I got someone to provide me with the Mac starter app, as I am on Windows at
home. Is it something hardcoded into the starter app do you think? If so,
can anyone supply a better one that will be more generic?
Cheers.

By Classic, Raf means the OS9 environment. And he's right. The
ChordWizardMac application is a classic app. (Do a "Show Info" on it and
you'll see Application (Classic).)
The application seems to run if you run it from the command line.
You can use the ChordWizardUNIX.sh script to start it up, but you'll need
to do that from a terminal window. cd to the directory that contains the
ChordWizardUNIX.sh file and the issue:
sh ChordWizardUNIX.sh
It runs for me on my OS X 10.4 Mac.

Raf,
It should work on anything that runs Java 5, providing you can provide a
startup script to launch it. I've no idea how to launch something on OSX,
but I'm pretty sure it would work as it's vanilla Java code with no OS
dependent stuff (I think....). As long as you have a compatible JRE you
should be OK, that's the beauty of Java.
Not sure what you mean by the classic environment - do you mean the
generic Java look and feel? If that's the case then yes, I didn't want to
impose any particular look and feel on anyone, it's bound to annoy
someone! ;o)
Cheers,

I've been busy geeking away the last couple of weeks writing a bit of
software that I've now put up on the net for free. It's called
ChordWizard and it allows you to explore any chord or scale type in any
tuning, and renders the intervals up and down the neck onto a virtual
fretboard. It's pretty useful for quickly finding new chord voicings,
particularly if you're being tempted by the dark side and are looking
into new tunings. You can add new chord types, scales and tunings as
you go along.
I posted this to the Celtic Guitar Talk forum last week as a sort of
beta release - no major bugs reported so now I'm happy to release it to
a wider audience.
It's a Java app and has been successfully run on both PC and Mac. Only
prerequisite is that you have Java 5 JRE installed, there's a link from
my site to the download for this if you don't already have it.

Enjoy, and please give me your feedback if you try it out! I'm off
climbing in the Cairngorms for the next 2-3 weeks but after that I'll
try to field any queries.
Cheers,
Dave
I was delighted to see that it would work on Mac, too. However, on my
machine, it seems to want the classic environment, which I haven't
loaded. Reckon it would work in OSX?
