Notion supports the notation and playback of harmonics (audible high pitches you hear above a played note). You
can notate natural harmonics, normally produced by placing a nger very lightly on the top of an open string at
(typically) the 12th, 7th, or 5th fret. This creates a noticeably higher pitch than you expect to hear at these positions.
Natural Harmonic
To add an open-string harmonic to the Tab sta:
1. Press the X key twice.
» A diamond-headed note appears on your Music Cursor.
2. Press the keyboard shortcut for the note value needed (such as Q for quarter note or E for eighth note).
» Your Music Cursor displays this note value with a diamond head.
3. Position the cursor over the Tab line (string) needed and either click your mouse or press Enter.
» Notion displays a temporary text box at this location with a question mark inside.
4. Enter the fret number where a nger should lightly touch the string and either press Enter or click
anywhere away from the temporary text box.
» The Tab nger mark appears between brackets. If you use the notation sta, the note appears at the
sounding pitch for this harmonic.
