Chord diagrams don't render a barre symbol or other common annotations

When I render this, it does not extend to full context.

%4/0.7/1.9/3.8/2.9/4.4/0[Emaj7]

I hope that it would be rendered with everything in it
Thanks for your work.

currently only common, usually open tunings are support in chord notation.

Be nice to be able to:
(a) specify specific variations to render
(b) interact with the chord diagram to select/browse variations

Hello!

I found this JS lib is great and I really want to integrate it in my website.

However I found it not supporting chords like G/B , D/F#, A/C etc...

Is there any plan to make it support? Or I just missed out anything ?

Thanks a lot!

It would be much appreciated if the jQuery library was updated to the newest version so it is compatible on sites with jQuery already loaded with the newest version.

There appears to be a clash with a Google Adsense Script. For example chords do not render when on a page with the following part of Google Adsense script.

As suggested by @binarybitlan :

.. the ability to make new chords without having to edit the script; basically it works like this:
Usage:
jtab.AddChord("ChordName", Chord-Array);

Example of Add:
jtab.AddChord("Dsus4l", [ [ 0, [-1 ], [-1 ], [3,2], [2,1], [3,3], [3,4] ], [ 12, [-1,-1], [-1,-1], [12,1], [14,2], [15,3], [15,4] ] ]);

This function should work fine, and you can see what changes I needed to make in order to get this functionality, and it really does make this script much easier to use; because I make up chords as I go along, and I never know what to call them...

see code at: http://media.binarybit.com/media/downloads/jtab/jtab-j.js

currently color is fixed as black, with transparent background.
Propose to pick up color settings from CSS styling of the enclosing HTML element.

Add drawing effects for:
hammer-on
pull-off
bend
release
trill (For trils I use ~~~ but they are not so clear as they are plotted right on the line... could it be say 0.5mm above the line?)

suggestion from Rob Vissers

Why is my custom notation %X/X.0/0.0/0.2/1.3/2.2/3[Re] is not rendering as the built in "D" chord? It is correct but mine is getting moved up by a fret.
Is there something I am doing wrong?

Currently only six-string beasts. No bass, lutes, mandolins, banjoes etc etc..

currently diagrams are drawn in only one size. Add ability to support at least 3 sizes.
Side goal: squeeze 4 bars of tab to a line

0.8.6 is out. Multiple bug fixes. Especially Firefox 3.0.x issue and IE issues. (11-Aug-2009)
see http://raphaeljs.com/

I entered E7sus4 at the example page here: http://jtab.tardate.com/ and didn't get anything jtabbed.

E7 and Esus4 worked as expected.

I'm not sure if my notation was wrong (perhaps an example?) or if this is a case that doesn't work.

It would be great if i can write music with jTab notation and when it renders, notes notes will also be present.

Suggestion: I haven't seen a way to display a guitar neck horizontally, in order to show a scale or an arpeggio. Is it actually available? Will jTab soon manage this? Thanks.

I wonder how do i call render() method to render single chord without showing three splitter line on the right?

from the mailing list:

I couldn't see any way of generating a new line from multiple chords. Is there a way (apart from multiple shrtcodes etc)?

Please see http://www.gazzamit.co.uk/chords/chord-generator/. This can produce multiple lines.

I have just created a small parser file to explode user input on commas and then render on submit.

This is using wordpress with a plugin called Guitar Chords and Tabs v 1.2.2.

I'd love to get this to work with realtime render, however, I can't as the user input needs to be parsed first.

jasonong added initial sample e.g. C:1, C:2, C:3, C:4, C:5
Needs to be extended for all CAGED positions

6 string chord notation i.e. X02220 for A:1
a simple parsing change, however extending above 9th fret poses a problem - for now, propose to require fallback on "." notation at that point.
e.g. C:4 = 8.10.10.9.8.8

pathArray[0] is undefined

suggestion from Rob Visser:
I learn a lot of my songs through DVD's or online MP4's where the
teaching artist says1st finger on B second fret
second finger on G third fret fourth finger on D fith fret...
Whilst he does his blah I write up on the white board B2 G3 D5
(I am not really concerned about the fingering cos I want to tab this)
Currently I have to translate this to $2.2.$3.3.$4.5 I would be
handier if I could enter
$B.2.$G.3.$D.5 avoids me having to count EADGBE 654321 ;-)

Reported by Jeremy:
I sent message to Paul after posting the one above while I was waiting
for it to be approved and thought it a good idea to share it here with
everyone also...

