I've tried finding a way to notate sharps and flats in regular text boxes using the Mac keyboard symbols, but they show up at question marks upon exporting the files to pdf. Can you create a checkbox setting in the Preferences to substitute lowercase b and the number sign # to convert to actual sharps and flats?
It would be nice to change the level of opacity in colored boxes. This would be great for highlighting scale boxes on the fretboard.
It would be nice for the multi-point line tool to somehow curve without having to create multiple points to manually create a curved line. This could be useful for notating hammer-ons and pull-offs from one note to another.
The title/footer spacing above and below the fretboard sometimes seems too far away, especially when you have lots of diagrams close together. Can you create a feature to change the line spacing for this?

Hi sword,

We've already got some macro support - it's described on page 3 (section "Rich Text Editing") of the "What's New in ND2" doc you should see in the Diagram Gallery. Here's the musical symbol shortcuts:

- {b} flat
- {#} sharp
- {n} natural
- {hd} half-diminished
- {d} diminished
- {bb} double flat
- {##} double sharp
- {M} major (delta/triangle)

Just type the macro in the braces and it'll get replaced by the musical symbol. They export safely too.

Ah, this sounds like the issue we've come across exporting certain languages such as Japanese. Will likely be fixed in the next update!

We've got a dev ticket for this, it'll get implemented..

What you'd really want is some toolbox entries so you can create some tab-style symbols, right? We've got a dev ticket for this too ;)

Also something we have a ticket for!
