TablEdit Manual 2.65
Clef
| |
| The third tab of the "Instrument…" dialogue allows you to set parameters for the Notation display of the current instrument.
|
| TablEdit automatically determines the most appropriate key for the module as a function of the tuning used. This is the default option and is represented by the large cross icon.
|
| By default, TablEdit displays a G clef. Nevertheless, if the tuning calls for it (for example, if you've created a bass guitar module), an F clef will be displayed. If the range of the tuning is particularly wide (as in, for instance, the case of the pre-defined tuning "Piano") it will display both G and F clefs.
|
| You can force the display of a different clef if you so desire.
|
| If, after having selected a particular clef, you wish to return to the automatic function simply select the large cross icon.
|
| Middle C is the C pitch directly below A 440. TablEdit, which was originally conceived for the guitar, displays notes an octave higher than their actual pitch. This is the reason a small 8va (octavo) is displayed beneath the clef if the corresponding option has been selected in the "Preferences" dialogue.
|
| If this convention is not applicable to the instrument you're working with, you can return to a "Standard" display. This will have the effect of lowering the position of middle C and, thus, all other notes in the score by an octave in the notation.
|
| The keyboard shorcut [Ctrl]+[+/-], when applied in the stave, allows the position of middle C (and, consequently, the position of all the notes in the stave) to be adjusted up or down an octave at a time.
|
| TablEdit automatically applies a standard middle C for certain instruments (accordeon, harmonica, flute, pedal steel guitar). In order to force the position of middle C manually, the clef must have been adjusted, i.e. the default clef should not be active.
