#TABLEDIT GUITAR TABS MOD#
My most recent mod to this was adding a line for chords as Nashville numbers, in addition to the line for letter-named chords. Kristen, here's how I do my handmade tab, laboriously crafted in my page layout app I'm very fluent at, QuarkXPress. Maybe he can make some of these additional options available. ((I used to do this with an excel spreadsheet for handwriting my tabs.)) This also would be good for many strings. In this way I would be able to know what strings the tab was being played on by referencing the contrast in the strings "thickness". To be able to select one or two "key strings" (like 4 and 8 for example)and be able to make them a tiny bit thicker or bolder than the rest. Its even more difficult when playing a 12 string pedal steel.

It makes it easier to identify what strings the notation is on when playing tab located in the center of the page on a 10 string instrument. It would be nice is to have the string numbers appear on both sides of the page for each tab line. So in writing to the author of the program, in addition to putting the string number, the tab notation and the pedal label directly on the tab line, I mentioned a few other options that would be nice to have, at least for me. I noticed that the lap steel tab puts the tab notation directly on the strings (that's good!)

I will see if he responds to this request.ĭoes anyone else prefer a tab "on the strings" or is it just me? I am going to respond telling him that some people like it between the tab lines and some (like me) prefer the tab directly on the strings. That's why I made it mandatory, but it can be made just a default value." "I had understood that the display between the lines was a universally respected convention. I responded to the maker of the program, and he responded saying

So in the meantime I am working with what I got. In this case the option worked fine, with tab either "on the strings" or between the strings". Just as a test, I made a new file for a 4 string bass. The tab is still between the strings, not on the strings. I tried the "File"> "Options"> "General" and "Tablature Presentation" selection as -0-3-3"
#TABLEDIT GUITAR TABS FULL VERSION#
So i went ahead and put in some tab.Īlso decided to get the full version so I don't have demo anymore. "Technology has given us the ability to repeat all the mistakes we have learned from history, but much faster, deadlier and with much greater accuracy" - KAB Hoping for some good advise,(and not that I need stronger reading glasses) I need to enlarge them as well.ģ) Is it possible to print the tab directly on the tab lines line instead of between the tab lines?Ĥ) Is there a midi instrument that you would recommend to play the tab gently to my ears instead of a hard hitting piano sound?
#TABLEDIT GUITAR TABS HOW TO#
Does anyone know how to do this?Ģ) Also, the Title, the string numbers (to the left of the tab lines), and also the numbers above each bar are also microscopic. But the pedal names next to the fret numbers are "microscopic" and I can't figure out how to enlarge them to be near the size of the fret numbers. This is my experience.ġ) As mentioned, I was able to expand the distance between the tab lines for a larger font, and was able to enlarge the font of the fret numbers and add the pedal names (A,B,C etc) next to these numbers. In the print preview area I was able to "enlarge" the "string number" fonts and the distance between the tab lines to keep them in proportion.īefore trying to print out my masterpiece, I tried making some adjustments to the print preview area. I have pressed the play button and it correctly played what I have notated. I have been able to "do a right click" (pitch change) to insert the pedal name next to the (fret numbers). Playing around with it I have made a few bars of a simple harmonized scale to get familiar with the program. I have downloaded the Tabledit demo and have configured it to my E9 PSG.
