show tablature on piano stave?

• Nov 24, 2024 - 08:59

Hi all,

I want to write a guitar part on the tablature stave but I would like to see the same notes displayed on the piano stave above. Is there some way of having the piano notes materialise when the tablature is written?

Thanks

Thanks for your advice. I’m really close to getting this to work. When I click create a linked staff it just gives me the same as the existing staff. I can change staff type no problem but when I create a linked staff it just doubles what is there either standard or tab.

Yes, that is to be expected. When you first create the linked staff, MuseScore has no way to know which of the dozens of tab staff types you want. Once created, select the linked staff (or the original, as you please) and change the staff type to the type you want (General or Tab).

My own preference is to set the original to the General type, create a linked staff, then change the linked staff to Tab. 6-str. full.

One way, from Handbook link above:

  1. Open the New Score Wizard.
  2. In the "Create from template" tab, click on the "Solo" category and choose the "Guitar + Tablature" .
  3. Complete the rest of the New Score wizard.
  4. Change the instrument type, if required, in Staff / Part properties.

You can save as a template.
