Hello

Hopefully the attachment displays

I am attempting to copy a particular Bm voicing from notation into the tablature staff.

It seems to me finale is not reading this correctly

the voicing on beat 3 is correct I do not understand why when I cut and paste the voicing on beat1 that it does not paste "logically" for a guitar player!

Any suggestions?

I just found a "work around"

If I eliminate the top note and copy and paste into tab. finale puts it in the appropriate place.

Then I add another layer and enter the top note in layer two

Then when I copy and paste into tablature it comes out correctly!! YEA!

seems a bit obtuse but if the end result is ok I'm satisfied!

Another approach is to enter the tablature in that spot and copy/paste that into notation.
