TablEdit Users Say:
"I'm an amateur guitar player who enjoys Celtic music and web stuff, so I created www.celticflatpicking.com, where I put up tab now and then. I find TablEdit very good for this task. The main features I like are (i) you can enter the note in tab form or notation, which you prefer (and I switch back and forth for various reasons), (ii) you can play back what you've entered and can easily hear whether you've got it right, and (iii) it prints fine to PDF for easy uploading."

Frequently Asked Questions
During print preview and actual printing, the musical staff is loaded with garbage, such as crosses, forms symbols, hand symbols, etc. The tab part is correct.
The TEF265.ttf true type font is not properly installed. See the troubleshooting instructions on this page.
Rests do not print in tablature.
See Options - Printing.
I don't hear anything when I start the playback.
See the troubleshooting instructions on this page.
I just recently downloaded the help file. But the help window that pops up does not show any content, just the contents listing on the left, nothing on the right.
When the compiled help file (.chm) is downloaded, because it is from a foreign source, Windows 10 places a block status on it to protect you. Right click on the tabled_e.chm file, select "Properties" and check "Unblock". This allows the content to be displayed.
On Windows, the audio playback is not very realistic.
TablEdit doesn't create the sound you are hearing. TablEdit only sends MIDI instructions on what should be played: instruments, notes, their length, power and so on. It's up to the synthesizer to generate sound from these commands. The bundled Windows synthesizer, "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" is not the best... Fortunately there are alternatives. VirtualMIDISynth is a free software MIDI synthesizer that allows you to get the best from TablEdit by using high quality sound fonts. We have a video on this.
The tab and notation are so small that it is hard to read when I print them out. Does this software offers the function to change the size of the tab and notation?.
You can increase (or reduce) the print scale with the corresponding option in the Print Options dialog box.
How much does TablEdit cost?
The price as indicated in the order form: 59.97 USD or 50 € (for EC citizens).
Can I print either tab or notation alone?
See the Options - General dialog box. See also this video.
Can I print several instrument parts on the same page?
See the Options - Multitrack dialog box. See also this video.
I create tablature for 5-string banjo. If I create tab on Tabledit, can I cut and paste it onto a Word document?
You can export the print preview in various graphic formats. You can also export the tablature as a ascii or rtf file compatible with the word processors.
If I purchase TablEdit do I have to pay for upgrades to future versions of TablEdit?
Never! Your TablEdit registration entitles you to FREE UPGRADES! So you do not have to worry about the obsolescence of your version. Registering TablEdit today is actually and will remain a good investment.
I am planning on buying a new computer soon and it will have a newer version of Windows than the computer I'm currently using. When I upgrade will I have to buy a new copy of TablEdit for the new operating system?
No, you can run TablEdit on any of the currently
available versions of Windows from Windows
3.1 and higher.
(At the time of this writing, this includes
Windows 3.1, NT, 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11)
May I use my TablEdit registration key on several computers?
A single TablEdit license entitles you to install and run the registered version of TablEdit on a single computer. However, we like to think of ourselves as reasonable people... So, as long as it's for your own use, we are OK with you using TablEdit registration key to install TablEdit on several computers.
My copy of TablEdit Carbon doesn't run any longer on Mac OS 10.7+ (Lion or later). What should I do?
Just download the Intel version. This upgrade is free.
