I thought I knew how to do this but I can't seem to find it in the manual. I want to add stems to my tabs to indicate the time values.

Another question in here. I want to show the Fretboard with the chord symbols once, but not every time the chord appears, but when I uncheck Show Fretboards, every instance of the Fretboard goes away. I'd also like to copy the chords to other measures but can't find a way to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Click the Staff tool .
Double click a tablature staff. The Staff Attributes dialog box opens.
Choose Items to Display section, check Stems.
Click OK. You return to the document with default beams and stems on the tablature staff.

You can enter the chords showing the fretboards, and hide them where you don't want them to print. Or, put them all on a scratch staff, save them as a graphic, and place that at the top of your real doc.


To copy chords, make sure that the Edit Filter has the chords selected.

Awesome! Thanks Miker!
