Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
Currently, when in barré entry mode in fretboard diagram properties, clicking once on the diagram will draw a barré from that point all the way to the rightmost string, resetting any open/muted string markers already set above the diagram immediately. The opposite is also true: changing the string state clears any barrés on that string
This is undesirable in some cases, like if you intentionally set the rightmost string to O (for open) and want to draw a partial barré excluding that string. You have to go back and set O again after drawing the barré.
Steps:
- Add a fretboard diagram
- Click above the rightmost string to draw an O
- Check the barré box on
- Click on the first fret
- See that the O is erased
