30 Nov 01 - 05:46 AM (#600792) Subject: Guitar chord generator From: Terry K Does anyone out there have a link to the Nicholls Chord Generator? I lost mine when I changed computer recently and I'm danged if I can find it again. I've tried a Forum Search (I got it from a thread about a year ago) but no joy, and Google can't help either. Maybe I should use a different chord generator. Any suggestions? Cheers, Terry |

30 Nov 01 - 05:58 AM (#600794) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Joe Offer Hi, Terry - here's my Google Search (click) that came up with lots of generators. This page (click) also mentions a guy named Nicholls. Does that help? -Joe Offer- |

30 Nov 01 - 08:54 AM (#600860) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Terry K Thanks Joe, your search came up with better ones than mine, but still no sign of Nicholls. I should have said that the big advantage of the Nicholls Generator is that it is downloadable so you can generate a chord search in seconds without all the palaver of having to go on-line. (The less contact I have with AOL the better I like it!). Cheers, Terry |

01 Dec 01 - 05:46 AM (#601504) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Terry K Ye-es, but to work out all the options for an unfamiliar chord would take ages. And as it's been done before by others, why re-invent the wheel? Anyway, my active brain cell tells me that what I am ACTUALLY looking for is called "NUT CHORDS". I have found a link but it is no longer active. But someone out there must have downloaded it and can perhaps email me a copy? Terry |

01 Dec 01 - 11:05 AM (#601615) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: IvanB Terry, I have a copy and would be happy to email it to you. Email me at Ivan Bradley's Email and I'll use reply to send it to you. According to the readme.txt file, it's by Sami Saarnio, which could be one reason I didn't associate it with your original request. |

01 Dec 01 - 07:51 PM (#601896) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: WyoWoman Terry--I had Nut Chords bookmarked as well and it's now daid. I thought I had downloaded it, but can't find that either. Sorry. ww |

01 Dec 01 - 08:05 PM (#601906) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Mark Clark There's also the Online Guitar Chord Dictionary hosted at the University of Virginia. It's a good way to find a set of possible fingerings for a given chord. On can also use their site to provide fingering diagrams for use in posts. You can even produce diagrams for fingerings that aren't in their standard set. I once described the process in thread called Chord Diagram Primer for those brave enough to learn it. - Mark |

01 Dec 01 - 08:06 PM (#601907) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: IvanB Just for info for the two of you, the zip file as I downloaded it is nc32v117.zip. I assume that means 32 bit version #1.17. So if either of you want to look for it on your systems, I figure the name'll be formatted somewhat the same although your version number might be different. |

01 Dec 01 - 08:35 PM (#601917) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Mark Clark I was able to locate a copy of nc32v117.zip here. I haven't downloaded it so I don't know anything about the file but the name is the one you referenced. - Mark |

01 Dec 01 - 09:00 PM (#601930) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: GUEST,Paul Well done Mark, Just downloaded it, it's certainly the one Terry is after. I still prefer Chord magic (linked to above) but that's just a personal thing, I guess Paul |

09 Aug 03 - 10:05 PM (#999523) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Joe Offer Hmmm. sniff.numachi.com is home of Yet Another Digital Tradition, which makes our tunes available in various formats. I wonder if they can generate chords for our tunes, too. -Joe Offer- |

10 Aug 03 - 02:40 PM (#999784) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: GUEST,Jon Don, tabledit might meet your needs. Joe, generate chords for tunes? Harmony, written by Pavane will attempt to suggest chords appropriate from a tune. I don't think I've come accross another program that tries to do that. |

10 Aug 03 - 04:16 PM (#999834) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Mark Clark If you use one of the programs that generates tab from ABC, you can use the abc2abc program (packaged with abcMIDI) to transpose the ABC code.- Mark |

10 Aug 03 - 08:38 PM (#999961) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: GUEST,Jon Mark, Have you tried abctab2ps? The only one I've tried is ABC2Tab which has more than a few problems. Drifting, but have you been folowing the development of the ABC 2.0 standard - latest draft here I've got lost in some of the discussion over at abcusers but I'm trying to understand and follow it all as it is the fomat we use at folkinfo. |

11 Aug 03 - 01:39 AM (#1000083) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: Mark Clark Hi, Jon, I have abctab2ps and have tried it out but haven't really done anything serious with it yet. I like the fact that one specifies each string and fret rather than simply recording the notes and letting the program translate that into a specific string and fret. To me, the point of tablature is so musicians can record and share certain techniques that might not be obvious by just reading the notes. I don't need to have a computer tell me where a note may be found on the fingerboard. I think I may be inclined more toward LilyPond for ease of expressing tablature.I haven't been following the development of the the ABC 2.0 standard very closely; though, on your suggestion, I subscribed to the ABC Users List and read through the comments. I see there is now a BNF grammar available for ABC 2.0. This will make it easier to develop tools to support it. What I'd really like to see is a Java-based application that includes ABC 2.0 functionality and the ability to work along side textual content like the Mudcat forum. It would continue to scan the text in any window designated by the user and pick up ABC, MIDItext, chord fingerings, tablature, etc., display them in graphical form and optionally play them as MIDI content. I want it Java-based so it's platform independent from the start and I don't want it too tightly integrated with a particular Web site. It would also have the ability to create the textual representation for making ABC files and inserting examples into papers and discussions. It should also support two way conversion to a suitable XML representation so music can be easily moved between software without loss of detail. The various tools currently available work well for publishing music in various forms but none of them really supports people trying to discuss musical techniques in a forum such as this. I keep thinking I'll make time to work on development of such a tool but, of course, I never actually get a round tuit. - Mark |

11 Aug 03 - 06:28 AM (#1000139) Subject: RE: Guitar chord generator From: GUEST,Jon The placement of string/fret is another weakness in ABC2TAB. It only works out open position. The commercial program, Tabledit seems a lot more advanced. I think it uses rules to try to work out a logical fingering pattern. Of course you can always edit the tab. Interesting idea about the program - I for one would very much like to see it if you ever do write it. I think that the closest current abc program to your requirements is the Mac only Barfly. That one does work with text containing abc. An example of where it works well is Jack Campin's modes tutorial You can read through the whole document and when you get to a protion of abc, that tune is displayed as "dots" and you can also play the tune. I think it also imports and/or exports to musicxml. |
