Update to this:

Finaleguitar.com is now charging $10 a year to download files. They tried using ads to run the site but that didn't work.

If anyone wants this template, just email me: adam@bismanguitar.com

Thanks for your time

Geeeeez; you guys are WAAAY ahead of me... I'm impressed with the possibilities of Guitar in this Finale.

My question is PEANUTS compared to yours, coming up next, but I wanted to let you know your stuff looks very good; I'll refer to it later.

thx,

Here is a musical example and how I would approach notating a tapping technique in a classical style with just treble clef.

I tried to attach my Finale file but the .mus extension isn't allowed.

Seems strange that you can't attach an .mus file on the FinaleForum, doesn't it? Put it in a zip file, and then you can attach it.

After thinking about this a little, I would probably use an approach like this:

Indicate the finger above the note, the technique below the note, and number in a string and/or roman numerals when you think it's necessary.

There is a balance between the symbols that are essential to understand an idea and music so cluttered with symbols that it's confusing.
