Re: experimental fretboard diagram gadget
as long as it's not a major undertaking to access the custom settings ( i don't know why it would be ) i'll come up with something maybe <shift>1 - <shift<9> or <control>1 - <control>9 ? for custom colors 1 - 9 or.. maybe make the shapes c d t s ? and make the custom colors 1-9 ? i'll have to think about that , i like the shapes being associated with the finger numbers ignis32 wrote: You have a nice keyboard shortcuts currently, that 1-2-3-4 and b-g-r-w-d for coloring. Seems like it really speeds up working with a tool. May I hope that picked custom colors would be available the similar way? Like, q-w-e-r-t-y buttons are not binded yet for example.
P.S. Calculating font colors automatically seems pretty viable, color picker looks good, unless you have to dive into it for each note - mouse clicks and menu diving are much more time-expensive than keyboard shortcuts you have.

It's also not that natural to remember for a non-native English speaker, compared to just finger numbers. Not like completely unsolvable, but took some time for me to guess why this particular letters are mentioned. (And I still do not know why "d" is for black color, by the way, I would rather expect K as in "CMYK" ) Probably that's the reason why I'd suggested moving colors to qwerty, as I do not feel any pronounced relation between colors and first color name letters anyway.

Re: experimental fretboard diagram gadget
ok i added the color picker menu/dialog keys <shift>1 through <shift>9 now let you select color 1 - 9 from the custom colors you save in the dialog 1 is the latest color you saved 2 is the second latest and so on... i also changed the key for black to be 'k' instead of 'd' per your suggestion Note i have not put the contrasting text calculator yet ( i forgot about it i'll probabaly get that in tomorrow i think with this scheme you can just pick the 9 most used colors you are working with at the moment and then just use <shift>1-9 to color your position dots with the keyboard. and that will cover 99% of the keyboard color selection acceleration needs you may have i think ignis32 wrote: mike.hoegeman wrote: i'll have to think about that , i like the shapes being associated with the finger numbers Like that as well. c-d-t-s are scattered all around the place, harder to reach physically.

fixed text in dots in custom colors to contrast properly mike.hoegeman wrote: ok i added the color picker menu/dialog keys <shift>1 through <shift>9 now let you select color 1 - 9 from the custom colors you save in the dialog 1 is the latest color you saved 2 is the second latest and so on... i also changed the key for black to be 'k' instead of 'd' per your suggestion Note i have not put the contrasting text calculator yet ( i forgot about it i'll probabaly get that in tomorrow i think with this scheme you can just pick the 9 most used colors you are working with at the moment and then just use <shift>1-9 to color your position dots with the keyboard. and that will cover 99% of the keyboard color selection acceleration needs you may have i think

Re: experimental fretboard diagram gadget
Looks like color picker keeps custom colors configuration in cookies between sessions. Even convenient, and you still can clean the browser site cookies to reset the saved colors.

Re: experimental fretboard diagram gadget
yes , apparently i haven't delved into the bowels of it but it seems like an acceptable feature it's easy enough to just keep saving custom colors and the old ones will eventually fall of the end. which seems like a good enough way to operate ignis32 wrote: Looks like color picker keeps custom colors configuration in cookies between sessions.

Re: experimental fretboard diagram gadget
Mike and company, this is a great tool to have. It's great to see the quick response on features - no doubt your project is well funded.... 1. Would it be good to have references to fret dots or linear inlays? Perhaps the column could be a shade darker OR there was just some reference to the dot/inlay 2. Full Baritone tuning please Full stop.... Just explored the tool a little more. I'm sure this was mentioned a few pages back (tried to read all of the feature updates), but you can raise or lower the entire left or right side. Brilliant. 3. A thicker left border to delineate the dual flap / string screw Many thanks in advance for even considering these. Outstanding work Mike. I think about you a bit now I have a Alto, glad to see you are still TCB - cheers.

Mike and company, this is a great tool to have. It's great to see the quick response on features - no doubt your project is well funded....thanks Gene. i am glad some people are finding it useful. i got very tired of making them by hand. this way is way easier (IMHO) don't forget there is a minimal manual for the gadget below:https://mike-hoegeman.github.io/fretboard_diagrammer/fretboard_manual.htmlIf there is something needed in the manual i missed, let me know 1. Would it be good to have references to fret dots or linear inlays? Perhaps the column could be a shade darker OR there was just some reference to the dot/inlay right now i just have a fret number at each inlay location. that's not as visually anchoring as it should be though. i'll try doing a light gray linear marker like the chord compendium does. if that does not clutter up the digram too much i'll include it. 2. Full Baritone tuning please Will do ! Full stop.... Just explored the tool a little more. I'm sure this was mentioned a few pages back (tried to read all of the feature updates), but you can raise or lower the entire left or right side. Brilliant. 3. A thicker left border to delineate the dual flap / string screw i'll look into it. you don't really want to show it unless the fret range includes the the zero fret . to me that would be confusing.
Many thanks in advance for even considering these. Outstanding work Mike. I think about you a bit now I have a Alto, glad to see you are still TCB - cheers.[/quote]

per requests: Added inlays and small numbers at each fret like the chord compendium does i found also that the color picker didn't display on ipads so i redid that a bit. thanks for the feedback
