Single Note Editing from the TAB Staff
SONAR enables you to edit single notes from the TAB staff in several ways:
• With the Draw tool selected, drag fret numbers up or down. When you
reach the desired fret number, release the mouse.
• With the Draw tool selected, move a note to a different string by holding
down the Alt key while you drag the fret number to a different line. If the
note you are moving won't play on the string you are dragging it to, you
won't be able to move it.
• Right-click the fret you want to edit. A list of fret numbers appears.
Select the one you want, and the fret you right-clicked changes to the
fret number you selected.
