You don’t need to delete anything. Click on the + towards the right hand corner and the Bass part will come up. You can then edit the part how you wish then save to Pdf.

If you are using Sibelius you are getting ‘electric/bass’ at the start of each line because you are printing the Score rather than the Part. They will look more professional without the names at the side

I don’t think it’s been mentioned but it should be in Eb (3 flats)

I've been grateful for the transcriptions posted on here and elsewhere during lockdown, so I thought it was only reasonable to reciprocate. I heard this track recently and was inspired to do a transcription. The track is 'The Blood,The Blood by Joshua's Troop. The bass player Bryan 'B Dub' White and I'm assuming he is covering his own playing. Good Luck with it, it moves at quite a lick! The Blood, The Blood - Bass Guitar.pdf

Sometimes there is more than one way to write stuff out - but in this case it's got to be they way Joebass has suggested

Usually above where the repeat in question starts or where you put theDS al coda

It is best to indicate whether repeats are to be played on the D.S. or not. ”Play repeats on D.S” or “No repeat on D.S”

Something like this. Mistakes sib bass.pdf

As has probably been mentioned before, notes shouldn't cross the centre of the bar (in 4/4). The Crochets that cross the centre need to be split into Quavers and tied - there are exceptions to this, but none that apply here, apart from the semi breves.

Thanks for putting the Jimmy Johnson solo on. He's a player who deserves a much higher profile than he has. I think it should be just 8va all the way through?

This also applies to semi quavers which should be beamed into beats - even when it includes rests. Sibelius tends not do this by default so there are lots of examples out there now of this rule being broken. If you don't read much these rules may seem a bit fussy, but to people who do read they are important as that is what they are used to seeing. Regarding the Key signature: It is in A, therefore I want to see it with 3 sharps - despite having G and C naturals. As a reading Bass player if I'm playing a Blues in D, I expect it to have 2 sharps despite an abundance of C and F naturals: I want the Key Signature tally to the Key I am in.

Yes please
