View notation for a lesson in GarageBand on Mac
You can view the notation for a lesson in a full-screen, two-page view, like a music book or “lead sheet.” In a guitar lesson, full-page view shows standard music notation and tablature; in a piano lesson, it shows both the treble and bass clefs.
While the lesson is playing, the pages automatically advance. When the playhead reaches the end of the left-hand page, the right-hand page moves to the left, and a new page appears on the right.
Turn on full-page notation
In GarageBand on Mac, click the Notation View button in the upper-right corner of the lesson window, then choose Full Page from the pop-up menu.
Choosing full-page notation hides the video area and animated fretboard or keyboard. The control bar and the Setup, Mixer, and Tuner buttons are still available. Full-page notation is available in the Play and Practice chapters of a lesson, but not the Learn chapter.
Change pages while playback is stopped
In GarageBand on Mac, click the left or right arrow on either side of the full-page view.
