x1, x2 ...You can specify the letter "b" in which case the circle around the number is larger than normal. For instance, in this diagram - http://www.screencast.com/users/metaper ... 3739eb1ef0
the "4" and the "1" are larger because they were specified with the "b" option as so:
\chord{8}{n,f4bp{11},f1p{8}f3p{10}f4p{11},f1p{8}f3p{10}f5p{12},f1bp{8},n}{}
I have bolded the letter "b"s so they are easier to see in the
Code: Select all
\chordWhat I would like is to be able for them to be enclosed with a diamond or square as opposed to a larger circle, but am not sure how to do it.
