Hi,

How can I get the open position notes and intervals to show in scale generator?

I have selected allow open notes in the generator menu but I'm still seeing solid dots.

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Welcome to the ND forums!

I see from your other message that you found out how to do this, but I'll reply for the benefit of others!

Controlling what's shown on note markers at the open position isn't something that's done via the Scale Generator - this is a property of the fretboard and is controlled via the option "Draw notes/intervals on open strings", as shown here:

This is fact something from ND1, but as we've done some rationalisation of open position note markers to behave as regular note markers we can take this a step further and remove this option in future!

Hi, Have you fixed this yet

I've spent ten minutes this morning trying to draw in an open E on an E Major chord for a young student and have reached the point where it isn't worth my time. I've checked for updates and none are available. I am running Neck Diagrams 2 and don't have time to be faffing around with something that should be a simple default setting.
Thank you.

Hi Peter,

Only just spotted this whilst looking for something else, apologies!

Everything you can configure in the Inspector has an associated default setting you can set in the Preferences. You can find the one for the "Draw note/intervals on open strings" setting here:

Hopefully you'd already found this!
