[Feature request] Show tuning only together with chord diagrams #10

Many beginners are easily confused with chords and fingerings, esp. in combination with different tunings or instruments. A chord (e.g. C) is only a group of individual notes and always remains the same, regardless of the instrument or tuning (lets leave the transposing wind instruments like clarinet or sax aside for the moment). Only the finger positions differ depending on the tuning: On ADF#B tuning you fret 3211, on GCEA you fret 0003 and on DGBE you fret 2010 - the result is always the same C major chord containing the notes C, E, G and C.

Consequently the footer text regarding the tuning is not really necessary (and for some people even misleading) as long as no chord diagrams are shown.

At the same time we could change the text from "Note: ... tuning" to something like "Chord diagrams for ... tuning" or similar.
