I’ve been working on a tool to help me discover chord inversions and find fingerings I can comfortably play. https://music.shademaps.com/ https://music.shademap

  That kind of tool is indeed helpful. I wrote a kind of similar command line version that does a subset of what your's does in C around 1985 for my Mac, running in the terminal-like window my compiler's runtime provided for running command line programs. Your's looks nicer :-) Here's the output of mine for a C chord. C: C E G <3>|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-----|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-| |-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-----| <5>|-----|-----|-----|-----|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-| |-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-----|-<1>-|-----|-----| |-----|-----|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----| <3>|-----|-----|-<5>-|-----|-----|-----|-----|-<1>-|-----|-----|-----|-<3>-| and here it is if I toss in the narrow switch: C: C E G 3 |---|---|-5-|---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|-5-| |-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|-5-|---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---| 5 |---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|-5-|---|---|---| |---|-3-|---|---|-5-|---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---| |---|---|-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|-5-|---|---|---|---|-1-| 3 |---|---|-5-|---|---|---|---|-1-|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|-5-| Here's the source [1], minimally updated to compile with current C compilers and to not depend on any quirks of the runtime of whatever C development system I was using on my Mac back then (Megamax C, I think). I was pretty shaky on chord theory back then so not sure I'd trust it for fancy chords. I have no idea why the heck I made the D tuning flag tune both the 1st and 6th strings down to D. I'm 100% certain every piece of sheet music I had that called for for D tuning only wanted the 6th string tuned down. [1] https://pastebin.com/HKyKWHip https://pastebin.com/HKyKWHip
