Requirements

A Newton device with Newton OS 2.0 or greater. (That means a MessagePad 120 (one with OS 2.0), 130, 2000, 2100 or eMate 300. It's been tested on a MessagePad 2000 only. There shouldn't be any problems with any others, though.)

About 12K free on a store.

Purpose

ChordBox is a simple application to show guitar chords and how to fret them.

Installation

Use the Newton Connection Utilities program or other package-installation utility that came with your Newton device to download the included package.

Use

There are two pickers at the bottom of the app. The one on the left is for the selection of the root note. Use it to select the root of the chord you want to look up. The one on the right is for the selection of the chord desired. Select the chord you wand to look up. Then, above the pickers, you'll see the chord. The dots indicate which strings need to be fretted, and the dotted strings are not to be played.
