H.A. guitar tablature has an option to show the tuning of the strings. This can be useful to show variations in tuning (such as "dropped D"),
or for a player uncertain with the location of notes, or for a composer/arranger who is unfamiliar with the instrument to see what notes can feasibly be played together.
Guitar notation belongs to a group of instruments assumed to be octave-transposing, but by tradition is not explicitly stated.
Harmony Assistant handles this unstated transposition, but unfortunately this causes the wrong octaves to be printed on the tablature.
H.A. itself shows the contradiction (yellow Help window, below).
I have created a .nck (neck) file that corrects this and allows the octava bassa to be explicitly shown.

La tablature de guitare a une option pour montrer le diapason des cordes. Cela peut être utile pour montrer des variations dans l'accordage,
ou pour un joueur incertain quant à l'emplacement des notes, ou pour un compositeur / arrangeur qui n'est pas familier avec l'instrument, pour voir quelles notes peuvent être joués ensemble.
La notation de guitare appartient à un groupe d'instruments supposés être octave-transposant, mais par tradition n'est pas explicitement énoncée.
Harmony Assistant gère cette transposition non-déclarée, mais malheureusement cela provoque les mauvaises octaves à imprimer sur la tablature.
(H.A. lui-même montre la contradiction: fenêtre d'aide jaune, ci-dessous).
J'ai créé un fichier .nck (l'anglais "neck" = col) qui corrige cela et permet à l'octava bassa d'être explicitement montré.

I had changed the settings used to calculate the tablature (apparently, not for the better  ) ...
Checking the results, I found some impossible fingering (below) …
There is no button to reset the tablature calculation settings to the original default … in any case, I did not want to re-calculate all the manual changes I had already made.
The remedy was to open a new tablature (with default settings) File > New > Solo > Guitar > Staff + Guitar Tablature ,
copy the faulty section into the new file and then paste the result over the original.
The impossible fingering of bar 3 remained (frets 5 and 15 together, requiring very long fingers!)
This had been caused by the addition of a second voice, re-inforcing the same high note in bar 2 (after the glissando).
The remedy was to delete the duplicated note, delete the blue note in bar 3, then manually change the "fret 5" tablature to string 2 fret 10 (right-click on the figure 5).
Finally, add the deleted note (D).

Here is the correlation between notes and frets/strings in Priority to tabulation mode.
First, press the shortcut key to select the note duration.
Second, press the Numeric Keyboard number (0-9)* to select the required fret.
Third, click on the required string on the tablature staff.
*To select fret 10, press 9* ; for fret 12, press 9***.
Voici la corrélation entre les notes et les cases/cordes en mode Tablature prioritaire.
Tout d'abord, appuyez sur la touche de raccourci pour sélectionner la durée de la note.
Deuxièmement, utilisez le clavier pavé pour sélectionner la case requise (0-9) .
Troisièmement, cliquez sur la corde requise sur la portée de tablature.[sup]
