To make the fingering match the score, just don't use the predefined diagrams. Then the fretboard calculator will try to automatically calculate a fingering. For the dim chords, it generally works. For the dim7, it fails most of the time. This is accomplished by using the commands \predefinedFretboardsOff But it's very seldom that a guitar chord is voiced like a standard chord is written in the score. > The dim chord is a triad so the > fingering should contain only those three notes with none of them doubled; the dim7 is a tetrad and the > fingerings correctly contain those four notes. > > This may be overly pedantic. I don't think it's overly pedantic; I think it's a misunderstanding of why the example was created the way it was. The notes in the score would virtually *never* be the notes in the fretboard in standard usage. In this demonstration, the score was put there just to indicate what was meant by a dim and a dim7, since there is some evidence that jazz players consider a dim on a lead sheet to imply a dim7. There is an open issue, #1497 on the tracker, to have staff notation reflect the predefined fretboard voicing if desired.
