Hi - I am trying to recreate the tablature example in the attached jpeg taken from a Hal Leonard score. A guitar bend is on a tied note the bend is shown at the first point the note appears on the tab. Tie Test. This works for the first bar where there is a tied note but no bend.
I have some pieces where bends are commonly across tied notes and it is very difficult to play without the bend appearing on the note when it is first printed. Is there a way I can make the bend example in bar 2 appear as it does in bar 1 and in the Hal Leonard example please?
Tie be Tie Test. You need to create two notes - one for the fretted pitch and one for the target pitch - and then create a bend between them. Is there a way I can show the post bend on the first printed instance of the tied note on the tab to reflect how it is actually played? I think you want either a pre-bend or a bend.
Many apologies, the file I attached before will probably crash in your version of Dorico as it is from an internal development build. Try this one:. Hi Richard - thank you for taking the time to produce those examples - I should be able to use one of those methods for most cases.
How would I show that appearing at the first time the note is printed please? For a microtonal bend it depends how you want it to appear. You can use microtones explicitly, by creating a EDO tonality system and then bending to a quartertone pitch. Attached in the centre of the picture is a picture of how Hal Leonard notate a quarter tone bend across a tie which is quite similar to your last example.
