This package has a simple purpose: it is based on guitarchordschemes and provides predefined commands for typesetting tabulatures of the most common guitar chords in TikZ, as well as a mechanism to put them in a nice-looking full-page table.
For a finished table, look at the example file (as of yet, not all chords are defined!)
A slightly modified table suitable to the chord diagrams of the package. Can be used like a normal table:
\begin{chordtable}
\notename{C} & \CMaj & \CMin & \CSeven & \CMinSeven & \CMajSeven \\
\notename{\tsharp{C}/\tflat{D}} & \CSharpMaj & \CSharpMin & \CSharpSeven &
\CSharpMinSeven & \CSharpMajSeven \\
% etc.
\end{chordtable}
rightchordtable is for putting the note names to the right, if one wants to use the table on a
recto page.
notename, as used above, typesets the name of a note in a box, to fit into the chordtable name
column (does vertical centering).
\tsharp, \tflat, tminor, etc., are semantic commands for typesetting chord names. They work in
the expected way: \tminor{\tsharp{A}}.
As many usual chords as possible are tried to be predefined. The naming scheme should be clear from
examples: \ASharpMaj, \ASharpSeven, \ASharpMinSeven, etc. There are suffixed Dim, Aug,
SusFour, AddNine.
Chords are tried to be always provided in both enharmonic variants. The definitions consist of a
\chordscheme from guitarchordschemes, inside a \newchord command to define the enharmonics:
\newchord{ASharpMaj/\tsharp{A}, BFlatMaj/\tflat{B}}{%
\chordscheme[
name=\chordname,
position={},
barre={1/1-5},
finger={3/2,3/3,3/4},
ring={},
mute={6}
]
}
\newchord is a kind of "template replacer. Its first argument is of the form
<command1>/<chordname1>, ..., <commandnameN>/<chordnameN>; \chordname is context-dependent and
gets replaced by the current chordname.
