Description

Your idea

Please see the post and score on .org

Recommendation: MuseScore could automatically and accurately choose the logical frets in a linked tablature staff if String Number objects and Capo/Barre lines had a "Determines tablature string assignment" property.

• I'd like to see the that property On by default, which would appropriately prevent the user from dragging the fret to another string.

• Toggling the property Off would allow the choice of an alternate string designation, even if that conflicts with the logical of String Number or Capo Line objects.

Problem to be solved

When a guitar score has String Number objects and Capo/Barre lines MuseScore could more accurately populate a linked tablature staff by taking those objects into account. String Number objects make the string assignments unambiguous.
