4 string common not creating tablature
Hello,
I've created a score with musical notation and created a 2nd staff of Tablature4lines and set the staff type for 4strings common but it doesn't generate the tablature numbers. Is there a step I'm missing or an issue with the software generating the tablature?

When you created your 2nd staff, you added a 2nd mandolin instrument with its own independent staff which you set to the common TAB type. If you want this 2nd mandolin to play the same notes as the 1st mandolin, you can copy/paste the top staff into the TAB staff (the copied notes will change into TAB notation when pasted into the TAB staff).
On the other hand, if you wanted the TAB staff to automatically translate the standard notation of the 1st mandolin into TAB you should create one mandolin instrument and then add a 'linked' TAB staff to form a paired standard staff with TAB staff. This way, changes to one staff are automatically reflected in the other.
