You can input vibrato bar dives and returns between both adjacent and non-adjacent existing notes using the ornaments popover.

Note

You cannot input vibrato bar dives and returns during note input or on the last note on a staff.

Prerequisite

You have input at least three notes with alternating pitch directions, such as D-C-D, that you want to join with a vibrato bar dive and return.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the two notes you want to join with a vibrato bar dive.
    Note

    The notes must be on the same staff and have a descending pitch direction, such as D-C.

  2. Open the ornaments popover in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-O.

    • In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers Popovers button, then Ornaments Ornaments button.

  3. Enter vibbend into the popover to input the dive.
  4. Press Return to close the popover.
  5. Select the two notes you want to join with a vibrato bar return.
    Note

    The notes must be on the same staff and have an ascending pitch direction, such as C-D.

  6. Open the ornaments popover in any of the following ways:

    • Press Shift-O.

    • In the Notations toolbox, click Popovers Popovers button, then Ornaments Ornaments button.

  7. Enter vibbend into the popover to input the return.
  8. Press Return to close the popover.

Result

Vibrato bar dives are input between notes with descending pitch directions, and vibrato bar returns are input between notes with ascending pitch directions.

If a vibrato bar dive ends on the same note that a vibrato bar return starts on, they appear as a V on tablature with the bend interval shown at the point.

If you input vibrato bar dives on consecutive notes with the same pitch direction, such as E-D-C, they are notated on tablature with an additional line protrusion beyond the staff and bend interval for each vibrato bar dive.

Vibrato bar dives and returns automatically point upwards or downwards on tablature according to the pitch direction of the notes they join.
