I’m entering a competition for which I have to submit sheet music showing note for note what I play. I’m recording/mixing four parts: banjo, guitar, mandolin, and vocal. I’ve created the banjo tabs, but I have a couple of questions:
- How do I show mandolin chops on tabs?
- How would I show guitar rhythm on tabs?
I’m using Musescore, which I acknowledge probably isn’t the best for tabs, but it’s what I have. I understand that typically chops and rhythm wouldn’t be shown on tabs, but it’s what they ask for. I might even have to translate it to standard notation, but the program can do that for me. It’s not a “bluegrass-specific” competition, which is why the rules sound a bit strange in the context of bluegrass music. I appreciate the help! Also, hats off to @BanjoBen specifically, but also any others who create tabs. I know that @Michael_Mark and @Mason_Crone both do it as well, but I’m not sure of any others. I’m learning that it’s not always easy!
