The Classical Guitar template contains expressions for String, PIMA, and Fingerings.

When you are adding expressions for guitar note the short cuts. For instance -- double click the expression tool > in the left column click PIMA > note that each of the expressions in that category has a shortcut in the upper right hand corner of the box, so for instance if you want a p you just hold down p and click the note. There are other shortcuts in other categories, and you can add your own shortcuts.
