Chord charts and scale maps represent almost the exact same thing, except scale maps indicate every member note of the scale, including multiple on the same string, while chord charts indicate only one note per string. This is so all the marked notes can be played simultaneously. Additionally, they are commonly marked with letters (o, i, m, r, p, t) instead of x's and r's to indicate how to finger each note.
Occasionally, I'll want to indicate a chord's root, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th (2nd), 11th (4th), or 13th (6th), so I use (R, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) to markthese directly on the fret/string positions. Usually, however, these appear to the left of the chart, indicating which string plays which part of the chord. Alternatively, if the chord has a set position marked, I may write the actual notes for each string instead.
