Guitar Tablature.
The notation screen now has an option for Guitar Tablature, that displays any

Automatic Guitar Chord Solos to any Song!
Now you can easily make and learn a professional quality guitar chord solo to
your favorite song!
Load in any song with a Melody into Band-in-a-Box (or generate a song with a
melody). Then open the Guitar Window and Press the 'Auto-Generate Chord
Solo' button. Band-in-a-Box then generates a chord solo on guitar for that song,
using the same guitar chords that the pros use. Chord types can be selected to
use standard, advanced, or embellished chords. The chord solo plays on the
correct positions on the guitar window, so you can see the performance played
on guitar. Or view it in notation, or TAB , and print it out!
There have been many enhancements to the Guitar functions in Band-in-a-Box.
You can set the Melody or Soloist track to be a "Guitar Track".
This is set from the Melody-Track Type menu.

•
The Notation/ Leadsheet and Printout shows as Guitar Notation (up an
octave, in treble clef only).
