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....

Tablature can be edited like any other score. You can 
move notes, handle beaming, stem direction, etc.
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-
ceed as follows:
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...
