The rest of my post was to explain how to put in the fingers above or below the tablature and that is what confused Tam. This will allow you to put your chord letter above or below the tablature. You can then select whether to put the chord letter "above or below the tablature" by just checking in the text position you want. "An even quicker way is open your tab go to the T in the palette where you see a C chord diagram, and click on that and it will bring up your chord text box where you can just add the chords you want-caps or lower case" adding the chord name without a marker showing up in the tab)Īh! Now I see my error in explaining my method and thanks for pointing that out. Jack, can you post a tab where you have added chord names (G, D, C, etc) above a measure using your trick technique. I can't get the hand palette to add anything but right hand fingering. This is exactly what I am after - I hate all the clutter of the diagrams and little red tralngles imbeded in the TAB I much prefer minimum clutter. What do I do when I don't know what the chord is ? ( I am messing around with guitar TAB - I don't play guitar so hence the question)Īnother benefit of this method is that it eliminates all those markers which can clutter up tabs Can't figure out where the chord letters are do I need to create these. I tried this but I ended up with a number 2 inside a circle below the TAB which I couldn't figure out how to remove. If you want the chord letter above the the tab staff then simply click on the pick strokes and fingerings button right next to the 1/4 note =, check in "above tablature" and it will put the finger above the tab. Im not sure I quite follow, I'm a bit slow on the uptake, so please bear with me. I don't want the Chord Diagrams to display just the letters. How do you get chord letters to display above the measures using the Chords as Text Feature. To me, this is much quicker and you can also choose whether you want the fingers above or below the tab.Jack Baker If you want the chord letter above the the tab staff then simply click on the pick strokes and fingerings button right next to the 1/4 note =, check in "above tablature" and it will put the finger above the tab.Īnother benefit of this method is that it eliminates all those markers which can clutter up tabs. If you put your cursor on the note and then right click on the hand palette finger with a right mouse it will automatically put the chord letter below the tab. An even quicker way is open your tab go to the T in the palette where you see a C chord diagram, and click on that and it will bring up your chord text box where you can just add the chords you want-caps or lower case.
