Chord Results IconChord Results View

The Chord Results View shows the results of the calculation to determine possible fingerings for a certain chord. Besides, this view shows the results of the reverse calculation - (which can be used to find) the suitable chords to a corresponding fingering or musical notation.

Chord Results View

Chord Results View

The chord result set will be presented in a tabular form. The generated chords can be arranged in columns. The columns itself can be resized. Besides, unnecessary columns can be set invisible (see the preferences of this view).

In the first column you can mark interesting chords. The image data of the marked chords can easily be exported later on.

Since the result set may be very large, this view is divided into pages for the sake of clarity. If many pages exist the current page will be shown in the toolbar on the left side of the actions to turn the pages.
Note: The arrangement in columns is not restricted to the current page - but takes into consideration the whole result set.

This column shows the span of a fingering in millimeters or inches. Which measuring unit is used depends either on the settings for the active instrument (which measuring unit is used for the scale length) or on which measuring units were used for the calculation. If you have specified a measuring unit in the Chord Generation View it will also show up in this column.
