Installation

To install TablEdit, you'll need to run the tabled32.exe distribution file. This distribution file is a self-extracting archive and when you run it, TablEdit will be installed in a directory (or folder) called by default Program Files (x86)/Tabledit.

The latest TablEdit font file (currently, Tef265_2.ttf) must be installed in order to allow correct display and printout of musical symbols (clefs, notes, rests, codas, etc.).

If the automatic font installation has been unsuccessful, you'll see various shapes displayed instead of musical symbols.

How to install the TablEdit True Type font If you just installed the product for the first time, restart your computer. Some versions of Windows don't recognize a new font until you restart.
If you have already restarted your computer then perhaps the font for the notation had become corrupted. Uninstall the software and reinstall it.
You can also install the font manually:
Navigate to tef265_2.ttf in the c:\program files (x86)\Tabledit folder. Right click on the font file and select Install.

Keep in mind that Tabledit Demo is a demo package with certain critical limitations. Namely, you can open and play *.tef files and modify the MIDI options to alter the sound you hear when you play the music but do not try to "re-save" the file when you're done listening to it. The demo version only saves 16 measures of tab, so you will lose most of what you had already downloaded. If you want to print the file, go ahead and explore the page options available, tab only, tab + musical stave, notation only, with or without chord diagrams, etc.

Re-installation and troubleshooting

In order to restore all of the default parameters, simply start TablEdit while keeping the [] key held down.
