I wrote vguitar as a ncurses application. So it has a terminal user interface. Running it inside emacs with M-x terminal allows one to copy/cut/print the visible notes using c-j and c-k modes.

This is a G chord in strum mode. Strings marked with ‘X’ are silent. Low ‘E’ is held on the 3rd fret, Low ‘A’ on the 2nd fret, and high ‘E’ on the 3rd fret yielding G – B – x – x – x – G.
