Description

Your idea

Your idea
The below links are examples of what i mean, this is an entirely different way of displaying tabs. i want to be able to transcribe and have playback / export in a video format stuff like the above. also, being able to play with just that on the changing chord chart and the lyrics underneath in musescore would make so much more sense for rhythm guitarists (especially if we could see the next two chords coming up). i hope this explanation makes sense

Problem to be solved

Lack of a guitar centric way of displaying how to play a song
