MusFrets is a text font that allows the user to type guitar chord diagrams into a word processor or other software.
MusFrets begins by inputting a fretboard, then adding the desired symbols sequentially, left to right. The text strings are based on easily-learned key combinations that unfold visually as you type.
MusFrets works in Dorico, Sibelius, Finale (Mac-only), and MuseScore. It also works in any word processor or other software that supports ligatures, kerning, and contextual alternates. Make sure these features are turned on for the glyphs to display correctly.

Using MusFrets in Pages (Apple)
If MusFrets doesn’t appear in your font list, please follow these instructions:
- With Pages open, from the menu bar, choose Format > Font > Show Fonts
- Choose MusFrets from the Family column
- You’ll find that MusFrets will now be accessible in the dropdown menu in the right panel, even when you close the Fonts window
MusFrets will appear in the document where you used it. When you save the document and reopen it, it will still be there. But you will have to repeat the process to find this font in other documents. Unfortunately this is a limitation with certain fonts and Apple Pages and other Apple programs.
