Advanced

This section determines what chord diagrams are displayed allowing further refinement.

• Show Only Exact Matches will only show chord diagrams from the chord diagram library that are an exact match and does not apply leniency to the search. For instance, if a chord of E/G# is specified, only diagrams matching the split chord variation will be used and the standard E chord diagrams will not be displayed.
• Show Only Preferred Chords will disable the display of chord diagrams unless explicitly selected using the Chord Inspector. This results in fewer chord diagrams or none at all unless specified.
