This has probably been answered before but I can't seem to find an answer.

 

I'm trying to highlight more than 4 frets on the hand positions for a tapping section and can't seem to find how.

 

Basically here's how the section looks like:

 

13 - 17 - 22 - 17 - 13

 

------h----T-----p----p

 

Should be highlighted from 13 to 22

Just set the FHP to 13 for that entire section. Should look something like this

when you view Hand Pos (in game, frets 11 to 20 will be highlighted for that entire region. A new section begins at measure 109 which is why I redefine the FHP there.

Oh okey thanks, I thought there was something to set for that.

At the very least I think you'll have to manually author/edit the fret hand positions. For example, if during the entire span of that tapping section you have only one FHP at fret 13, EOF will define the width of that position (labeled as an "anchor" in the XML) as being 10 frets. As far as I can remember, that should get the desired effect. I think the game had a tapping type of section or something, but I never did get around to adding any specific authoring feature for it in EOF.
