Re: Help with chord dictionaries

[Shamus Hammons]

This *does not* solve the issue--this is identical to what I attached to
my previous email with the exception that you dropped the flat sign
markup from the third chord (it should be Bbmaj7 with a real flat sign
in it, not Bmaj7). Also, it does not solve the issue with the texts
above the fretboard diagrams being too far away from the diagrams. :-/
