Access the fretboard by tapping the "guitar" icon below the chord (or in the notation section or the chord keyboard) • Notebook settings can now by found in the song list (sidebar) toolbar menu • Longer chord names now fit above the chords. • Paste now clears existing notes before pasting, and pastes the name and chord info. • Folders can be collapsed/expanded in the song list • On iPhone, the current chord diagram is now shown on the fretboard view, in the Display controls section • Numerous other fixes and performance improvements. • Send us feedback at support@sonametro.com!
