CHAPTER 12<br />

Guitar Fingering & Tablature<br />

204<br />

The commands above are handy as you enter music but <strong>Igor</strong> also provides some<br />

special commands for music that has already been entered. Mark a passage of fret<br />

numbers in your music and Control-click for Macintosh or Right-click for Windows<br />

one of the numbers to try the Refret… command.<br />

Refret… allows you to apply a new minimum fret to a selection of notes. The<br />

Allow open strings checkbox specifies whether open strings are allowed (that is, if<br />

the fret number zero is allowed even if there is a minimum fret limit), and Keep<br />

overrides tells <strong>Igor</strong> whether to keep the tab pins (string overrides) or to throw<br />

the pins away and let <strong>Igor</strong> run the auto-tab logic on all notes instead.<br />

The Allow open strings checkbox is also available in the piece settings together<br />

with, for example, the Collide double stops checkbox. Collided double stops<br />

means that notes with identical pitches may share the same string while uncollided<br />

double stops causes the tab logic to reserve one string, for each of two<br />

simultaneously sounding notes, even if they have identical pitches.<br />

See Appendix A where you will find all the four panes of guitar and tablature settings,<br />

including fonts, placements of the different guitar indications and appearance<br />

of glissandi and bendhats etcetera, described.
