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.

OK so I followed the above. We're getting there, but still all is on one string. Just another one now. This wil surely be my fault, but honestly don't know how to proceed.

How? Well, as said, with a basic operation: copy the content of the first staff and paste it into the second! See GIF below:
Now it's my turn to ask you a question: what else could you have done to get something else?

Yeah legit question. I'm not worried about safety at all. Just want to be able to do it myself. I think someting went wrong with the octave downshift, but hey works now! Thank you for your help
