Tablature improvements

• Dec 7, 2013 - 06:41

Though I already have posted some remarks in technology preview I repeat my suggestions for the tab functions here:

1. in lute-tabs rhythm signs are usually written above the tab (not above and below like in some guitar tabs), and they are only put there when the rhythm changes. MuseScore 2.0 seems to be unable to show the rhythm signs in french or italian tabs correctly because it shows only the rhythm of the upper voice of a piece with two or more voices. (I send herewith a short tab where I have marked those „errors“ with red flashes!). Of course it would be fine if MuseScore could show the correct rhythm.

2. another improvement would be if MuseScore could show at the beginning of each bar the last rhythm sign from the bar just before. This would make tabs much easier to read and follow.

3. it would be helpful to be able to create its own „instrument templates“, which should include all information about the instrument(s) I will make a tab for - for example different tunings for lutes (from 6 -14 courses) or other plucked instruments (irish bouzouki, cittern, etc.) - and save them for further use.

Would be great if MuseScore could be completed and improved in this way.

All the best
