Receive System Exclusive dialog

In the Sysx view, clicking the Receive Bank button opens the Receive System Exclusive dialog

box. Use this dialog box to tell a synthesizer to start sending system exclusive data—clicking the OK

button in this dialog box opens the Sysx Receive dialog box and starts the transmission of Sysx

data.

This dialog box displays how many bytes have been received. When the number stops increasing,

click Done.

Regenerate Tablature dialog

Click the Staff view Edit menu and choose Regenerate TAB to open the Regenerate Tablature

dialog box.

The Regenerate TAB command works on selected regions in a track to modify the fingering

according to the method you choose. The TAB display by default uses the ‘floating’ algorithm which

analyzes all events in a track and attempts to optimize tablature with reference to open position. By

choosing the “fixed” algorithm instead, you can designate a specific finger span and lowest fret

which causes the TAB of a selected region to be displayed within this range. This usually creates a

more compact fingering system.

The Regenerate Tablature dialog box has the following fields:

Track

This window displays the names of all selected tracks. Highlight the one you want to regenerate TAB

for.

Method

Choose what TAB style you want SONAR to use, from these options:

• Fixed. This style specifies where on the neck these notes should be played. When Fixed is

selected the Finger span and Lowest fret fields are used together to define the “box” where the

notes are displayed. The Finger span parameter determines how many consecutive frets will be

used to display the note. For example, if Finger span is set to 4, then SONAR will attempt to place

all the notes within those 4 frets. The Lowest Fret then determines where on the fretboard will the

notes be displayed within the Finger span. The red box in the fretboard display above the

parameters changes to reflect the settings in these two parameters.

• Floating. This style analyzes all events in a track and attempts to optimize tablature with

reference to open position
