I tried out my first fret diagrams just recently and I ran into a puzzling
situation.
Whereas in standard guitar tuning, the A major chord diagram would look like
this:
aFretDiagram = \markup
\fret-diagram #"6-o;5-o;4-2;3-2;2-2;1-o:"
And the standard A7 diagram would look like this:
asevenFretDiagram = \markup
\fret-diagram #"6-o;5-o;4-2;3-o;2-2;1-o:"
(I'm not worrying about fingering for now.)
I have a custom way I like to play the A7 chord which imho provides a
brighter 7th sound. It should look like this (using the same coding):
asevenspecialFretDiagram = \markup
\fret-diagram #"6-o;5-o;4-2;3-2;2-2;1-3:"
That is, the standard A chord with the G (seventh) played on the first
string at the third fret.
But any time I tried that in my lead-sheet, all it would display was the
standard A chord. The only way I could display an A7 chord was to use the
standard one.
Can anyone suggest how I'm going wrong?
Thanks,
