Topic: Alternate fingerings not appearing

How come when I click on a chord diagram to see alternate fingering I am not seeing anything but a place-holder?  Has this feature been disabled?

It should work, and is working when I try it. Could you give me an exact url, and tell me where you are clicking.

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

For me, none of the diagrams on any of the charts are working.  I am clicking on the diagrams to the right of the charts.  I think it may be a setting on my Internet Explorer, although I am set to show all graphics.  Hmm.  I don't know...

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

I am unable to understand what page you are on. Are you on the chord charts for the songs, or on the main chord chart?


Please post a url, describe what you are seeing, and where you are clicking.

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

Here's an example, but it's ANY page I go to:


<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/flarere.free.fr/Autres/Beatles/5/ACT_NA~1.txt" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/flare … Autres/Bea tles/5/ACT_NA~1.txt</a>


This is The Beatles' "Act Naturally."  When I click on the fingering diagrams at the right, I get a header that says "A Variations."  Underneath are several boxes with X's in them where there used to be additonal diagrams with alternate "A" fingerings.  Even if I click on the boxes, I do not get the diagrams.  And if I right click and select "Show Picture," nothing happens.


This appears to be the fault of one of my own Internet Explorer settings, although I am not having the problem at any other website.

That is about what I need. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">


What version of Internet Explorer are you using?


Just for checking that the link is OK. Try going to this page:

<a href="http://www.chordie.com/voicings.php?chord=A&tuning=EADGBE" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/voicings.php?cho … ning=EADGB E</a>


What do you see?


Then try this link:

<a href="http://www.chordie.com/ramimages/Achord_042220_1.png" target="_blank">http://www.chordie.com/ramimages/Achord_042220_1.png</a>


This should give you a single chord grid. Does it?


You can see the images on the first page (song page), can you?

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

I think I figured out the problem.  The alternate diagrams I'm seeing are for guitar.  My preferences are set to ukulele.  Perhaps you don't provide alternate fingering for the uke?


I can't remember if the diagrams I used to see were for guitar or ukulele.

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

Nobody has ever bothered to report this error. I just never thought about it.


It is now implemented. Alternate voicings for all instruments should work. Please report any bugs.


Thanks for telling me about it..

Re: Alternate fingerings not appearing

Thanks for responding so fast.  This is a great site.  I hope it does not come under fire from the publishers,,as other tab sites have.
