Linux app for chord diagrams?
Is there any app on linux which could create chord diagrams, like these? I also need those diagrams to be transferable to a word processor.

Made in inkscape. I have added finger numbering to two of your original diagrams.

I have made an inkscape extension for drawing custom guitar chords, similar to the ones the OP showed.

The above chords are produced by means of a dialog box (Menu: Extensions -> Render -> Guitar chord...). It looks like this:

Thanks raboof!
This is my first code contribution ever. I barely know how to program but it has been great fun and best of all, it works!

@Pablo,
I didn't have much time for this lately, but I've finaly installed and tried the extension you've made, and it's awesome! Really neat and versatile, chord diagrams can be created anyway you want it, just what I was looking for. Much better then some dedicated apps I've tried. Thank you very much

Re: Linux app for chord diagrams?
I dont know if this will work on this forum but you can do chord diagrams in a text file. This uses gedit and the ASCII characters I got from a windows PC using alt and the numberpad.
You can type in zeros to show fingering like
and you can extend or modify it by copying and pasting etc.
You can get tab using the same kind of characters as well.
Code: Select all
