Questions
Do my standard-tuning chord shapes still work in D Standard tuning?
The fingering does, the names don't. Every string is a whole step lower than in standard tuning, so a standard shape keeps the same fingering and sounds a whole step lower: a shape that is an E in standard tuning is a D here. The chart above gives you the shape for each chord by its actual name.
How were these shapes chosen?
The chord engine searches every way to voice each chord in D Standard tuning, then these are the easiest of them: no thumb, at most four fingers, within four frets, a root or fifth in the bass, and no muted string between played ones, preferring low positions and fewer muted strings. Each card says how many other voicings exist, and tapping it opens that exact shape in the app.
