Mando! v1.6 -- An Interactive Chord Book for Mandolin -- Fat Binary

This function is distributed as a Fat Binary--that is, this function runs on both 68k based 
Mac's and native on PPC based Mac's.

Mando! v1.6 provides chord look up for Mandolin, Mandola, and Octave Mandolin in standard 
tuning, and additional chord processing for 4 other mandolin tunings.  In the standard tuning 
library, 17 chord types are supported with 3 or 4 different fingerings each, depending upon 
the chord.   To plot a chord diagram, select the root of the chord from the Root menu, and the 
type of the chord from the Type menu.  Then, diagram it with the Form 0,1,2,3 buttons from 
the tool bar.  Non-standard tunings do not contain these built-in chords, but full use of the 
Neck Window functions are supported (see below).

In standard tuning, Form 0 chords are available for Major, Minor, and Dominant 7th chord 
forms and are generally the open or common forms of the chord.  Form 1 chords generally 
have the root on the 4th string.  Form 2 chords generally have the root on the 3th string, 
and Form 3 chords generally have the root on the 2nd string.

The Neck Window view provides additional chord lookup functions.   This window allows 
the browsing of chord fingerings over the neck and has a Name-that-Chord function which 
recognizes 40 different chords in standard and non-standard tunings.  These user-created 
chord voicings may then be diagramed in the chord editor window.

This function requires either a 68k-based Macintosh with System 7.1 or higher and a 
68020, 68030, 68040, or a Power Macintosh with System 7.5 or higher.  A color monitor 
with at least 400 lines is highly recommended.  QuickTime with the QuickTime Musical 
Instruments extension is required for sound output.

Guitar and Tenor Banjo/Guitar versions are also available.
