For some reason, I am having problems using the tablature function. The button next to the Print button doesn't seem to do anything.

I can see the tabs on the bass track, together with the bass clef notation, but here again the button doesn't do anything (eg I can't get the tabs to disappear).

I have a vibraphone on the soloist track, for which I can't get tabs out. I tried changing that to a guitar, but still no tabs. Although if I put the guitar window out, I can get the fingering displayed.

What am I missing?

Hello Cemil,

The buttons next to the Print button in the Notation Window toggle between regular and editable notation mode. They don't have anything to do with guitar tab specifically. If you press the "regular mode" button, and you are already in regular mode (i.e. non-editable notation mode), then nothing will happen. Tab should be displayed automatically on the bass and guitar tracks.

To see tab on the Melody or Soloist track, you need to change the track type to guitar, by going to the Melody (or Soloist) menu | Track Type | Guitar. Note that for the best tab display, the track should ideally have been recorded on channels 11-16; with this system, notes on channel 11 go on string 1, channel 12 string 2, etc.

Thanks - that worked (changing the track type in the menu). I had changed the midi sound, but that hadn't done anything.

Is there any way to get the tabs shifted up or down a string ?
