The Fretboard pane shows you this:
The Fretboard stays in sync with the Now Time during playback and recording, and stays in sync
with the scrub time during scrubbing. The color of each note on the Fretboard is the same as the
color of the corresponding clip in the Track view. (See
“Arranging clips” on page 341 for information
about setting clip properties.)
To show/hide the Fretboard pane, click the Staff view
View menu and choose Show/Hide Fret View .
Tip: If a piano part’s left-hand and right-hand parts overlap, a split point will not correctly separate the
two parts into treble and bass staves. You may prefer to put the two parts into two separate tracks.
