I’m working on transcribing the chords to a song and there is a riff it in and I worked out a line to play. Since the song is largely chords, I have been writing it out as a chord chart, but I really need to add in a single bar of tab. Can I do this in Musescore?
If you’re doing your chord chart the same way people normally so them (like a realbook,
Then yes, you simply set the stave to be tab rather than notation, put your chords along the top like normal, and have tab wherever you need.
If you’re doing it differently, consider moving to this format, it’s very common and means you can do exactly what you’re trying to do with complete freedom.
Just as an extra, if you’re wondering what to put in the majority of bars, maybe a rhythm or strumming pattern helps. That way your friends can jam with you too!
