Press the Spacebar to play your file. Notice that the Fretboard displays the name
of each note above the string and fret you would play it on as the note plays.
Regenerate TAB
The Regenerate TAB command works on selected regions in a track to modify the
fingering according to the method you choose. The TAB display by default uses the
'floating' algorithm which allows the notes to spread over the entire fretboard. By
choosing the "fixed" algorithm instead, you can designate a specific finger span
and lowest fret which causes the TAB of a selected region to be displayed within
this range. This usually creates a more compact fingering system.
The Regenerate TAB command gives you a third choice for displaying tablature
MIDI channel. This uses the event's MIDI channel to determine which string the
note should be displayed on. When MIDI Channel is selected, the user chooses
which series of MIDI Channels should be considered. This is useful for MIDI
Guitarists that record parts in MONO mode, where each string transmits on a
different MIDI channel.
To Regenerate TAB
1. In the Staff view, use the Select tool to drag a rectangle around the notes or
TAB numbers you want to change.
2. In the Staff view toolbar, click the dropdown arrow on the Staff View Layout
button to display the tablature dropdown list.
3. Choose Regenerate TAB to open the Regenerate Tablature dialog box.
4. Select Fixed from the Method field and fill in values for Finger Span (usually
4), Lowest Fret, and Number of Frets (usually 21).
5. Click OK.
SONAR regenerates a TAB based on your specifications. If notes are out of the
range you specified, SONAR displays them as close to that range as possible.
Entering Notes from the TAB Staff
You can enter notes or chords directly from the TAB staff.
