Hello I am currently working on a few CDLCs that use drop b tuning, but I have no clue how to set it to drop b tuning. If anyone knows how to do this and can help me, that'd be great. :D

I think @@Nacholede has done some customs with drop B tuning, so he might be able to help more, but I think this will work:

 

When you add or edit an arrangement there is the tuning dropdown menu, and next to it is a button that's just labelled "...". In there you can manually define a new tuning, so for drop B (assuming it's C# drop B )it would be -5, -3, -3, -3, -3, -3.

 

For bass tuning the tuner has problems with tunings this low (I don't think there are such problems for guitar, but I don't play guitar, so...). You can often get around this by entering the usual tuning and then using the "Fix Low Bass Tuning" fix in the Packer/Unpacker tab of the toolkit, but you can also do it manually by setting the tuning frequency to A220 and then adding 12 (for an octave's worth of semi-tones) to the relative tunings mentioned above. That is, the tuning settings would be A220 and 7, 9, 9, 9.

 

I hope this helps!
