fretplot – Create scale and chord diagrams for guitar-like instruments
This LuaLaTeX package provides batch generation of scale and chord diagrams for plucked string instruments, such as the guitar.
- Flexible and Automated: Highly customizable and automatable via simple, powerful file formats for describing fretboard diagrams. Easily generate batches of diagrams.
- Attractive Defaults: Comes with sensible, visually appealing default settings.
- Music Theory Aware: Includes easy-to-use LaTeX macros that understand music theory. Render guitar scale diagrams by specifying the musical scale or scale type via built-in macros or directly via degree, pitch class, or interval formulae.
