Description
Your idea
I would greatly appreciate if there were presets for 7, 8 and 9 string electric guitars, as well as tablature presets for 7, 8 and 9 string instruments.
Problem to be solved
It is very much a hassle to add strings to each of my guitars every time I create a score or add another guitar into my score.
Prior art
I have not used other music notation software.
Additional context
If figuring out what clef to use becomes an issue, I suggest using a regular bass clef for 7, 8 and 9 string standard tuning electric guitars, as the lower range would be covered without too many ledger lines.
