When i press on the Tap note (he opens note) BUT i cant write yet, i have to press again in the note. why cant you just understand that i want to write in first place? ;D

Michael Sinanian (ID: 000000c7a3433f4c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/02/2014 This extension is a game-changer. I often load tabs with the intention of acting on them later, but I'd like to leave a small note about what that is. Until Tab Notes, there was no way to do this. Now Tab Notes has solved that problem beautifully!
