# Moving Note Entries in the Tablature

As guitarists know, notes appear in multiple places on the fretboard. When you drop a note entry, the chosen string location on the tablature may not match how the song is actually played.

#### To change the string for a note entry

- Hold the option key while clicking on an existing note entry to change the entry's string to a lower position.
- Hold both the shift and option keys while clicking an existing note entry to change the entry's string to a higher position.
- Right-click on a note entry to reveal a menu for selecting the string position directly.
