Editing
Editing
Tablature can be edited like any other score. You can move notes, handle beaming,
stem direction, etc.
Moving notes to another string
If you want for example a “C” to appear as an “8” on the low E-string rather than a “3”
on the A-string on a guitar, proceed as follows:
1. Select one note or a number of notes that you want to move to a new string.
2. Right-click on one of the selected notes and, from the “Move to String” submenu,
select the desired string.
The Fret number is automatically adjusted according to the tuning of the
instrument (as set up on the Tablature tab of the Staff page in the Score Settings
dialog).
Moving notes
Moving notes in pitch in a tablature score is working the same way as entering notes
manually, see above.
Editing on the info line
You can change the pitch of notes on the info line as usual. The string and fret number
are updated automatically in the score.
Note head shape
If you only want to enter a fret number for your notes (Tablature mode off), you can use
the Set Note Info dialog on regular notes.
1. Double-click on the head of a note.
The Set Note Info dialog appears.
2. Activate the Tablature option and set a fret number in the value field to the right.
3. Click Apply.
