Hi there. I'm more of a composer/theory nerd than a guitarist, but I wanted to share something with with the guitar world, since I hear you all get all the chicks.
Basically, I wrote a program that takes in a tone row and spits out a table of chords with their corresponding scales you can play over them (and vice versa: a table scales with their corresponding chords.)
A tone row, thought of in basic terms, is just an ordering of the chromatic scale, eg: C G D A E B F# C# G# D# A# F
So what all this does for you is it makes it easy to play stuff that 1) Uses all 12 notes available to you, and 2) that actually sounds like music.
So this is what I have so far, the numbers correspond to semitones, so on guitar it'd work like 0=e,1=f,2=f#, etc. How can I make this more useful and easier for guitar players?
As an example, these are the charts my program generates for the circle of fourths tone row: 0, 5, 10, 3, 8, 1, 6, 11, 4, 9, 2, 7
This is the table of chords with their corresponding scales. The left column is chords, and each row of the right column is a list of scales that would 'fit' over that chord:

This second chart is the same information, except reverse-tabulated. The leftmost column is scales, then to the right of each scale is a list of all the chords that fit that scale:

Well, tell me how I can make my charts more 'readable' for guitarists. I know they're just a bunch of numbers right now!
