If you click on other dynamics’ icon when positioned on existing note, the note will change its dynamics. When you create a note, it will have dynamics previously selected. For each note you can put wanted dynamics. Very important property of a note is it’s dynamics: the “loudness” of a note. By clicking a note will appear on the selected place, and also in the tablature editor by appropriate number on appropriate string. If you decide to write notes above or below five existing lines, aditional lines will appear. Notes are inserted by left-clicking on the score’s line or between two lines. When Score Edition Mode is enabled, you can check and uncheck the Sharp/Flat mode (in Edit menu, also) by which you can insert sharp notes. To be able to insert notes by clicking on the scores, you should be in the Score Edition Mode (you can change mode in Edit menu). If you press Shift+(up or down) you will move the fret value to the string up or down. If you navigate to an existing note (written as a number) and press Shift+(left or right) you will increase/decrease the pitch (fret) on the current string. The note has selected duration and dynamics you can modify afterwards. Each line is a string - when you type a number on a string editor puts on that string a note which is heard if you press a string on typed fret. Tablature editor is represented by the number of the strings instrument possess. Simply pressing the arrows left and right puts you on the next note in the current track, but Ctrl+(left or right) takes you to the previous or next measure.Īrrows up and down navigate you through the strings in tablature editor. You can change the current position of a note you want to enter by clicking on the desired location, or by navigating with arrows of a keyboard. Note duration icons are also located on the main application toolbar. You can change time signature in Composition→Time signature (or on 4/4 icon), and note duration in menu Note→Duration→(wanted duration). When you select a duration of a note you want to enter, TuxGuitar adjusts all the pauses between the current position and the end of a measure (or the next note entered) so you can insert as many notes as possible. Therefore, every new 4/4 measure can contains only one whole note. TuxGuitar has a system that protects the user of making an irregular measure (longer or shorter). The sum of duration of all the notes in a measure is determined by the measure’s time signature. The most important property of a note is its duration. You can access this dialog by choosing Track/Properties in the main menu. Track properties are the most important and should be adjusted for each track: track name, display color, instrument (from the list of instruments), number of strings and tuning. Triplet 8th divides a pair of 1/8 notes and Triplet 16th divides a pair of 1/16 notes into 2:1 ratio. TuxGuitar triplet feel divides the note par in 2:1 ratio. This effect is often used in jazz and blues music. Triplet feel (also: shuffle notes or swung notes ) is the rhythmic device in which the duration of the initial note in a pair is augmented and that of the second is diminished. Natural, for example, represents the C-major, one flat represents F-major, etc. When you choose to change the key signature, dialog appears with existing key signatures. They represent the current scale the song is written in, so there’s no need to constantly write sharp and flat marks. Key signature affects the way the notes are written in scores. Clef can be changed in the middle of the song - when it’s changed the scores display changes from that position and further. There are three types of clef supported in TuxGuitar: treble (default), bass, alto and tenor, which are the most usual clefs. Clef is placed on the beginning of the scores. Clefs are used to mark the specific pitch of the note, so all other notes’ pitch can be determined. When you change the value tempo will be changed from the current place in the song until the end. Tempo also applies for all the tracks in the song, and also can be changed. It indicates how many beats (1/4 notes) song has in a minute - it is marked in BPM’s - Beats Per Minute. Tempo is another value each song possess. It can be changed in the middle of the song - when you change the value time signature will be changed from the current place in the song until the end. Usually it is 4/4, but sometimes it has some different value (3/4 for waltz, 7/8, etc.) Time signature applies for all the tracks. Time signature has to be defined for each song. These are accessed through Composition menu. Each instrument sounds the different way.īefore you start inserting notes into a new song, you have to adjust some settings. Each song consists of one or more tracks.Įach track is assigned to one instrument.
