I've been playing only a few years now and was tired of chasing around PDF files with fretboard notes, so I'm building a virtual FretBoard which works great on the ipad. It's still buggy and most of the intervals not complete but it really helps out this newbie. It's a super Beta version. I may take this to a very in depth and user friendly version with copedant options etc. if I get the bug to develop.

Thank you sir! I should have most of the basic intervals up shortly and may put together a database for user input. Stay tuned.

Very powerful, but it seems to be sideways.

I was wondering how to position it. If I position it horizontally it takes up quite a bit of real estate on the page. I'll keep tweaking it and will most likely provide an option for the layout. Any advice is welcome.

It's been significantly updated. I'm going to add the options for root keys as it's now all color coded to "C". I thought that would be best for now as it's easy to extrapolate from.

Yeah, I think most people are going to be used to reading it horizontally, like THIS.

I like it, Chris.
Looks like a "bit" of time has already been invested.
