Linking notes to tablature on four frets manually
I see from reading past posts that tablature can be manually accomplished from the piano data, How is this created? Thanks.

That score crashes MuseScore (3.2.3 on Windows 7). It does not in the latest development build though...
Reg. tablature and linked staves see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tablature
Your score uses 2 separate instruments, you need one instrument with a 2nd linked staff of type tablature
Probably best to start with the Guitar + Tablature template

Sure? Where? If so, it's a misunterstanding.
Have you already see a pianist plays on tablature? No! So, it's no intended for.
But: you can easily change intrument (right-click on the piano staff -> staff properties -> Instrument change -> Guitar/standard staff, etc.)
This done: select "new" guitar standard staff -> Ctrl + arrow down (to get the right pitch/octave considering the clef 8va)
Finally, you have only to copy-paste. And you receive: Expanding_Your_Strums1.mscz

Bizarre, that score crashes for me too!
Anyway, those staves are still not linked, but would better be.

NB: no crash here with the 3.2.3. How do you receive that?
And why you say? "score crashes for me too". For you surely, but not here, at least right now.

Thanks. I'm using 3.2.3. They might be using old versions. Someone got something wrong with my query.

i tried with teh Guitar tab and it still only tabs at 17th fret. Must be something wrong in my settings.

You better should update
Check the string data, is that guitar setup for more then 17 frets?

Both your and the OP's score crash MuseScore 3.2.3 for me, on opening that score. Not latest master build though.

?? OP, below, I quote: "I''m using Windows 7 on Version 3 and dont' get any crashes."

Great idea, Jo-jo. I use the piano score to teach the tablature alongside it. Thanks for the handbook page. I tried hunting for it. Good one. I will reverse it and see what I can do. Note; I''m using Windows 7 on Version 3 and dont' get any crashes.

Not able to update at present, something internet error. I tried the Guitar template first but still showing tablature at 17 fret instead of the. first 4. I wondered if it had something to do with string data.

Well, that template comes with a guitar that has 19 frets
But 17 - 4 is 12 which is an octave... and Guitar is an octave transposing instrument

Hi Jojo
It worked, not sure how I did it but I created a new score and just put in the guitar tablature and copied the piano notes overwhich resulted in it converting into the weird numbers on the tablature but, but , but. I highlighted each line and used the down arrow or Up and got the correct tab settings without altering the score. WOOHOOOO! I then copied and pasted to my piano score. I think that's the deal of it. Thanks for the idea. Michelle

Ctrl+up/down for an octave

Wow that works.
Your attachment shows chords on the piano staff that "look" as if they are voiced for guitar (G chord).

The problem is that the guitar sounds an octave lower than it is written.
If you drop the piano staff an octave, it will paste into the TAB staff correctly.
Even changing instrument to guitar shows the need for octave lowering:

So, the best way is to change to a guitar instrument, lower the octave, and then add a linked TAB staff so the TAB gets filled automatically (without copy/paste).
(Oh, and get rid of that unlinked TAB staff.)

Thanks for this. I wanted it exactly as I saw in a book on tablature. Actually you got it exactly as I wanted. Wow. You've given me information to understand what was happening re: guitar. Much appreciate.
You are quite right of course. I will keep your notes, wonderful of you. GREAT IDEA Michelle
