The guitar will display information on channels 11 to 16 on strings 1 to 6 if Multi-Channel Mode is set to = On
(default). Channel 11 is referred to as the “base channel” (default = 11). You can edit notes on the Notation to set
the channels of the notes. Guitar controllers will also record information in this manner, so you can record on a
MIDI guitar and see the display on the Guitar Fretboard. The base channel is normally 11, but you can set it to any
channel (e.g. if set for channel 5, this would mean that channels 5 to 10 would be the guitar channels).
The Fretboard Color can be brown or black (default=brown).
If you elect to not display note names, you can select “Use Inlays” and a guitar inlays will be displayed along the
neck.
If Send Notes to (Editable) Notation Window is set, when you click on the Guitar notes (and the Notation window
is open in Editable Notation mode or Staff Roll mode) the note will get inserted at the current time line on the
Notation window.
If you would like to have Melody and Soloist parts written specifically for guitar, set this to “Yes.” Then the notes
that are played on the six different strings will be assigned to six separate MIDI channels.
You can set the Fretboard Octave. For example, if the music is very low, and you need to boost the octave to
display it on the guitar, set the guitar octave to 1 or 2.
There is an AutoSet Octave setting (discussed elsewhere). If selected, the Guitar Octave is set automatically.
Use Index Finger Position: If set, the scale will use the “index finger” to play notes that are one fret outside of the
normal position, instead of the little finger.
Show out-of-range notes: If set, any note will be displayed on the guitar, regardless if it is the range of the guitar or
not.
Show muted note of guitar style comping: For the three-note Jazz voicings, there is a high note that is applicable
to the chord but is either not played or muted. You can choose to display this note on the guitar fretboard.
