Inputting tapping
You can input right-hand and left-hand tapping indications on any notes belonging to fretted
instruments using the ornaments popover, both during note input and by adding them to
existing notes. You can also add tapping with hammer-ons/pull-offs to existing notes.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, do one of the following:
Start note input.
TIP
During note input, you can select additional notes before/after the last input note
without deactivating the caret by pressing
Shift-Right Arrow / Shift-Left Arrow .
Select the notes to which you want to add tapping indications.
NOTE
If you want to input tapping with pull-offs, you must select at least two notes assigned to
the same string with descending pitch directions, such as D-C.
2. Optional: If you want to input tapping onto multiple fretted instrument staves at once,
extend the caret to those staves.
3. Optional: During note input, input at least one note.
4. Press Shift-O to open the ornaments popover.
5. Enter the appropriate entry for the tapping indication you want into the popover.
For example, enter tap for right-hand tapping or lhtappull for left-hand tapping with pull-
off.
6. Press Return to close the popover.
RESULT
The tapping indication you specify is input on the selected notes. During note input, this is
usually the last note you input.
By default, tapping indications appear on both notation staves and tablature and are placed
above the staff.
TIP
You can also add tapping indications to existing notes by selecting them, activating Technique
in the Guitar Techniques group of the Properties panel, and selecting the appropriate indication
from the menu.
