Hi, I have written a song for guitar in standard mode. How is it possible to convert the score to tab mode ?

this is how I would do it:
1) in score setup create a guitar staff
2) cntrl-shift-a the original track to select it and ctrl-c to copy it
3) paste the copied track to the new guitar staff
4) right-click on the guitar staff and, in the staff settings panel, choose "show tab"
that's it
if you need to fine tune the fingering, show the fretboard and change where necessary...

That's exactly what I did.
But the result has no sense at all

I see... looks like Notion is interpreting those as concert pitches, when they should sound an octave lower, right? have you set the staff to the correct transposition (1 octave lower)?

there is certainly something wrong but I can't get this result (I tried all types of transposition, including manually...)
