TablEdit Users Say:

"I play both mandolin and guitar and have broad musical interests--bluegrass, blues, country, gospel, etc--and have found it supportive of all my interests. TablEdit provides very useful tools for creating tablature for music I transcribe or write and am grateful for the existence of such an effective but inexpensive aid."
Derek E. Iverson - Washington, USA

The default note value in TablEdit is fff.  
 
This value can be changed in {Notes}{Dynamics} or by using the "Dynamics" palette. The new value is applied to the note or block of notes selected in the tablature.  
 
To increase the value of selected note(s) without changing the pre-selected general dynamic level, press [ ) ]. To decrease the level press [ ( ].  
 
A display option allows you to display the dynamics markings beside the notes in the stave. The display can also be toggled on/off by pressing [V].  
 
The last dynamics operation performed can be repeated on a new selection by pressing [F3].  
 
Notes with a value of ppp are displayed on screen but are never printed out in either tablature or stave (except in cases where they're used to define the limits of a bend and the printing options "Tied notes in Tablature" and "Dotted notes in Tablature" have been selected.  
 
The dynamic value of the currently selected note is displayed in the "Dynamics" palette with a mauve colored frame.  
 
A detailed discussion of the use of dynamics in tablature writing is to be found in the tutorial chapter "Using Dynamics".  
 
Tip: see tips.tef for some hints about the use of dynamics parameters.
