Entering notes from the Fretboard
If you prefer to work with the Fretboard instead of a musical staff, SONAR makes it easy to enter
notes from the Fretboard. You can enter single notes or chords by clicking the string and fret of the
note you want to enter at the Now Time position.
1.
Display the track you want to add notes to in the Staff view.

Select the Draw Freehand tool in the Control Bar.
Now the cursor appears as a pencil when you move it over the Staff or Fretboard.
3.
Move the Now Time to where you want to start entering notes by pressing SHIFT+RIGHT
ARROW or SHIFT+LEFT ARROW. Each press of the arrow moves the Now Time by the amount
of the note duration you choose in the Control Bar’s Tools module.
4.
Enter a note by clicking the string and fret where you would play the note.
The note appears on the Fretboard, in the Staff, and in the TAB if you have generated one (to
generate a Quick TAB, click the Staff view
Edit
menu and choose
Quick TAB
).
