Description
Your idea
I’m hoping there’s a MuseScore 4.6 mechanism planned for fretboard diagram legends, to allow a particular chord symbol to appear multiple times, once for each associated diagram/voicing that the scorist wants included.
On another front ...
Presently, once a legend is populated with a particular symbol/diagram pair, modifying the fretboard in the score does not update the fretboard in the legend.
Problem to be solved
Presently we can only have a chord symbol/diagram appear once in the Fretboard Diagram Legend as illustrated in this score:
https://musescore.com/user/35880724/scores/28864100
But if the scorist has two different symbol/diagram configurations for a particular chord symbol, he or she may want both to appear in the legend.
The solution would be to allow the scorist to "force" a symbol/diagram into the legend, like a "Include in Fretboard Diagram Legend" property for fretboard diagram objects.
