Score - Guitar TAB Setup Help Please

[LoKey]

Hello All,

 

I am writing guitar with "Style: Guitar" in TAB view. My problem is that LP is forcing fingering I don't want. Easy example..... C Maj scale. I want A string - 3rd fret, then A string - 5th fret, and so on. It forces A - 3rd fret and D - Open.

I read the Guitar Tablature section of the manual but just can't seem to grasp the concept. Can any one assist in how to set up so I can force any fingering I want?

 

With channel chosen rather than pitch, I can go past the 4th fret but only on the low E string? It's so confusing I just don't get it.

 

I so appreciate any help.

I don't think I ever got this quite right but see here.

Thanks axslinger, I searched everywhere for others having the same problem. It seems the post ends right where my post starts. At least now I know others are working on it too. When and if I figure this one out I will post my results. Till then has anyone out there been thru this?

I did some Bass tabs for my son when he was just starting and to set the higher frets you have to select a higher channel,but it's not incremental,nor regular,as I remember.

The changes occur approximately every 4 channels or so.

It's been a while,so....

Might have a look later and see if I can help more if you're stuck.

Hi

 

 

You are nearly there!

 

1 Don't forget that the guitar is a transposing instrument: it's written an octave higher than it sounds. Set the Staff style for the TAB and the Treble clef to be +12 semitones.

 

2 In Project Settings:Score:GuitarTAB, assign by channel

 

3 In the Event List, adjust the channel of the notes, so that the TAB shifts to the correct string.

Hi

 

Glad to be of help!

 

It occurs to me that it might be better to use "inverse Channel"....

 

MIDI Ch number then = String number..... less for us guitarists to think about!

I hadn't used the TAB function yet. This looks like it might be great for creating TAB lessons for some students.

 

THanks.
