Converting Score To Guitar Tab

• Jan 25, 2017 - 19:18

I am able to convert a score to mandolin tab, but when I try to do the same for guitar or banjo all the notes of the tune end up on one string. How can I fix that?

Also, is there a way to tab for either of those instruments that accomodates the use of a capo?

Thanks,

Brian

If I understand well: because the mandolin is written in treble clef whereas guitar and banjo use treble clef-8.
So, to fix "all the notes of the tune end up on one string": before conversion to Tab: select all (Ctrl + A) -> Ctrl + Down arrow.
If it is not corresponding to your question, please provide details (eg for which instrument is the initial score)

And for the capo, it would be useful to attach a score by describing the wished result.

Thank you. I selected the entire guitar tab and lowered it one octave. That did the trick! I'm pretty sure that will work with banjo too.
