Editing and correcting tab

Changing a note

Click the note you want to change. Type a new fret number. The note updates immediately.

For string changes: select the note and press Up/Down arrow to move it to an adjacent string. The fret position recalculates to maintain the same pitch.

Fixing rhythm

Click a note and change its duration using the duration buttons (whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and dotted/triplet variants).

To fix the rhythm of an entire bar: select all notes in the bar (click and drag) and apply the correct rhythmic values. The tab editor preserves note pitches while updating durations.

Adding articulations

Right-click a note to add articulation marks:

• Slide up/down — glissando to the next note
• Hammer-on/Pull-off — legato transition
• Ghost note — muted, percussive pluck (shown as "x")
• Dead note — fully muted string hit
• Vibrato — pitch modulation
• Bend — pitch bend with specified interval

Correcting against the original

The most reliable way to verify your transcription: play the isolated bass stem and your MIDI tab simultaneously. If they clash, something is wrong.

Loop the section. Listen. Fix the wrong note. Listen again. When the MIDI and the isolated bass are in unison, the transcription is correct.
