Neck Diagrams

Neck Diagrams takes the pain out of creating your own fretboard diagrams and chord charts! Point and click simplicity helps you make make professional diagram pages. There's also a Scale Wizard with over 75 scales and arpeggios to help you along, in CAGED shapes and three note per string positions too. Want to create a page layout that you can keep reusing? Just save your page as a Template! A fantastic tool for both students AND tutors.

Diagram gallery

Fixed and Improved

• Fixed a problem that would occasionally result in document thumbnails not being created in the Diagram Gallery
• Fixed an error that would get triggered when clicking in the empty list area of the New Diagram Page wizard

Scale generator

Fixed and Improved

• Fixed a bug with the 3 Note per String generator that caused notes to start at the wrong position on guitars with 7 or more strings

Editing

Fixed and Improved

• Added support for the Recently Used Colours list in the Windows colour dialog, so colour choices can be preserved across sessions
• Fixed an error that could get triggered when scrolling and then closing the Instrument Library in the fretboard Inspector

Connections

• Finally found & fixed the cause of a problem that would make connections 'go haywire', seemingly shooting off in random directions off the page
• Fixed problems when using connections between certain objects, particularly when one end is an image

Undo/Redo

• Fixed a bug where undoing a change to a fretboard's Starting Fret value would actually change it to the wrong value
• Fixed some issues with the Page Size properties in the Inspector, particularly relating to undo/redo

Printing

Fixed and Improved

• Fixed an error that would occur when printing a page with a text box still in edit mode

General

Fixed and Improved

• On Windows, files cannot end with spaces, so instead of showing a potentially confusing error message we now simply strip off whitespace at the end of project/folder/file names
• Corrected New Blank Diagram keyboard shortcut documentation (under menu Help > Help Contents)

Registation

Fixed and Improved

• Fixed a registration bug that caused Standard mode to revert back to Trial mode at the next start
• Fixed an issue with the registration dialogs that could cause them to become extremely wide when pasting in a license code with no line breaks

Windows installer

Fixed and Improved

• Now preventing the Windows installer from being run multiple times concurrently
• No longer letting the installer run if Neck Diagrams is still open
• Fixed some translated text showing incorrectly (in Uninstaller)
• Added information about a potential continual Abort/Retry/Ignore error that some users have reported, workaround is to reboot!

Update mechanism

Fixed and Improved

• We've added a new update mechanism which we'll be using to notify you of new releases like the upcoming ND2. Yes, it's on it's way :)
