Installation

Installing the program

To install TablEdit, you'll need to mount tableditcarbon.dmg.

Then move the TablEdit sub-folder into your Applications folder and copy the TEF265.TTF True Type Font into the "\users\your name\Library\Fonts" folder. If you are running OSX Leopard or later, this operation is useless: you can leave the font in the folder where TablEdit is installed.

To run the the program, double click on TablEdit application in the Finder, or create an alias on the Desktop. No specific installation routine is required. If you are running OSX Snow Leopard or later, you will have to install Rosetta if it is not already installed. Rosetta dynamically translates TablEdit Carbon - which is a PowerPC application - to work with your Intel based Mac.

Keep in mind that the TablEdit Carbon Demo is a demo package with certain critical limitations. You can open and play a .tef file and modify the MIDI options to alter the sound you hear when you play the music, but DO NOT try to "re-save" the file when you are done listening to it. The demo version only saves 16 measures of tab, so you'll lose most of what you downloaded. If you want to print the file, go ahead and explore the page options available, tab or notation only, tab and musical stave, with or without chord diagrams, etc.

Re-installation and troubleshooting

In order to restore all of the default parameters, simply start TablEdit while keeping the [alt] key held down.

The {TablEdit Carbon]{About TablEdit} displays an alert box containing information concerning the version of TablEdit being used and the name of the registered user. Clicking on the "red cross" icon at the top-right corner of the Dialog allows you to get the critical information about your TablEdit version. Then you will be able to send a documented bug report to your correspondent if you have any difficulties with TablEdit.

Uninstalling the program

Uninstalling TablEdit is even simpler. Just move the TablEdit sub-folder into the trash.
