To prepare for the following steps, we'll remove the slash notation Staff Style we added earlier and view the score with staff transpositions (to view the transposed guitar notes properly - up one octave). Click the icon to the left of the Guitar row to select it.If you haven’t already, choose View > Scroll View.The example you have already created includes a standard notation guitar staff, so the first thing to do is to add a standard notation tablature staff to go with it. If this is the case, access the Tutorial documents by navigating to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Finale 2014\Music Files\Tutorials folder. If you have navigated away from the default "Finale Files" folder, a different folder may appear when you choose File > Open. To access a tutorial document, choose File > Open and double-click the "Tutorials" shortcut. To begin at this point, open tutorial document Finale includes a number of tutorial files that complement the Finale Tutorials. Finale comes with many of these tab staves available as options in the Setup Wizard and also allows you to customize or create your own.
