Thank you, S. Jones for your quick response; highly appreciated. What you describe is not working for me. Maybe I wasn't very clear in my original post. What I have is a template . I am trying to add (well, re-add) some of the existing staves, which are odd guitar tab staves (9-strings). When I go to the Score Manager, I don't see any method of adding or re-adding an existing stave. There are no staff contents to copy, as this is a template.
I also tried adding a new guitar tab staff; default is obviously six strings. I tried changing this to 9 strings. So: go to ScoreManagaer . select staff in Instrument List. For Notation Style = Tablature. I click Settings > Tablature Staff Attributes > Instrument > Edit Instrument > Fretboard Instrument Definition. Set Number of Strings to 9. The 9 strings show in the dialog box. Click OK. Nothing changes on the 6-string tab staff. Frustrating all around.
