Settings & appearance

Make the app feel natural for the way you play.

Settings adapts StrumForge to the way you play. Choose your language, left- or right-handed diagrams, appearance, and shortcuts to the tools you use most. Defaults let you start with familiar choices such as a preferred key, tempo, groove, and guitar sound.

For the diagrams themselves, use the nearby gear or palette controls to choose labels and colors; the available options depend on the tool. Note names tell you which pitches to play, interval labels show how notes relate to the root, and finger numbers suggest which fretting fingers to use. Pick the view that makes your current practice easiest to follow.
