TAB: Make tied notes visible without showing stems

• Jun 18, 2015 - 20:24

I would like to suggest an additional feature for the stave properties of a TAB staff.

Currently, in order to view subsequent tied notes in TAB you also have to make the stems visible in: stave properties > Advanced style properties > note values > shown as > stems and beams. But with linked staff/TAB the note values are already shown in the staff and you may not want to duplicate information and clutter up the score further with note stems. But it is useful to have the option of the extra clarity that "revealed" tied notes in TAB can give the reader.

The solution to this is to add another tick box called "Show tied notes" next to the "Show rests" field (in the note values dialogue). This would give the user greater control of the visual appearance of the score. The user can now show or hide subsequent tied notes regardless of what stem or note value options they chose in the "note vaues" dialog.
