Creating a Ukulele TAB template only

in General
I just bought SP for ios and it looks quite cool.  I’d like to create a Uke tab template without the staff.  I tried editing the Uke & staff template to delete the staff, it is not obvious to me how to do this -  can you tell me how?

I’ve perused the manual but have yet to find the answer.

Thanks!
Dennis

    Given a part that contains notation+TAB (i.e. a grand staff), the best way (starting in v6) to remove the notation (treble) staff (as well as unlink any grand staff) is as follows:
    1. Make sure that Reflow layout is chosen from the Score Menu > View Mode.
    2. Next remove the part group bracket linking the two parts: in Select mode, tap on any part group bracket to highlight it:

    3. Tap again to select the score symbol and bring up the menu items. Then choose Delete:

    4. Tap on the blue indicator (in this case, next to the treble clef) at the very left side of the screen to highlight an entire track. Then choose Delete to remove the staff:

    Sorry for overlooking your response by mistake. After opening a project, you can turn it into a template by choosing Navigation Menu > Instruments menu icon, then tapping the 'Send' icon at the bottom right of the Instruments Menu, as highlighted below. The title of the template you give it will then be available from the list of templates under Projects Window > New > Choose Templates.

    Hi Dennis,

    Great choice on starting with SP for iOS—it’s a fantastic tool! To create a ukulele tab template without the staff in SP, you can start by selecting the uke & staff template as you did. From there, enter the settings for the notation layout, where you should find options to adjust what elements appear. Look for a setting or checkbox that allows you to hide or remove the staff lines, leaving only the tab lines.

    If the option isn't immediately visible, it might be nested under a more general “Layout” or “Visibility” settings menu. Since this can be a bit tricky to navigate, you might also find it helpful to check out resources or forums dedicated to Ukulele Tabs; sometimes other users will have shared custom templates or additional tips for this specific application.

    Hope this helps you set up your ukulele tab template exactly how you need it! :)

    Warm Regards
