Creating a Diagram Page

You can create a new page pre-configured with fretboards/chord boxes by using the New Diagram Page wizard (click the link to open the wizard) The wizard can be accessed from the toolbar or from the File menus as shown below.	You could also use the File->New Diagram menu option or the keyboard shortcut CTRL+N (Mac: ⌘+N)

To find out more about the pre-configured pages and how you can create your own, see the New Page Templates section.

New Blank Page

You can create a blank page by pressing the little triangle next to the New Diagram wizard button to show the New Blank Diagram dropdown toolbar button, in the Diagram Gallery view (click the link to create a blank diagram page)	You could also use the File->New Blank Diagram menu option or the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+N (Mac: ⌘+⇧+N)

The application now switches to the Edit Diagrams view and you have either a blank page or a page pre-configured with fretboards, on which you can create fretboards and add text.

Note that when there was no diagram page open initially, the Edit Diagrams view switcher button, just below the toolbar, was not enabled and once a diagram is created/opened it becomes enabled so you can easily switch between the views, for example if you need to go back to the Diagram Gallery to open a diagram that you want to copy and paste some fretboards from.

Toolbox Appearance

You can change the look of the toolbox by bringing up the context menu (right-clicking) over any of the toolbox items:
