I'm new to Finale SongWriter, in fact, I'm evaluating SongWriter and MuseScore. What really drew me to SongWriter was its ability to diagram chords on the fretboard. Which leads to the following Tip.

I learned this Tip the hard way, so I want to share it with others.

Be SURE to turn on Show Fretboard BEFORE you enter any chordname and the chord diagram should show up immediately, and correctly. Doing it later, some show up right, and some show up greyed out (why, i have no idea).
