I have a question about entering fingeripicking in notation format.
Quite often I will encounter tablature and even create some myself based on a finger picking pattern.
Most ofingerpicking parts have the equivalent of two parts. In other words you have a back-and-forth base line on the bottom, and you also have a melodic top line on the top.
When you enter notation in band in a box, it doesn’t look at the world that way. It just sees a flurry of notes and it yields some conflicting and sometimes confusing tablature.
Is there a way to orchestrate the notes so that the bottom line in the top line are more or less independent?
You see that all the time in professionally done notation. I just don’t know if it’s possible with band in a box.
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
What I do is break up the finer picking pattern into two parts. I notate the bass (thumb) part on the soloist track, and then the melody (fingers) on the melody track. You can then print out a lead sheet with just those two parts. You can also hear both parts played together.
It's the best you can do in BIAB without getting a separate tab notation program.

Thanks.
That is a really good idea and it seems to work very well in the base line which is just regular eighths notes.
However for the melody line, I am trying to get to eighth note triplets. And for some reason for notation and play back I get 16th notes.
I’m doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks again.
Michael

pick a swing style rather than an even style, or change the print option to triplet
