Dear friends,
Today I became perplexed as to why my tablature staff produced negative numbers for only one specific measure. I set the tab staff for a guitar that was tuned this way: (going low to high) DGDGBE, like a G tuning for an original song I wrote. I got through 21 measures no problem, and when I dragged measure 22 down to the tab staff, I got highlighted negative numbers. Has anyone seen this before? I'm using Finale 26 on Windows 7. Thank you for anyone who can help! Scott.
P.S, I typically drag all measure into the tab staff after I'm done, but I didn't do it that way this time around. Measure by measure.

This doesn't answer your question, but if you select the TAB measure and transpose up an octave, is it correct?

Thank you for your suggestions! I selected the measure, and transposed it. It worked! But weird, I've never experienced that before. I hope it doesn't happen again.
