Inputting guitar pre-bends/pre-dives

You can input guitar pre-bends on any existing notes belonging to fretted instruments. You can also specify that pre-bends should be played using the vibrato bar, a technique that is known as a “pre-dive”.

Prerequisite

• The lower zone is shown.

• Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

• If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Procedure

1. Select the notes before which you want to input guitar pre-bends/pre-dives. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
2. In the Properties panel, activate Pre-bend interval in the Guitar Pre-bends group.
3. Change the interval as required.
4. Optional: To turn the guitar pre-bends into guitar pre-dives, activate Vibrato bar pre-bend and the corresponding checkbox in the Guitar Pre-bends group.

Result

Guitar pre-bends of the specified interval are input before the selected notes. They are shown as guitar pre-dives when Vibrato bar pre-bend and the corresponding checkbox are both activated.
