Guitar Tab in Parts
When importing some GP scores from Ultimate Guitar, I've noticed that they have the guitar tablature showing in the parts, but not in the main score. I cannot figure out how this is done. The instrument dialog does not show the tab staff at all. Right-clicking on the tabs haven't given any useful information either. Help!

Thanks, but I already tried all that. Adding a linked staff for tablature adds it to the main score. In the ones I'm looking at, there's no tab on the main score, but there is in the parts. Have a look at the guitar parts in this file, for example.

Thanks. Now we'd need to turn this into a proper bug report in the issue tracker
GP import improvements is something that is currently being worked on for MuseScore 4

And a feature request (AKA suggestion), at the same place, for allowing to hide linked (tablature) staves in main score and/or part (i.e. make them invisible idividuall in either, not only the entire instrument)

if you want to reproduce it make the guitar only with tablature, make the part and then add the standard notation in the main score

That does work, but reproduces the exact opposit: tablature only in part, normal staff + linked tablature in main score,

sorry
a workaround could be:
write a score with standard and tab (to have the right frets)
delete the tabs
make a part called score or the title with all instruments
add the tabs again and make all the parts
so you have the same with only one full score added

Yes, that looks very similar.
