# Alternate chord position

Some chords (not all of them) have an alternate fingering available. To see the alternate fingering make sure a string instrument is visible, select a chord in the circle of fifths or your composition. The chord will be highlighted on the instrument. At the bottom right is an icon visible if there is an alternate fingering available:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-LzBgt2dkNa7FU0QBZ2o" alt=""></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
Note, that **slash chords are not supported** for string instruments.
{% endhint %}
