For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below eight of the diagrams.
The remaining chord boxes can be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every

D/F# G/B D5
<7 of 20> <2 of 21> <8 of 12>
For the D(b5) there is no exact matching diagram
so please follow the voicing in my chord legend.
For the F#m11 the closest diagram match is <2 of 6>
but you don't need to play the 6th string.
Alternatives:
F#m11 = xx4200 or x04200 or x44200 would all work
