11 notes over two beats in Guitar Pro 8

I’m trying to transcribe something and I’m hearing a lick as being approximately 11 notes over beats 3 and 4. How do I notate this correctly in GP8? I have notated the notes, but GP8 keeps throwing in a 16th note rest just after that G note - there shouldn’t be a rest there.

Hopefully, this will all make sense. I’m probably not using the correct technical language, which is why I can’t find the answer :joy:

So, you have this starting on beat 2 in your transcription - fix that first. From here, I’m using GP 7.whatever, but I assume it’s mostly the same.

Enter in only the first 16th note, starting on beat 3.

Click “note” up top, which will drop a menu, and go to duration.

Hovering over duration should cause another side menu to appear, which shows tuplet groupings. 11 is listed, so hit that.

Enter in the rest of the notes.

It will stay in 11tuplet mode until you tell it otherwise, so just be aware of that. That should be easily accomplished by clicking it off in the notation menu on the left.

EDIT: it should look like this when you get it right.

thanks - this was driving me crazy. It was quite an easy solution. :+1:

Sorry @Riffdiculous , while you’re here, and instead of opening another thread, would you know how to note a rhythmic bend?

The guitar is bending from F# - G in a 16th note rhythm, but only the first note is picked. Is my tab right? it looks a bit untidy the way the bend notation is kind of sitting over the B note on the 12th fret.

Okay, so first - is there an audible release from the bend, or does it go (pitch-wise) F# G F# G and then straight to B? If it just bends up to G and doesn’t release, change the bend in the fourth 16th note to “hold”. That will make everything look like this:

If there is an audible release in there, it has to fit somewhere. If the B lands squarely on beat 2, you could make the first beat a quintuplet, like this:

That help at all? I do feel that notating bends in GP is a little wonky in general.

Thanks!! The quintuplet works best in this case - I never thought about notating the bend like that but it seems to work.

Thanks again!

Glad that solution works, you’re welcome!
