For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below nine of the diagrams.
The other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every
