ambient Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have a lot of solo and bass line transcriptions for 6 string bass that I've done using Sibelius 7. I've done them in standard notation, but I want to add TAB to the charts but I can't work out how to do it. Anyone know if it's possible ?

No, I've never done it (I don't use Sibelius...); hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I want to do it for people who don't read notation. Sibelius does do all that, thanks. I'll have a look at Guitar Pro 6, never used it before. It's not necessarily 6 string bass. Thanks. Edited June 3, 2014 by ambient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) press 'i' and see if there's a 6 string bass TAB in the list that appears. once you've found it press 'add to score'. Once you're back on the score screen triple click the bass notation (this will select everything on that instrument), hold down the 'alt' key on the keyboard and single click the empty TAB staves and the bass part should appear as TAB.
