Rhythms on tablature
When notation staves and tablature are both shown, it is customary only to notate rhythms on
the notation staff. However, when only tablature is shown, it is necessary to show rhythms on
tablature.
The following items are shown to indicate rhythms when tablature is shown without notation
staves:
Time signatures
Stems, stem ags, and beaming
Rhythm dots
Rhythms shown on tablature
NOTE
Stems, stem ags, and beaming always appear stem-up on tablature in single-voice contexts,
which means they can collide with guitar bends.

Hiding/Showing notation staves and tablature
You can hide/show notation staves and tablature in different combinations in each layout

can show only notation staves in the full score layout but the notation staff and tablature in a
guitar part layout.
