More-Than-Solitaire/Tabs-Lite

Select instrument for any tab

Opened this issue · 4 comments

It would be a useful feature to replicate the feature of Ultimate Guitar where chords are shown for different instruments on tabs made for other instruments.

I think there are specific tabs made for other instruments (bass/uke mainly I think), that I've disabled in pursuit of simplicity. For uke, I could easily just show the same (guitar) tabs and have a setting to pull up uke chord charts instead. OR we'd have to come up with some ui to search for uke/other tabs.

My main goal would be to find a way to support these things while keeping a very fast simple ui that doesn't detract from the features that we already have. Do you have any suggestions UI-wise @erydactyl?

i think when you click on the chords the little drawer with the fingering could have icons and text for each instrument on the side... clicking the icon would switch instruments and the app would remember the last one you used.

Just discovered this great app. I wish it supported showing chords for ukulele.

@cullub i think just showing alternative instrument (eg. ukulele) chord charts on the same tabs is totally sufficient for most use cases.
