Hi, pkemner (didn't catch your name)!

Yes, I have, and for the 6-course Italian tuning, too. I used a freeware 
program called Fret - forgot where I found it, but Google will help you ;-)

You can select how many strings your instrument has, and enter their tunings. 
Name a chord, and the Fret program prints out chord diagrams of the 
theoretically possible versions. You can filter the output a bit by specifying 
the 
maximum finger spread (in frets) and  the highest fret position to be used. 

Wish I'd had that 20 years ago when I was investigating the Waldzither. In 
those days, I had to draw a diagram of the fingerboard with note names on the 
string/fret coordinates, know what notes were in the chord I wanted, and draw 
my 
chord diagrams by hand.That worked, too ...

Cheers, 
John
