If the tuning changes, obviously string + fret number combination will refer to a different pitch. All the guitar players I know work with software which uses this kind of input. MuseScore already have this feature in the current development version (2.x), but I did just a quick test. > > How can I make an horizontal selection? > > Push down mouse-1, drag to the left or right. > > I managed to get it one after several tries. Now I can't make it working anymore. There's something buggy? Or maybe I lost the ability to use the mouse since I use lilypond :-)
