TAB only for one string
Hi, so when I try to change my sheet music to tab (5 str bass), the tab bar appears underneath the notes, I copy the notes and paste them onto the tab section, but i get only one string filled (up to 19th fret). Is this a software limitation? becaude in the tutorial, it uses the whole neck/fretboard
Thanks in advance!

This is not a software limitation. Was your sheet music originally written for bass (so in standard notation), or for another instrument (with a different clef)?
If you join the score, we could understand immediately what's going on.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Nope, the sheet music is for bass. Please find the example included with the reply

Ah, a sheet music for bass, the Voice, not guitar!
You need to Change instrument (via staff/part Properties, or in the Properties panel), i.e. replace Voice for Bass Guitar, standard notation.
Once you've done this, select the entire contents of this bass guitar and press Ctrl + down arrow to move everything down an octave
All that's left to do is paste the whole thing into the TAB staff of your guitar bass 5str.
