How do I get the fretboard markers to show the fretboard number instead of the note name? Liek Tablature
Instead of E F G, 0 1 3.
Thanks

Hi kdavies,

Normally the fret numbers are just displayed at the edge of the diagram. You can achieve what you want, but you'll need to enter a custom label for each note.


first select the fretboard
now in the "Note Markers" Inspector section, change the "Labels" option to "Custom"
right click on a note
select the menu option 'Set custom label..' (notice there's a keyboard shortcut available if you like using shortcuts!)
type in the number and click OK or hit ENTER
repeat from step 3 for each of the notes you want numbered



Curiously no one has asked about this before, and we've not thought anyone would want to do this!

I'm going to raise a dev ticket to add an option to the "Labels" choices for "Fret number". This would then in effect mean not having to do steps 3-6 - it would automatically display the fret number in the note marker, similarly to how when set to "Note" it displays the note name.
