Guitar TAB for Lefties

I have a left-handed student who is unwilling to adapt to reading guitar TAB as a rightie and I'm wondering if there is a way in Finale (v.27) where I can reverse the strings on the guitar TAB so the notes on the first string will flip to the sixth string, the fifth to the second, etc. so the TAB would appear as it would in a left-handed world? Thanks.

Indeed it is possible.

It is done in the dialog box Fretboard Instrument Definition where you can set the MIDI number (= Pitch) for each string.

I would create a new Fretboard Instrument (and call it something like Left-Handed Guitar).
