This text seems to indicate that dual staves, treble clef and six line for guitar strings EADGBE with numbers
for frets can be drafted.
But the instructions are not making sense and the screen shots do not look anything like my software.
Would like to have two staves but would settle for the guitar strings EADGBE with numbers.
for frets.
The confusion may be because the version being used is v4.0.2... and the online instructions seem to be for version 3. But am trying to follow the concepts without the screen shots but it goes nowhere.
How to add guitar strings EADGBE with numbers stave?
Thanks.
