=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below five of the diagrams.
Emaj7 Dmaj7 C#m7 G Bm7
<7 of 51> <6 of 24> <4 of 37> <2 of 27> <2 of 31>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
There are two inversions of Emaj7 in my tab
(differentiated by an asterisk in my chord legend).
Currently there is no facility to save both
variations as chord boxes, so you will have to
choose which one of them to display.
Emaj7 Emaj7 *
<7 of 51> or <1 of 51>
