KDF Fret Numbering: Difference between revisions

Line 320:

The specific fret is indicated by how far it is from a dot: zero, one, two or three frets. The main use of this fret numbering is for tab. But it can also be used for chords, and x8x759 can be written as x ,,0 x ,3 ,1 ,,1.

In Musescore ver 3.6, right-click on the tab. Select "Staff/Part Properties", then "Advanced Style Properties". Check "Show fingering in tablature", and click OK. From the fingerings palette, drag over the number 1. There are two sets of numbers in the palette. Use the second set. Numbers from this set go in front of the number, not on top of it. Next edit the text of the fingering to change the "1" to the ~~Ring Point ⸰~~ (U+~~2E30~~) ~~and to set the~~ font ~~to FreeSerif~~. ~~For double and triple~~ dots~~, use multiple Ring Points in your~~ fingering. ~~When you are done~~, you can copy and paste ~~this fingering~~ onto any number in the tab.

=== Using KDF in MuseScore ===

In Musescore ver 3.6, right-click on the tab. Select "Staff/Part Properties", then "Advanced Style Properties". Check "Show fingering in tablature", and click OK.

Then you can use this Musescore file as a template. Copy the individual fingerings from each note and paste them onto your tab numbers. Musescore will obviously not play the tab back correctly, since the fret numbers are all 0-3, so turn down the tab volume in the mixer.

If you want to make your own dots, here's how:

From the fingerings palette, drag over the number 1. There are two sets of numbers in the palette. Use the second set. Numbers from this set go in front of the number, not on top of it. Next edit the text of the fingering to change the "1" to the appropriate unicode character(s). The unicode characters for hollow dots don't kern as tightly as those for solid dots. So use Unicode Black Circle (U+25CF) ● in 4pt STYXGeneral font for closest kerning. Set the vertical height of the dots by manually moving the fingering or by opening the inspector and editing the Y offset. Once all 9 possible dots look right, you can copy and paste the fingerings onto any number in the tab.
