Guitar tablature fingering?

Hello bbguitar,

I read with interest your user story about fingering.

Know that my thought is the same. The fingering in tab staff is superfluous, redundant, leads to confusion with the twice numbers (numbers, and left hand fingering), but also with the twice letters (right hand fingering, and letters, if one chooses to show letters on the tabs), and I don't have seeing, in my memory, this aspect in the guitar publishings (except error or oblivion for my part)

The solution of invisibility works fine, it's true. But, it has the disadvantage to be very unpleasant when looking the score ultimately. If we think we should also make them invisible unison notes written in different voices, and others items (various lines, for example), the whole looks like a traffic jam as in the days of summer vacation from! Like this :

Miwarre, on another thread, have reported the case where one would wish, at some point, change the Tab staff type, for a second standard staff. And so, in this case, we would lose the opportunity to see this fingering displayed in the second standard staff.

Personally, I've never used that option. Has it a major and substantial interest? I do not know very well. This argument is to considering nonetheless. That's why I think, in the aim to penalize person, it would useful to have a setting in the advanced staff properties. For the moment, you can show or not in the Tab staff: Clef, TimeSig, Barlines and Rests. So, why not Fingering?

Otherwise, I have thought about your workaround. I think we can achieve the same result a little more quickly.

1) Create new score with standard staff + linked Tab staff → Fill the score, without fingering → « I » → Add two staves not linked → Copy-Past the two staves in an only one operation (not two : staff 1 and then staff 2)

For this, you select the first measure of the standard staff (with Shift) and the last measure of the Tab staff.
-> « I » a last time to remove the two first linked staves. So, you can now enter fingering without duplication, and other items, and you get, as expected, a very clean tab staff:)

To have try, it's possible that this process is perhaps no more tedious than making successively renewing all of invisibility operations on different items, so, the fingerings, notes in unison, lines etc. To have ultimately an unsatisfying visual result.

I probably will adopt this approach, I think, now!

EDIT: I did not forget, of course, the easiest way or faster, to not use linked staves, as said in the first comment. And make a copy-paste in the same way.

I stayed intentionally in the line of the thread, as it is true that the simultaneity of writing in standard staff and Tab staff is a powerful feature, spectacular, attractive, and that avoids the operation of copying and pasting.
With advantages and disadvantages, too!
