Hi, Yes, it is possible. Actually, you enter the notes naturally and you can get a score or a guitar tab (or both) from the same source. See https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/guitar for some simple examples. Regards, Jean Le dimanche 07 février 2021 à 10:23 -0600, John Ward

Guitar tab question

2021-02-07 Thread John Ward
I'm new to music notation software and I have a question. Does Lily Pond include the feature that allows you to write in guitar tab, convert that guitar tab automatically to standard notation and then cut and paste that notation to a piano score? Sibelius and Muse score both have this feature.

When I start to work with the Tab features, my guess is that most of what we do (at least initially) will go right to the LSR. That will probably include scores for Gtr./Tab, 7-string Gtr./Tab, and 4, 5 and 6 string Bass/Tab. I really haven't started to explore LilyPond's Tab features. On a
