Guitar Tab Ghost Notes
Hi, how do I write ghost notes in the guitar TAB? I'm able to write ghost notes in the regular five line staff, but when I copy the notes over to the guitar TAB, they appear as regular notes and not as an X.
Do you still have an unanswered question? Please log in first to post your question.

Seems to me, unless I'm misunderstanding, that "X" wouldn't make sense in tab - ghost note or not, you would need the number to tell you what fret to hit. Unless it's really so ghosted that it just doesn't matter. In which case, I guess you could mark the note invisible, then add the "X" manually as a symbol or even as text.

Look at this thread and try the workaround (it works) in this thread, especially the third message by the end (with screeshot): http://musescore.org/en/node/43416
And therefore the solution is not to copy-paste (which indeed gives no results), but by using linked staves, as explained.

Neat - I didn't know the linked staves feature existed. Thanks!
The supported way for entering ghost notes in TAB is to use the "Mirror note head" command, which is mapped to the ShiftX shortcut by default (the shortcut can be changed in "Edit | Preferences", "Shortcuts", like any other shortcut).
Please let us know if this is not working correctly or it is not what you intended.
Thanks,
M.

That shortcut (and a lot more) are found in the relevant (and more up to date than this thread) handbook page: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tablature#summary-of-keys
