Getting the tablature from the chords progression

When you add chords, Pizzicato suggests you a chord diagram that represents the chord for the guitar. By clicking on the diagram, you can select another one or create a new one (Pizzicato Beginner or Pro).

Starting with a chord progression, you can ask Pizzicato to create the guitar tablature for it. Here is how to do it.

Insert the chords symbols with the corresponding Pizzicato tool (see www.arpegemusic.com/manual36/EN534.htm ) or with the chord progression window (see www.arpegemusic.com/manual36/EN535.htm )

To create a tablature staff, add one staff and double-click just in front of it.

In the Tablature frame of the dialog that shows up, select for instance the Standard guitar, corresponding to the 6 strings guitar, with the most common tuning. Click OK.

Select the measures of the tablature staff where you want to get the notes. Select the menu item in Edit, Chords, Convert chords into notes... Then click OK in the dialog.

You will then see the chords displayed as notes on the guitar tablature. Notice that you have a rhythmic option in the dialog. By default, Pizzicato will add a chord position at any change of chord, but you may select a position at every beat or every two beats,...
