Creating tablature manually
5. If you want to use a capodaster, e.g. on the forth fret, enter the corresponding
value in the Capo field.
The tablature changes accordingly.
6. Make the desired settings for “No Stems/Rests” and “MIDI Channel 1–6”.
No Stems/Rests gives you a score where the notes have no stems and where all
the rests are hidden. The “MIDI Channel 1–6” feature is described below.
7. Click Apply.
The tablature appears. You get as many note lines as you have activated strings.
All the notes now have a fret number instead of their regular note heads.
Before and after activating tablature mode.
8. Edit the score, if needed.
You can make Display Quantize settings, add symbols, etc. as usual. However,
editing the actual notes is a bit different from regular note editing, see below.
Using “MIDI Channel 1–6”
This feature makes notes automatically appear on the correct string according to their
MIDI channel value.
Normally, the program automatically decides on which string to display a note, by
looking at the pitch and then putting the note at the lowest possible string. You can
then either manually move a note to the correct string, or use the “MIDI Channel 1–6”
option to let the program move the notes automatically.
1. Many guitar synthesizers are able to transmit each string on a different MIDI
channel. If you have such an instrument, set it up so that the high E string transmits
on MIDI channel 1, the B string transmits on MIDI channel 2, etc.
This feature can be used for MIDI string instruments with up to six strings.
2. Record the project. Quantize and edit it as desired.
3. Make sure that the “MIDI Channel 1–6” option is activated and convert the notes
into tablature, as described above.
4. The notes are automatically placed on the right strings.
For example if you played a “B” on the low E-string, it appears as a “7” on that
string, not as a “2” on the A-string.
Creating tablature manually
To set up an empty system for inputting tablature, proceed as follows:
1. Double-click on the clef symbol in the score to open the Edit Clef dialog.
2. Change the clef to the tablature symbol.
