Can I get PowerTracks to display more realistic guitar tab and correct fingerings in the Fretboard Window?
For the most realistic representation of a guitar part in the Notation Window (tab) and Guitar Fretboard window, the MIDI note data needs to be on multiple channels. Usually, channel 11 is used for a note that should be played on the 1st string, channel 12 is used for the 2nd string, and so on up to channel 16. If multiple channels are not used, there is no way for PowerTracks to know for sure which string each note is supposed to be played on. PowerTracks will do its best to figure this out and this will be adequate in many cases, but you may find some places where a “live” musician would use a different string. You can change your track into a guitar-type track by going to the Notation Window Options dialog and selecting ‘Guitar’ from the Tablature pull-down menu. This will show you tab, but will not modify any of your note events. You would need to either use a MIDI guitar to record your melody, or go through each note one at a time by right-clicking on the note in editable notation
