Tablature - How do I move open string notes to other frets?
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
When copying guitar music to a tablature staff, all notes that can be played as open are always written as 0. But what if I need to play the E1 pitch on the B-string 5th fret since I also press the A on the E1 string 5th fret? How do I solve this in the tablature staff, so that the player understands that he shall put his finger on the B string 5th fret and not play it as open?

I don't understand. With simple entry tool and clicking in the staff all numbers become notes. The cursor then looks like a 1/2 or 1/1 rest. If I press the down arrow all that happens is that the cursor moves one step down.

For some reason now, when using the simple entry tool, instead of selecting the note it adds a note (i.e. number) in the TAB. On the other hand I can just drag the existing number to the desired string instead.

To select a note, hold Ctrl while selecting with the mouse. I'm not sure if that answers the problem you're describing.

That works!
Was that the way I did it before? I can't remember...
It works with the arrow keys too. I shouldn't have been able to do it without the CTRL key earlier. Strange!
