Alternate Chord is a very powerful and excellent music score chords tool designed specifically for practicing guitar chords and guitar scales, developed by Alternate Tools from Germany. It has a clear and intuitive interface, includes a variety of different chords, allows the addition of your own scales and chords, and provides the possibility to listen to scales/chords through the MIDI interface. Better yet, it's free and open-source.
Alternate Chord focuses on music for chord instruments, specifically guitars. It offers a compact powerhouse for creating and adjusting various chords and tablatures for your instrument. Although the interface is user-friendly, a solid understanding of music fundamentals is necessary to effectively operate this program and achieve your desired results.
Alternate Chord's interface appears quite simple. You can choose base notes, switch to available ones, and even notate them on a virtual sheet. Chords can be played individually or together, depending on your requirements. It provides an extensive range of adjustable options, allowing you to filter content by difficulty and type, view visible frets, adjust intervals in milliseconds, connect to a MIDI device if available, change pitch, and modify the character set.
If you have already created some chords using Alternate Chord or others, you'll be pleased to know that you can refine your work further with this application. It does not require users to start from the beginning, which is a significant advantage. And, it provides a flexible platform that accommodates both past projects and new ideas.
In short, Alternate Chord stands out as a very good choice for generating viable music and tracking your creative ideas. Your created chords can be easily expanded for sharing and enhancement by others, if you choose to do so.
