Squiggly Finger Maps

Chord diagrams pop up when you tap a chord in the song viewer to open the Chord Nerd Panel, or if you turn on chord diagrams in the Vibe Check Menu. You can tweak how chord diagrams look using these settings. Buckle up.

Left Hand Diagrams

Flip this on & chord diagrams get mirrored for all you lefties with left-handed axes so you can play like a normal human. Default is off (because we assume you're right-handed, sorry).

Display Bars

Bars are those solid lines that run across a bunch of strings—basically where one finger gets to work overtime pressing multiple strings at once. OnSong figures this out from the fingering info in the chord, or just guesses if you didn't give us the goods. Kill this & you only get dots. Default is on.

Display Fret Positions

The fret numbers show up on the left side of the chord diagram so you actually know where to put your fingers. Default is on (you're welcome).

Display Note

The bottom of the chord chart has numbers that match up with the dots in your fret & string grid. Pick your poison:

• Off = radio silence. Nothing down there.
• Finger Position = tells you which finger (1–4: index, middle, ring, pinkie) is doing the work. Default.
• Letter = the actual note letter you're playin' on that string.

Show Only Exact Matches

OnSong shows chord diagrams in the Song Viewer & Chord Nerd Panel that match your chord, even if you added weird bass notes & got creative with variations. Flip this on & OnSong gets picky—only exact chord names get the diagram treatment.

Show Only Preferred Chords

When chord diagrams show up in your song viewer, OnSong auto-pairs chords to default diagrams based on the name. Most of y\u{2019}all know basic chords, so turn this on & you\u{2019}ll only see diagrams for chords you actually handpicked in the Chord Nerd Panel.
