Songwriter 2010 missing fretted instruments

[emperor1951]

I was hoping to work with the guitar and mandolin tab feature in SW 2010. But I can't seem to find the Fretted Instrument Wizard as per the user manual. Any Ideas on this?

In Windows, the Guitar, Guitar (TAB), and Mandolin are in the Setup Wizard>Fretted Instruments. There is no mandolin TAB in SW. Also, be aware that SW will do basic TAB only: no alternate tunings, no slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs. etc.

Please tell us what program and version you are using, and add that information to your signature, in the Control Panel.

My question is that I do not see any 'Setup Wizard>Fretted Instruments' kind of menu. When I go to NEW | Document with Setup Wizard. I'm presented with a list of Ensembles of which none are 'Fretted Instruments'. Supposedly I can create an ensemble with 'Plucked Instruments' and select Guitar tab from there.

Ensembles are in the first screen, for pre-supplied groups. Just click the NEXT button, and all will be clear!
