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 three of the diagrams
G G7sus4 G7
<4 of 27> <4 of 21> <6 of 41>
All the other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting
