RESULT
Vibrato bar dives are input between notes with descending pitch directions and vibrato bar
returns are input between notes with ascending pitch directions. If a vibrato bar dive ends on
the same note that a vibrato bar return starts on, they appear as a V on tablature with the bend
interval shown at the point. If you input vibrato bar dives on consecutive notes with the same
pitch direction, such as E-D-C, they are notated on tablature with an additional line protrusion
beyond the staff and bend interval for each vibrato bar dive.
Vibrato bar dives and returns automatically point upwards or downwards on tablature according
to the pitch direction of the notes they join.
