To change tunings, insert an instrument change. You can use this text to indicate the tuning change to the guitarist. Right click any measure after the instrument change, choose staff/part properties and adjust the string data as usual. This will apply the new tuning starting at the instrument change.

At first i did the instrument change from the TAB, and when i apply string change it did affect the whole score. Then i did the instrument change from the staff, only then the string change started at the instrument change point. Thanks again

I don't understand what happened. Can you attach a score?

as a matter of fact at the end it was i who did not understand anything, cause i did not manage to implement the instrument change i wanted. so basically ignore the previous message. So i did made the instrument change but it did not seem to take effect as i changed the tuning it would affect the whole score. i did publish the score without change in tunning. itsa in the third part.

I just opened the score and realize why it didn't work. The procedure I described works starting in version 3.3, which I should have mentioned since it's so new. In previous versions (including 2.x) there is no way to change tuning part way through the score. You must add a second instrument, set the tuning for that instrument and use Hide empty staves in the Style->General... (Format->Style in version 3.x) dialog box. Also uncheck the option below that that starts Don't hide empty... so your drop D instrument won't be shown on the first page.
