After using 'composed' tabs for some time, I decided to use the
software to create. So, this will seem like an ez question to most.
I want to make a simple 12-bar blues repeating rhythm accompaniment
but it seems I have to construct each chord by indicating the 'tab'
positions for all 6 notes for every chord! (At this rate, a score
would take forever to transcribe!) I wouldn't mind creating the chord
4 times (for a bar) and copying/pasting the bar, but I haven't nailed
that trick yet either. )--:

How do you 'copy' and 'paste' a chord (or a bar) on the tab line that
simply needs to be repeated?

I have learned about Text chord-names (they are just labels, right?)
that sit above the treble clef. And I know that the software place
the notes on the Clef as you construct the music on the 'tab'
portion. And I know about the :| repeat section feature.

tnx... Canuckteach (for now, a newbie!)

When you have the tab (the riff), use the mouse to mark (like marking text in word) the section you want to copy or cut, then when it's black, press ctrl+c or x and then click where you want it to be placed and press ctrl+v.
