Tablature
The red box in the fretboard display changes to reflect the settings
in these two parameters.
• MIDI Channel - This uses the event's MIDI channel to determine
which string the note should be displayed on. When MIDI Channel
is selected, the user chooses which series of MIDI Channels
should be considered. This is useful for MIDI Guitarists that record
parts in MONO mode, where each string transmits on a different
MIDI channel. (Values: 1 - 11). Selecting "1" in the 1st Channel field
will cause it to use MIDI channels 1 - 6, selecting 2, 2 - 7, and so
on.)
Note: Select the Skip Channel 10 option if you are using a Yamaha
G50 or other device which reserves channel 10.
4. Type a number into the Number of Frets field. This determines how
many frets the guitar has that the tab is based on.

list and number of strings from the Number of Strings field.
The open string pitches for the instrument you choose automatically
appear in the string number fields below the dropdown list.
6. Customize any of the open string pitches by using the "+" or "-" buttons
on the string number fields.
7. Save your settings by typing a name into the Preset field at the top of
the dialog box and clicking the disk icon next to it. You can remove
presets from the list by clicking the X button next to the disk icon.
The next time you want to use these settings for a track, choose your
Preset in the Staff View Layout dialog box from the Presets dropdown list.
