will probably make a video about this since I think people would find it helpful 👍
That's everything i needed, thanks!
You're most welcome!
very helpful
Glad I could help 👍
Thx! In the newest version as of 7/11/24 you may need to go to Palettes -> Add Palettes -> Fretboard diagrams
Thanks for the heads up 👍
Great job, thank yo.
Is there any way to add fingerings, like for scales?
Thanks again
Thanks! Yes, I think so-I know I've seen it somewhere before. I'll add it to my (ever-growing) to-do list 🙂
@@yourguitarscore4601
Awesome, Thank you 🙏
I teach guitar and like to make chord and scale diagrams for my students.
😊
@@SteveStockmalMusic Ah awesome. So you do the scales in traditional music notation and want to add the left hand fingerings on that?
@@yourguitarscore4601 Correct...
It's a year later and I still haven't figured this out. Have you?
Thanks so much.

hi is there a way to detect the chord name while you edit it? To see in case od augmented or diminished,to find new voicing?
Not in Musescore, as far as I know. You could check out this online tool though-might be what you're looking for: www.oolimo.com/en/guitar-chords/analyze.

I don't seem to have a properties tab. how do I add that? thanks!
All you'd do is go up to View in the top toolbar and then select Properties. That should add it to your left sidebar.
@@yourguitarscore4601 amazing thanks you that did the trick!
did you have to input the notes for standard notation or can the software do it automatically once you've put the tab in?
The software will do it automatically, but you still have to input the correct rhythmic values in the tab. Hope that makes sense.
Hi, thanks for this. Is this Musescore 4?
You're most welcome. Yes, it's Musescore 4.

How do you add ukulele fretboard diagrams?
