Really like Scaler 2.1, but could use a fretboard layout for mandolin - would be same for violin.

Four strings in fifths G D A E, mandolin would have maybe 21 frets including the open string position?

I’m new here, so if you can already define your own fretboard layout - I’ve not seen it yet 😃

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Oh yeah - strings are in reverse order.  
Fat Low G string closest to player up to skinny High E furthest away from player.

The reverse of what’s on the Bass fretboard layout.
