TablEdit Users Say:

"I've been using TablEdit for a couple of years now. As a professional musician who frequently works on scoring and arrangements of songs, TablEdit is definitely the program of choice. It is fast. It is friendly. And, it is great for working with those players who do not read traditional scoring. Further, it is a great tool for teaching young students the relationship between the neck of the guitar and the music staff. TablEdit IS the industry standard. Ask any professional. Ask any working guitarist. Ask any serious guitarist. Ask anybody who wants to get serious. And then, get serious, get TablEdit! Thanks to Matthieu, Keith and all the gang at TablEdit."
Jim Sanders - Washington, USA

The "Fonts" tab allows you to select the fonts to be used both on the screen and on your printouts.  
 
 
 
·Tablature Font (the font that will be used to display and print the tablature). The spaces between the tablature lines and the ruler graduations are determined by the size of the Tablature font so that the fret numbers are never superimposed on one another. It's important to choose a font which provides the most legible spacing. You can force a temporary change of the font used for displaying the numbers in a tablature by selecting the desired note in the tablature and then selecting {Edit}{Format...} (or right-clicking on the note) and choosing a font from the list. This also allows the selection of a contrasting background color for a particular note for emphasis. Just activate the check box marked "Stabilo" then click on the colored square and select your color.  
 
·Title and Sub-title fonts (the fonts to be used to print the header information). The Sub-title font will be used to print the name of the Author.  
 
·Small Font (the font used to display and to print the effects and the chord names above the chords).  
 
·Text Fonts (the fonts used by default to display and to print the texts). The "Text 1" font is also used to display pitch changes as the "Text 2" font is used to display grace notes.  
 
·Graphics font. The color selected for this font is also used for both the tablature and standard notation lines, repeat signs, clefs, etc...  
 
·Chord diagrams font. The color selected for this font will be used by default for painting the chord diagrams.  
 
·Tiny Font. The font used for displaying bar numbers on the ruler.  

The check box marked "Dialog Font" refers to the font you wish TablEdit to use when displaying dialog boxes, help bubbles, etc. This option is very useful if you want to use a language specific font (Japanese, Chinese, Russian, etc…)  

The time signature is always displayed and printed out using tef265.ttf. Its attributes cannot be changed.  

To change a font, double-click on the desired element in the font list (or select it with the cursor keys) then press [Return] and then select the desired typeface, style, color and point size from the font selector. You can also press the large button which display a preview of the currently selected font.
