This provides easy menu access to the various "View" scales which control the display width of measures on your monitor screen. It also allows you to select which palettes and other tools you wish to have displayed in your working area.

| Scale to 1/8th...1/64th Notes
|
| The four items in this section of the menu represent the "View" modes available to you. 1/8th note mode will give you the maximum number of measures on your screen but can be a little tight to work with as the various symbols may have a tendency to overlap. 1/16th note mode (which is the default setting) displays fewer measures on the screen but, at the same time, gives you a little more elbow room. I (Tom) tend to use 1/32nd note mode. This gives me two full measures per screen at a resolution of 1024x768 on a 15" screen or three measures at 1280x1024 on a 19" screen. For very detailed work requiring, for example, 1/32nd note septuplets you must use 1/64th Note mode. This mode is available only from the menu or the ruler. The first three modes mentioned above can also be accessed via the keyboard shortcuts [F7...F9].

| TablEdit provides you with a series of "Palettes" giving you on-screen access to a wide variety of the features of the program.
|
| {Display}{Fingerboard} opens a secondary window placed, by default, on the right-hand side of the screen. This represents the fingerboard of the instrument. Although the initial display is, by default, vertical, the fingerboard can also be dragged and docked onto another side of the screen. You can also also change its orientation with the Screen Options dialog. [Ctrl]+[B] shows/hides the Fingerboard.
|
| If a capo has been assigned to the instrument in the current module, it will be displayed at the assigned fret position.
|
| If you dock the fingerboard onto the left side of the screen, the display will show a left handed instrument.
| |
| This window displays the measures of the various modules as rows of small buttons. These, in turn, contain a green rectangle if the measure represented contains at least one note.
|
| Currently selected measures are shown as pressed buttons.
|
| Clicking on one of these buttons will immediately move the screen display to the measure and module it represents.
|
| This command opens an small secondary window that displays the current and following measures as they will be printed. This allows you to test instantaneously the result of the changes you make to your tablature.
| |
| The last item is a list of all the modules in the current tablature. The module names correspond, by default, to the instrument selected for each module. This can be altered to any name of your choice (e.g. "First guitar", "Second guitar", etc.) in {Score}{Instrument...}.
