Ukulele chord diagrams

New post

Working in Finale 26.1 and Windows 10

When I display chord diagrams for ukulele, they show as *baritone* ukulele - the same pitches as the top four strings of guitar, DGBE

I need to have fretboards show for *standard* soprano or tenor ukulele, tuned GCEA. [I can imagine, also, that I might need to make them show for ukulele in D tuning - A D F# B - which was more commonly used in the 1920s.]

I have tried changing the definition of ukulele inside the fretboard editor, using various pitches, but that does not make the fingering diagrams change.

I must be missing something.

The uke chords have been that way for at least 20 years, and has been reported multiple times. I have a uke template with the correct chords for GCEA tuning, which was set up by Petey Forrest. Send me an email at wawoodman at aol dot com, and I'll send it to you.

Here's a helpful pdf that can be adapted to many older versions of Finale

This is a slightly older thread with many of the suggested workarounds.
