# Chordtable
This package has a simple purpose: it is based
on [guitarchordschemes](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/guitarchordschemes) and provides predefined
commands for typesetting tabulatures of the most common guitar chords in TikZ, as well as a
mechanism to put them in a nice-looking full-page table.
For a finished table, look at the [example file](./examples.pdf) (as of yet, not all chords are
defined!)
## Commands
### `chordtable` and `rightchordtable`
A slightly modified table suitable to the chord diagrams of the package. Can be used like a normal
table:
\begin{chordtable}
\notename{C} & \CMaj & \CMin & \CSeven & \CMinSeven & \CMajSeven \\
\notename{\tsharp{C}/\tflat{D}} & \CSharpMaj & \CSharpMin & \CSharpSeven &
\CSharpMinSeven & \CSharpMajSeven \\
% etc.
\end{chordtable}
`rightchordtable` is for putting the note names to the right, if one wants to use the table on a
recto page.
### Typesetting commands
`notename`, as used above, typesets the name of a note in a box, to fit into the `chordtable` name
column (does vertical centering).
`\tsharp`, `\tflat`, `tminor`, etc., are semantic commands for typesetting chord names. They work in
the expected way: `\tminor{\tsharp{A}}`.
### Chord definitions
As many usual chords as possible are tried to be predefined. The naming scheme should be clear from
examples: `\ASharpMaj`, `\ASharpSeven`, `\ASharpMinSeven`, etc. There are suffixed `Dim`, `Aug`,
`SusFour`, `AddNine`.
Chords are tried to be always provided in both enharmonic variants. The definitions consist of a
`\chordscheme` from `guitarchordschemes`, inside a `\newchord` command to define the enharmonics:
\newchord{ASharpMaj/\tsharp{A}, BFlatMaj/\tflat{B}}{%
\chordscheme[
name=\chordname,
position={},
barre={1/1-5},
finger={3/2,3/3,3/4},
ring={},
mute={6}
]
}
`\newchord` is a kind of "template replacer. Its first argument is of the form
`/, ..., /`; `\chordname` is context-dependent and
gets replaced by the current chordname.
