How does MusEdit figure out which Tab fingering to use?
Generally MusEdit tries to keep new tab fingering close to fingering which is already present on the Tab staff. For example, if a melody is being played near the 8th fret and you enter an open first string E on the treble staff this will be translated to E on the third string, 9th fret to keep it close to the other tab fingering. It is easy to change this fingering to a different position later if you wish – either by shifting one or two individual fingerings or by selecting several measures and letting MusEdit shift all the fingerings to new fret positions.
