Yes I saw it but I didn't find so much doc on it (maybe my fault ;-/ ). Nevermind, I would be glad to use the FretBoards context to build a chord lib. Please note I originaly started to write thios lib to save (?!?!?) time when facing similar chords. I will have a closer look on it. On an other hand, I am still facing to a human readable naming convention as long as names only accept letters.
