![]() Having movable fretboard dot markers would be great. For example, a standard Gibson dot inlay pattern would have the dots centered on the middle string (G). I noticed that the dot markers are not symmetrical about the fingerboard. I understand your difficulties with time to spend on this application, but wanted to put in another request, just so you would know that there is more demand out there. I've read through the other posts and see that others have been raising this issue since 2014. I just downloaded the trial version of neck diagrams, hoping that there would be a realistic representation of a 5-string banjo neck. You patience is appreciated - I wish I could clone myself! If things start to return to normal and the schools reopen then this banjo improvement is actually already something I'm hoping to now look into sooner rather than later. Obviously with the situation of the pandemic working practices are very different - I have 2 young children at home as schools are again closed here in England - I have to keep the youngest "entertained" whilst my wife home schools the elder, so the amount of hours I can work on ND are unfortunately somewhat reduced. Unfortunately I don't have the resources of a mega-corporation like Apple, Google etc! To give you an idea of the scale of work in ND2, I started on it in 2012 and the first 2.0 release wasn't until nearly 7 years later. I do still plan to provide a realistic 5-string banjo representation but this is no trivial task due to the issue of the 5th string start location. If you want such a tuning you can actually create one yourself in the Instrument Library View - if you're not sure how to create custom tunings then please take a look at this video: If the tuning was set to G4 then the notes will come out wrong. So when you use it in ND the notes placed on the 5th string actually show correctly. The standard 5-string banjo tuning is set that way to compensate for the fact that the string begins at the 5th fret in the real world. How many more years will it take to correct this? Am I the only one who noticed this? As a 5-string banjo player, I find it odd that so many irregular, modal, and infrequently-used 5-string banjo tunings are available in the program, yet the standard one still doesn’t exist. The 5th string is still incorrectly tuned to D4 instead of G4. It is now Jan 20, 2021, and after multiple updates, including the latest version 2.2, which I downloaded today, the standard 5-string banjo tuning still has not been fixed. In fact, Moveable fretboard markers, Banjo G string to the 5th fret, markers over the Fretwire for slide/lap steel players to name a few." "Going forward we can enhance, introduce and support many new things The response I received from Neck Diagrams in April 2018, indicated that this would be corrected. ![]() Two and a half years ago, I emailed ND support, because I noticed that the 5-string banjo "open G” tuning in Neck Diagrams was incorrect it had had D4 for the 5th string, instead of G4. The standard 5-string banjo tuning is open G - The notes from the 5th string to the 1st are G4, D3, G3, B3, D4.
