It’s fully usable, but quite basic (only major, minor, and 7th chords). So there are 3 open issues I want to implement soon:

Anything else you’d like to see implemented?

I don’t know ukulele tabs (to paraphrase Scarlatti (the father) “the only thing worse than a ukulele is two ukuleles”), but for guitar the fingers are normally displayed (if the fingers are indicated at all) as negative circled digits (e.g. in the dingbats Unicode block Dingbats Unicode Block), not by uppercase letters.

Yeah I know, but I personally find ❶ ❷ ❸ ❹ harder to distinguish then I M R P. But good point that I should probably add it as an option for people who are used to it. Created an issue for it!

Yes, I don’t like them either, I do prefer filled circles without any finger indication (added comment to the issue) like ⬤ (or ●?).
