Mark unfretted string “open”

For an instrument such as the Baroque lute, this feature is used to mark a bass course as unstopped—i.e. always played open like a harp string. This means that only a fret mark indicating a zero fret can be displayed.

To mark a bass course as unstopped:

1. Klikkaa viivastoa hiiren oikealla ja valitse Viivaston/stemman ominaisuudet...

2. Click on Edit String Data…

3. Check the required boxes in the Open column.
