Re: [Mscore-developer] Tablature question - how to determine if in a 5 staff line banjo tab or not

Yes, I am working on the problem you noted. I want to add a number of things to MuseScore specifically for banjo tablature so this problem seems like a good place to start. To make things even more confusing, this fifth string also has it's own capo. Guitar players sometimes only capo some of th
