The Score view
Video Tutorial about the score view
With the score-symbol at the upper left of the fretboard panel you can switch to the score view.
The score view shows you the notes related to the actual chord in the chordtable.
At the same time, you can see the notes of the next chord as well. This helps you to find out, which note of the next chord could be a good target to play a fluent solo.
The first thing you should do in the score-view is to select the key of your instrument with one of the grey buttons at the left side.
The key of Eb is selected here in this picture.
Is another key than C or bass selected, the cursor (red frame) turns into blue.
This indicates you, that the playback plays other chords than shown in the table!
In the key of Eb, the two chords shown above, Gbm6 and Bm6, are actually Am6 and Dm6 in the standard key of C.
When you run the playback, it will play the chords Am6 and Dm6!
You should not transpose the song in the grid to the tonality of your instrument, because the playback would sound wrong.
In this panel you have a big indicator of the selected key of your instrument.
Arpeggio - This switch shows you the arpeggio notes. They are shown in green.
The short key is A.
Scale - This switch shows you the scale notes from your selected scale.
The short key is S.
You can see the scale notes and the arpeggio notes at the same time, if you like.
The accidental
Sometimes, depends on the selected key and tonality of your song, you have to change the accidental to either flat (b) or sharp (#).
You can set the accidental only for the entire song.
I guess, that you know very well which tonality has which accidental, when you can read score.
For others, which maybe want to learn score, here a list of the twelve tonalities and their appropriate accidentals.
Each tonality has its own accidental. It's flat (b) or sharp (#) but not mixed.
The tonalities F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db and Gb use flat (b).
The tonalities F#, B, E, A, D and G use sharp (#).
The tonalities Gb and F# are actually the same.
The tonality C is neutral and has no accidental.
