Does anyone know of any software that will create nice looking horizontal fretboard diagrams for fingerings? Sibelius G7 will create chord grids as will Sebelius 5. I spoke with a rep from Sibelius asking why G7 didn't have that option or any updates in a long time, he simple stated that he didn't know.

I use this program called visio by microsoft. It's really meant for buisness to make charts and stuff like that but you can draw lines,circles and just about anything you can imagine. I drew up fretboard diagrams in it and I have colored in circles that I add for different scales. I do the same for chord diagrams. I think they have a trial version on line. I don't know how detailed the trial is though!

Al - do you just want the blank charts and TAB lines or do you actually want to do chord charts and diagrams. If you need to do chords and charts you'll have to use something like PowerPoint - but it's pretty clusy at creating what we'd want. I just use blanks and draw what I need with the best pen I found for the job - the Pilot Hi-tecpoint V10 Grip. It's a 1mm point gel pen that just works so well for writing music and charts. Never found anything better. (And they come in Red, Blue, Green and Black).

Hi Al,
I use some of the tab and chord diagrams that I downloaded from Guitar COllege a few years ago (I don't know if they are still on the site), but they are word files, so I can actually write on them in Word. Also, I'm pretty sure a program called MusEdit has an option that does fretboards. I've used it for tab and notation, but I think that you can get it to create a fretboard and write on it on the computer. --Eric

If anyone wants email me at coach@chrisdowning.co.uk I'll send them a file with about 25 charts I use. Can't imagine there's anything else you'd need! I'll stick them on my website soon as well.
