Creating tablature
1.Many guitar synthesizers are able to transmit each string 
on a different MIDI channel. If you have such an instrument, 
set it up so that the high E string transmits on MIDI channel 
1, the B string transmits on MIDI channel 2 etc.
This feature can be used for MIDI string instruments with up to six strings.
2.Record the project. Quantize and edit it as desired.
3.Make sure the option “MIDI Channel 1
–6” is activated 
and convert the notes into tablature, as described above....

Moving notes to another string
If you want for example a “C” to appear as a “8” on the low 
E-string rather than a “3” on the A-string on a guitar, pro-

1.Select one note or a number of notes that you want to 
move to a new string.
2.Right-click on one of the selected notes and, from the 
“Move to String” submenu, select the desired string.

Dynamic crescendo symbols
In the Symbol inspector – Dynamics tab, you will find a 
special crescendo symbol:
This allows you to enter a crescendo or diminuendo in the 
score and have the note velocity adjusted accordingly dur-
ing playback. The same rules apply as for MIDI Meaning:
 The actual notes are not affected – the settings affect play-
back only.
 For the crescendo/diminuendo to be heard, the MIDI sound 
source must respond to velocity.
 The maximum note velocity...

Frequently asked questions
When I select a note, nothing is shown on the info line.
The note is probably tied to another note. This means that 
the second note doesn’t really exist, it is just a graphic in-
dication that the main note is long. Try selecting the main 
note instead.
Symbols and layout
Symbols from the Layout Symbols tab are sometimes 
invisible when I open the score.
This is not a malfunction. Those symbols are part of a lay-
out. If you open the score with another layout, for example...
