Reason why Tableture staff works only with guitar?
Hi everyone. After many hours of finally finding out why I can't change the tableture staff on anything but guitar I am left with questions why this is so?
Why aren't we simply able to change say piano to Tab6 tableture or any other staff type (or also known as notehead schemes) https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/custom-staff-types on say piano or change to Jianpu scheme. I haven't found the way how to do it just yet, but I'm still looking.

You can create a piano score with linked TAB but you can't press on the strings on a piano so there's no point programming that, really. If you want to copy piano music to a TAB you can add a TAB stave and copy and paste. Or, you can change the piano to a guitar and add a linked TAB stave. But, if you try to change the guitar back to a piano you will lose the TAB.

actually you can press strings on a piano as well as play slide... there are u-tube videos demonstrating... looks painful to press them though... :-) and of course 88 plus lines in the tab would be a challenge :-)
For Jianpu notation, see:

I think in Musescore 3 it worked (you could add tablature to any instrument)

I don't think it did.

Sure not. Only to instruments that have string data

True, I was wrong.
But now is seems to be disabled also for (bowed) strings.

Those too don't have string data

Hm. Yes.
I probably added it directly into mscx file in text editor.

Or used my template from https://musescore.org/en/node/48596#comment-1022097 or the String Quartet template.

Try the String Quartet template, Mu3 and Mu4...

IIRC tablature to violins and the like were possible in some older Mu2 (not in 2.3.2). Not so in Mu3 though, sure not in 3.2.6

There is a Violin Fingering plugin but you would need to modify it a bit by adding H (high) or L (low) to some of the numbers as each finger may be used for two semitones. However that doesn’t come up much in beginner or simple folk music.
