This is lovely!

Two features that would be useful for me:

1. Being able to see multiple chords in a time sequence that use a given note, say E4. My teacher told me that I should practice singing a given note while playing multiple chords having that note. This would help with singing, ear training to recognize chords by the ear, as well as learning chord progressions for a given song. Initially I would like this to be any chords through a given note, whether on the scale or not, and later also limiting to those falling on a given scale.

2. It may be helpful to be able to rotate and flip the fretboard diagram. This is just to match the orientation I see elsewhere like in a book.

I totally agree, in fact feature number one is already planned. It'll probably be in the form of a chord schema generator and player that also shows you which scales and roots/thirds... you can use in a given chord.

For 2, it's possible to flip the fretboard to a lefty guitar. Is that what you are looking for? You can find the option under settings. Or do you mean flipping it vertically?

Vertically as well as 90 degrees.

See how most images are showing chords. The fret is laid out vertically. I've been using those and can thereby read that more naturally.

Oh right! I see what you mean. Got it, awesomeme idea: Chord charts like these are as of now a planned feature. Something to look out for in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion!
