Changes to the tablature configuration dialogue: comments?

• Mar 2, 2012 - 22:36

A few days ago, the Tabulature configuration dlg box was changed trying to:

1) separate a "quick mode" with just presets and a "full mode", with all the parameters; the two modes are 1 button click away one from the other, so flipping back and forth should not be a problem. The rationale behind this change is that that dlg is very crowded (and probably more parameters will be added) and this was an attempt to un-clutter it a little.

2) adding a preview box; again the largish number of parameters, sometime interconnected, seemed to require a way to visually check the effect of each. On purprose, the preview shows a fixed example rather than the staff being edited, because a) the staff in question might be not even a tabulature and b) the example should, at least in principle, contains show elements for each parameter.

Probably there are adjustments and/or improvements to do: comments on it are welcome.

Thanks,

Hello, I don't know wether it is already an issue:

It would be a great thing if there was a mode in the tabulature configuration box where the direction of "note" stems in the tabulature could follow the rules of common guitar notation: If there are two independet voices in the system - wich is typical for guitar notation - stems of the bassline are all directed downwards while stems of the treble notes go upwards. If there was a mode that would make the tabulature follow these rules also, it would be perfect.

I hope this is the right place to post a suggestion such as this, pardon if not.

Best regards

Accomplished, stems behave the way described.

The are some options to change the format of fret numbers (different fonts and sizes), but I could not find an option to show fret numbers with bold print, so they are easier to read.

Thanks,

I'm not sure where to post this but can someone add a standard tuning 5 string bass TAB (BEADG) selection in the plucked strings instruments in Musescore 2.0 BETA
