Tablature followed by Staff in same score ?
Hi,
Apologies for the newbie question but I am learning guitar and am trying to create some practice sheets for the course I am following and cannot see how to do what I need :
I have a Musescore 4 score for each excercise set I am creating and some of the excercises in a set are notated in Tab but others are notated on a Staff. I would like to change from Tab to Staff within the same page of a score with Tab lines followed by Staff lines as required for the different learning tasks.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this in Musescore 4 ? I have tried to finish a section with System Breaks and/or Section Break and then select the following measures, right-click and select "Stave/Part Properties" from the pop-up menu but the "Style Group" property "Tablature" is not editable from there.
I also tried to "Insert stave type change" from the "Layout" Pallette but editing the properties of this from its right-click "edit element" did not bring up a menu, neither did pressing F2 nor [Alt-Shift-E] bring up a menu.
Any ideas what I need to do would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Boo

OK, apologies for the noise, but I have just found the Properties tab on the Palettes etc bar and it seems if I select the "Stave type change" element then the "Properties" tab I get stuff relating to the Stave but nothing that permits a type change from Tab to Staff ?
Thanks,
Boo

It is not suported (yet).
Workround could be to use two staves, one standard and second tab, and set "hide empty staves" option.

Limit is, change have to be on system break.

Thanks for the advice, that does work but there are various issues:
Firstly, I sometimes need the staves+tab to be linked and sometimes not.
Secondly, if they are linked then they can't be hidden except by hiding the bars individually - selecting many bars by shift-right-arrow then deselecting bars doesn't work, neither does deselecting a group of bars in the Bar properties dialog box and unselecting "visible" then "Apply", that only deselects one of the selected bars.
Am I right that what I really need here is the "Albums" feature that used to exist ? I'm aware it is planned to come back and I'll look forward to that for a proper solution.
In the meantime I just want to give a heartfelf "Thank you" to all the people who've invested their time into creating and developing this marvellous piece of software, it really is a credit to the open source movement.
Thanks,
Boo
