Computers are supposed to make things easy. Being such a mature program, why isn't there an option to view the fretboard for a left-handed guitar fretboard yet? Righty's are 87% of the adult population, but we lefty's are people too. Why does everything need to be more difficult for us? I didn't choose to be a lefty. Why do I have to do mind gymnastics to interpret using a nice computer tool? What version is it justified to help the lefties. Version 25? This is such a cool program. Would it be that hard to do?

Maybe you should try looking at the computer screen's reflection in a mirror as a temporary fix.

Until it is added, you can move the fretboard to a second monitor and flip the display in your video card settings or in Windows Accessibility in Control Panel.

Concur reasonable, so another +1

and I can't remember if the tutorials and teaching SW (Jazz Guitarist, Sor Studies, etc.) allow for this or not, away from home computer right now, but if you are a lefty it would be great to have patch to flip those as well

'Noted :D' 'thanks for the suggestion' = THAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AD HOMINEM FOR YEARS. cool lip service. why don't you guys do something about it? can we get a date when this bug will be fixed? can i get a refund until you bother addressing this issue? i'm not holding my breath that it will ever get done and i'm not ok with a company that doesn't give a crap about left handed people having my money without providing the most rudimentary considerations to it's paid user-base.
