Indeed, it would be much more clear if the notes should match the fingering,
but then the notes should be adjusted, not the fingering But then the basic
structure of a chord gets much less clear. It already was suggested both
could be shown in the presentation.
Chord diagrams are actually almost only used in popular music, which is,
when it's about guitar, mostly based on chords. These chords are basically
shortcuts, to grab them quickly. When it's about these predefined chords,
we're talking about these quickly to take chords. They almost never are only
the 3 notes of a chord, with this I mean, without doubled notes.
To be even more perfect, these notes should appear in the right order,
because we otherwise could have inversed chords, and these are named
differently too (D/F# for example... 200232). Then almost all of the
suggested diminished chords will have to be changed, to a more difficult to
grab chord, including all those other chords we even haven't looked at.
If only fingerings are shown that are 100% theoretically correct, we end up
with a chord list nobody uses, and the purpose of the predefined guitar
fretboards is gone. Though extending the chordlist with these inversions
would be nice too ;-) .
That's why, I thought at least, these predefined chords are created, to make
it possible to quickly write them down in lilypond. When it's about
theoretically 100% perfect chords people still can create their own fret
diagrams.
Let's stick to the purpose of these predefined guitar fretboards.
Here an example of how it could change :
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
Chords = \chordmode {
e:m
}
notes = {
\relative c
{
<e, b' e g b e >1| <e' g b>
}
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames { \Chords }
\new FretBoards { \Chords }
\new Staff{
\clef "treble_8" \time 4/4 \notes
}
>>
}
