Export ABC
A number of the parameters used by the Export ASCII function are also to be found here.
Export to:
By default TablEdit creates a file using the current tef file and changing its extension from .tef to .abc. However, you can specify a different file.
[File] allows you to specify the destination ABC file.
Page width
This first parameter defines the maximum line length, expressed as a number of characters, of the ABC file. A value smaller than 80 is recommended
From measure ... To measure
Allows you to define the measures to be exported. The Reading List is always exported.
Append to end of file
This parameter is important and is selected by default. It allows you to include multiple compositions in a single ABC file.
the ABC files exported by TablEdit are highly simplified compared to the original tablature. Tied notes are not taken into account. Differing note durations within a single chord are not noted. This is due to limitations in the ABC format, which doesn't lend itself very well to polyphonic music.
