Normal Treble Clef on Guitar Music
Hi
I'm a new user. First of all congratulations on the developers/community for this fantastic release.
I'm having trouble displaying a normal treble clef stave with linked tablature staves. Guitar music is written an octave higher than it sounds so I understand the logic of an 8va bassa Treble Clef appearing but most commercially published guitar music doesn't follow this convention, instead writing the standard notation with a regular treble clef. This is how I want my score to appear.
When I change the standard notation to a regular treble clef it moves the notes an octave lower (as you would expect) and also changes the TAB stave to a regular treble clef. When I try to change that back to a TAB clef it changes both staves to TAB clefs.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

When you create a new score, the guitar instrument with "normal" treble clef is available. Type guitar in the search field and it will be "Guitar (Treble Clef"), see image:

Thank you so much. I didn't see this template as I was on "Common Instruments" not "All Instruments. Really appreciate your help.

By default in the programm, the template is treble clef 8va guitar + Linked TAB (Solo category) There's no ready-made template with a guitar (Treble Clef) + linked TAB.
I created it for you, quite simply, from the normal Treble Clef guitar (in All instruments) to which I added a linked staff. You can create absolutely any personalized model you want in this way.
You can only fake it.
Hide the 8va bassa clef.
In the Master Palette / Symbols you can find several clef symbols. Place the treble clef to the first note. It is displayed in the normal staff as well as in the TAB system. Hide it in the TAB system and move it to its correct position in the treble staff. For good visibility on the screen, increase the stacking order but this will not affect the printout.
Or, create a little white picture and place it on the '8' of the 8va bassa to cover it.
If you like to choose your way, simply delete the treble clef in the TAB and then the TAB symbol comes back. But since you raised the notes by an octave, the TAB will also show wrong fingerings.
(checked in 3.6.2)

I'm good to go with new scores thanks to user cadiz1 but this helped me "fix/correct/re-display" some existing work. Thank you very much for your help - really appreciate it.
