Hi all- A guitar part I'm working on has notes outside (above) the range of a standard six-string instrument with normal tuning. The highest note is eight frets above playable (assuming a standard 20-fret instrument).
Is the most common solution a retuning of the strings (when an instrument without the needed extension isn't available)? If so, is there a secondary tuning that is more common than another for such situations, or do I just retune as many frets upward as necessary for that one string and know the average guitarist can handle it? Should all strings be retuned by that amount in order to keep the intervalic relationships between strings constant? (This is what instinct tells me to do.....) BTW, is it common practice to indicate the new note names directly next to the affected strings at the beginning of the TAB score? I'd like to finish up my engraving ASAP, and don't want to make a score that's as unreadable as the notes are unplayable, so many thanks for your help- Cecil Rigby [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal) www.harrockhall.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
