- Auto-Scanning the track to be played, and adjusting the display octave on the guitar fretboard to insure that the
best octave is picked to minimize the number of notes that will be outside of the current position displayed on
the fretboard.
- After Auto-scanning the track, the best position for displaying the music on the guitar is determined. This is
always one of the 2 positions (Aeolian or Phrygian) as discussed above, though you may over-ride this by
clicking on any fret position.
- Color coding note displays. In addition to the note names being outlined in the colors (as discussed above),
when the note is played, it is highlighted in green if it is a scale note, and yellow if it is an out-of-scale note.
Guitar Window Toolbar
At the bottom of the Guitar Window is the toolbar.
These are the Guitar Settings. See below for details.
The position button toggles between the 2 popular positions displayed with note names.
When you open the Guitar window, the first thing
you'll want to do is choose the track that you want to display. Usually this will be a Melody track or a Soloist track.
In the illustration here, the Melody track is the current track, and it colored blue to indicate this.
To get to the Soloist track, click on the [S] button or use the keystrokes Ctrl+F5. Similarly, you can display other
tracks like Bass, Piano, etc.
The Guitar Settings Dialog
The Guitar Settings dialog opens with the [Settings…] button in the Guitar window. Use
these settings to control the appearance and output of the Guitar window.
