How do I default to labeling roots only? I want R's inside all my root dots, but I want all other dots to simply be solid circles with no interval/note/fingering/anything. I can do this manually - but that's tedious. How do I set this as the default?

Hi,
Sorry for the slow reply - looks like my email notifications have messed up...

I can't think of a way to do exactly what you want as a 'default' - but here's the simplest thing I can come up with, but it's kinda manual per fretboard I'm afraid:


in Preferences, in the Fretboard section set the option 'Note marker labels' to NONE
now when you create a new fretboard the note markers won't show anything
add notes to a new fretboard and set the root..
then select the root note and change its Style to Interval
and click "Apply override to whole fretboard", if you want ALL roots to show R!

Double click the note you want to set as the root and the Inspector will open up
and at the top you'll find a checkbox "This is a root note", just check it:
