Hoping someone can answer this for me...
I'm loving Musescore so much, I'm dropping pieces I've learned or am working on into it and recording my fingering.
My question is regarding the stacked voices and how they're represented in the tablature section. It's treating the second voice as something that is separately fingered (in green).
If I delete the numbering (7/8), it deletes the notes in the second voice. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Not sure how people recommend doing this; maybe marking the tab note invisible (press "V")?

Marking them 'invisible' grays them out. That really doesn't help much though, since they're still there :o)

They are greyed out on screen only, so you can see them to make them visible lter. They are invisible in the actual printed score, though, or any PDF or other graphic generated in "print" as opposed to "screenshot" mode. You can also turn off oncreen display of invisible elements via the View menu.
I suspect the staff lines won't go through invisible fret numbers though, unless you turned on that option for the whole staff.
I'll try that. Thanks!

First off, TAB is brand new to MuseScore 2.0, so many are still experimenting with it...
While it is true that linked staves (treble + TAB) allow for note entry in one staff to be reflected in the other staff, the same is true if you wish to delete something. The deletion gets propagated to the linked staff.
What I have done on occasion (for similar reasons) is to create a score with 1 treble staff and 2 TAB staves - one TAB is linked, and one not linked. This way, you can do note entry in one of the linked staves, which will get propagated to the other (linked) staff. When you are finished with all note entry, copy the *linked* TAB staff into the *unlinked* TAB staff. Now, you can make changes to this *unlinked* TAB staff which will not affect any other staff.
When you are satisfied with the results, you can delete the linked TAB staff, leaving you with one treble and one TAB staff correctly notated. Of course, they are no longer linked so be sure you are done before you delete the linked TAB staff.

Thanks for replying guys! I'll try that method for now Jm.
This looks like a bar from Bach's WTC, prelude 1. That's not the normal way to notate that piece. E.g., the initial B is normally a half-note that persists during the whole first arpeggio. Your fingering problem would seem not even to arise with the normal notation. Obviously you should do whatever you want, but just sayin'...

Good catch Mike!
It's a cold, cruel world for us guitarists that like to play Bach sometimes...
Often I regret not taking up an instrument that lays out every note in front of me, allowing me to just touch them with one finger. But alas, this is my cross to bear. :o)
I'm using Delcamp's adaptation. He also does the same with the next measures. I've managed to pull off a stretch that allows the A to sustain in the following measure. I haven't figured out how to pull that off with the B/C notes in the measure above though.
If you can suggest an adaptation or a key change that would allow it, please do. I'd much rather be true to the original than hack it up :o)

Oh, I see. Hmmm. Good luck!
