# chordboard
Simple tool to create guitar fretboard diagrams, with optional ability to
generate a flashcard deck.
It can output images. For instance:
```
$ # Awful chord to show off notation, image scaled up 3x
$ ./main.py 7,8,10,9,11,X T,1,3,2,4,X -o demo.png -x 3
```
produces the demo.png in this repo:
Or it can output to the console:
```
$ # C major
$ ./main.py X,3,2,0,1,0 X,3,2,0,1,0
X 3 2 0 1 0

There are many tools that *almost* generate these standard images, but all
that I've found aren't quite right - often they don't have fingerings at the
top, or write note names below (unhelpful for shape memorization), or any
number of other things.
I hope your music goes well!
## genmnemo.py
Tool that generates a
[mnemosnye](https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne)-compatibile file of
cards for import. Creates chords.cards, which can be imported into mnemosyne.
Chords are given as a space-separated value on stdin. So one could do:
```
$ cat > chords.ssv <
