"Fixed point" chord generation #28

Open jbauschatz opened 9 years ago

jbauschatz commented 9 years ago

Chords could be generated in the usual manner but keeping certain strings fixed at certain positions.

For example, when playing chords in DADGAD tuning one might keep the base DAD ringing clearly while playing different chords on the top three strings.

This could be accomplished by finding just the right chord type to accept the D and A, but it would be much more convenient for users to pick their fixed strings and receive chords accordingly.

This sounds like it is essentially asking for certain strings to be set as drones. This would be a useful feature and would also permit modelling instruments like the sitar, which have drone strings.

This should not be too hard to implement.
