Text effects don't work on tablature numbers
Posted by doloreshome - 22 Mar 03:33AM
I've been trying to change the 'horizontal scale' amount on my tablature numbers (Text styles>tablature numbers) but it doesn't work, nothing changes. I noticed all of the other effects under 'advanced formats' don't work either, with the exception of 'angle'. Is there a reason why the effects don't work with tablature numbers?

I would also like to note that the 'erase background' feature does not work either with tablature numbers. I'll attach a photo that shows what I'm trying to achieve (not my screenshot)

See the Sibelius Reference, section "3.8 Guitar Notation and Tab", sub-section "White out around tab notes".

For other properties, things appear to be hard-wired and non-editable.

It's not easy to find, so here's the sat-nav.
PS. I'm so sorry. The destination has been obscured by Avid's bloody footer splash.
PPS. If you zoom in, you can see the rest of my PNG.