I forgot to mention that I tried specifying the fret with several
commands, for want of a better word, I tried everything from...
Dm7b5:1 Dm7b5:2 Dm7b5:3 Dm7b5:4 Dm7b5:5
but all to no avail, the chord I was referring to in the Google group
post was Dm7b5:2 it is the correct shape I was looking to use but as I
mentioned in the wrong position.
Do you have any tutorials for editing the js file and making new
chords to add to it. I know nothing about js but would love to chime
in occasionally when the need arises to add a new chord.
All the best...

Here is a post I added to my blog with the chord in q
http://rhythmicguitar.com/blog/jamin-the-blues-bosser
you can find it in the section called Part 2

There appears to be a clash of script between jtab and Google Adsense code. In particular chords will not render if placed on a page with this part of Google Adsense script.

D Chord is wrong in obsidian. The 5th string should be x.

I tried using a custom D chord but then the nut is not rendered.

Reported by Rob:
Last night I was converting $1.0.$2.1.$3.2.$4.2.$5.0 to x02210 which simplifies things a lot. I noticed however that no matter how many spaces you have between x02210 x02210 it always only renders to one space whereas before I used the spaces to indicate timing. Is this a difficult issue to fix? For now I will just keep to the more extensive notation $1.0 etc...

Hi! I am trying to add a chords tab for Blower's Daughter.
It includes this chord:

It looks like add11 isn't supported by jTab, is that right?

Slash chords like C/G are not rendered.

• do we really need lowpro dependency?
• work as a chainable jQuery function

missing 5ths, 9ths, 13ths, sus, dim aug and maj variations.
Just a matter of data entry!

Add the ability to render fifths, like C5.

I notice that there is a commented out line to switch the numbering system form Roman Numerals to Arabic Numerals.

What would be needed for this to be a 'configurable option'? Something like a data-attribute on the #jtab element which could be read by jTab to decide which numbering system to use?

Breaks when used with underscore library. http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/

Seems Raphael library doesn't directly support wrapping. Which means that if there are many chords presented, they float outside of the div's width.

If found that if I modify the code so that it uses "fill" instead of "stroke" for the text color that it looks much more crisp.

Example
this.text(10, 10, "Bm7").attr({stroke: this.tab_text_color, "font-size":"20px"});

Would it be possible to include a simpler way to render chord diagrams without requiring finger selection?

E.g. instead of

%7/2.X/X.7/3.7/4.6/1.X/X[Bm7b5]

, allow

7x776x [Bm7b5]

or even unnamed chords like

7x776x

?

I found Dm:2 is wrong in obsidian ,it render as Cm.

It would be cool to have support for strum patterns to produce something like the following.

I may fork the project and work on this myself. I need it for a new app idea I've got.

I wanted to use this on a Drupal site, it uses Ubercart, which has a script that uses jquery;
Error: $("#edit-uc-file-download-limit-duration-granularity:not(.ucGlobalFileDownloadGranularity-processed)", context).addClass is not a function
URL: http://domainname.com/sites/all/modules/ubercart/uc_file/uc_file.js?W
Line: 45

rendering currently takes ages in IE8 compared to FF or IE7/6 on my machine

The regex used to get notes in custom notation is not accepting the empty square brackets
so the brackets are appended to the last pair finger number

PR will follow shortly

There's a problem with C#m in the current version. The table entry -1, -1, 2, 1, 3, 0, gives a D on the second string instead of the required C#, so a '2' is correct for this string. It looks like the fingering and fret position
have been transposed, as finger '2' also appears on the 4th string.

(thanks to a user for this report via email)

had to rollback to 0.8.1 for rednering to work correctly in IE8
