In some hymnal music, each note of the scale has its own notehead, regardless of key. In Tamburo, noteheads for these “shape notes” are found on the number keys 1 through 9. To set up the staff for Note Shapes, click on the Staff tool and double click the staff to open the Staff Attributes dialog box. Click the Settings button next to Use Note Shapes. See Note Shapes dialog box for more information. You can also use the Shape Note Hymnal template. See Working with Templates. Each number corresponds to the appropriate scale tone—the tonic shape note is found on 1, the second shape note on 2, and so on. Since some shape note conventions differ, we offer two choices for the fourth scale degree, one shape on 4 and the other on 9.
