ChordShapes are intended to be shapes that transpose along the fretboard to any fret. Because the first string is open in this diagram, you can't really move it up a fret or two. So ordinarily, this chord would just be added directly: \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {c':7} #guitar-tuning #"x;3-3;2-2;3-4;1-1;o;" Also, you should be aware that a syntax change is coming to \addChordShape. Starting with 2.11.66 it will require a string tuning, as well as a symbol and a diagram definition. > > You can then apply those to a specific chord with: > > \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {c':7} > #guitar-tuning > #(chord-shape 'csevsmall) > > Notice, that I associated this with an octave shifted version of the > chord.
