Peter,
After owning BB for these many years, since version 6, I finally sat down a figured out how to do something right. For years now I have been trying to get BB to play the right Tableture, for a new song I am trying to learn, when I import a melody into BB. Well yesterday I found out what the N+ and N- does along with the < and > keys. Thanks to you again for making a great product. It works great and puts things where I want them. Now I can slow the song down and learn the tabs the correct way. If you were to publish a pdf of how to do this procedcure, I'm shure thousands of guitar player like myself would appreciate it. I know once I figured it out, I was very glad. Thanks again for a great product. David

When I want to learn a guitar riff, I have to do several things because the only tableture program I have is BB. The first thing I do is write the song in Music Time Deluxe. From there I program the software to lower the song a octave so that BB can read the G cleft right for guitar. The next thing I do is make a midi file of the rift or song. I then go to BB and insert all the chords needed for the song and then import the midi as a melody over the top of the BB file I just created. From there I change the Melody to guitar so that the G Cleft will read and be in tableture notation. I then play the song with the guitar fretboard open (marker set at the Open fret) to see if the tabs are in the correct position. If they are not then I go into BB's song editing mode where I see the G cleft and the tabs for the song in question. I then use the "< or >" keys one at a time until I get to the note that needs to be changed on the tableture line. Then by using the Nt+ and Nt- keys, I am able to give each note it's correct position on the fretboard. I haven't experimented with bends, pull-offs, and etc as of yet but BB is able to read them, I asume they are editable. Hope this helps. A very short version. david

David,

Sorry if I'm just out in left field somewhere, but what are the "Nt+" and "Nt-" keys? Are these the + and - keys on the numerical part of the keyboard? (These aren't present on my laptop).

thanks,

Bruce

Yes,
They are located on the guitar fretboard along with the < and > buttons. However, you have to push the music edit key, the quarter note button, in order for them to work.
