Is there a Music Creator 5 guru in the house that can help me out?

I've just discovered the Tabulature/Fretboard feature and it looks like it should be useful. The trouble is the Staff/Stave display doesn't correspond to the Tablature. All the tab notes are notated an octave too low on the stave! This is like ledger line hell!

Now I know the the guitar is a Transposing Instrument but surely Cakewalk know this too and would enable the necessary transposition automatically (you'd think). I can't seem to find any information online to solve this.

Can anyone help me to fix this please? :(

I found this answer on the Cakewalk Forum - It works a treat so I thought I'd post it here :)

Guitar Sheet music is notated in Treble Clef but it's not true Treble Clef but rather an octave higher. You can have Sonar match regular guitar sheet music that you would buy in a store by...

Open Staff View Layout dialog box (right click in staff view and select Layout)
Under Staff Properties set Cleff = Octave-treble

No need to create a custom preset or set any transposition.
