Lost notes when transferring staff to tabs
I am not sure if I spottet an error in your software or if it is only my error. Here is the issue:
Please open the attached mscz Musescore file. It is in standard notation and mandolin tabs side by side.
For turning this to mandolin tabs only, go to Edit>Instruments and uncheck Staff 1.
However, if you now compare the original with the new, you will notice that some of the notes were lost.
Is that an error in the software or just my error?

If it is, for example, measures 61 and 69 (?), the reason is that you have not requested the display of rests in the TABs. This is why, when there are only two TAB staves, you see empty measures.
To fix this, right-click on the TAB -> Staff/Part Properties -> Advanced Style Properties -> Note values -> Check "Show rests". Your score with rests: 1 With a Little Bit of Luck - My Fair Lady.mscz
EDIT: better like this: 2With a Little Bit of Luck - My Fair Lady.mscz
If it's something else, please be specific about the location and notes involved.

" go to Edit>Instruments and uncheck Staff 1."
I'm not sure I understood everything because one don't uncheck a staff, but an instrument (to hide it)
In this case (?), it's the same thing for the rests.

From what I see on this pdf, it looks like you just made a copy-paste mistake from staff 1 to staff 2. Like, you pasted the selection on the 2nd beat of the first measure (instead of the 1st beat). And so everything is off by one beat.
I can reproduce this by the way, see: With a Little Bit of Luck 1.mscz

JoJo, if the notes are not lost when you do it, I must make a mistake somewhere and the software works. I will need to find the cause. Thanks for checking.
