TablEdit Users Say:
"This is a very cool program. I play the Dobro and use it to record licks and I use it for writing music for the piano or keyboard. I used to make out notation sheets and write out my ideas by hand but this is much easier and neater. I highly recommend the program."

| {File}{Print} or [Ctrl]+[P] calls up the standard Windows "Print" dialog so that you can choose which pages are to be printed out and the printout resolution to be used. The current module is printed out according to the parameters set in {File}{Options...}>Page Layout.
|
| The "Print" dialog also provides access to the system dialog containing the controls for the installed printer. Here, you can select the printer to use, page orientation and the paper size.
|
| Selecting this or the Print Preview option with an extended selection activated, the radio button labeled "Selection" is automatically switched on. This means that only the selected measures will be printed out.
|
| You can also invoke the "Printer Configuration" dialog belonging to Windows or to the software which came with your printer. This will allow you to change printers or to alter the printer configuration as concerns page orientation (portrait/landscape) or to use printer specific options.
|
| The "Print to File" option included in the above mentioned dialog can be particularly useful. If this is selected, TablEdit will save the requested printout as a *.prn file which can be transferred to and printed out on a system without TablEdit installed. The file can also be used with connection with other utility software such as, for example, Ghostscript in order to create a *.jpg image or an Adobe Acrobat compatible document.
|
| It can sometimes be convenient to begin a measure on a new stave or tab line. If, for example, only a few sections or licks of a specific song are recorded, the ability to start each section on a new line may be useful. This way, all sections can be saved together in one file while still keeping them separate.
|
| In order to send a line feed command to your printer, place the cursor anywhere within the last measure of the section and press [K] in order to insert a line feed symbol. If you wish the line to be justified full out (even left and right margins), insert the marker at the last position of the measure (position 63 in a 4/4 measure, for example)
|
| If you select the line feed marker and then press [Enter/Return], a dialogue box is displayed, allowing you to add other effects to the line feed.
|
| 
|
| - | tell TablEdit to truncate the line in order to avoid an empty measure extending itself all the way over to the right-hand margin.
|
| - | instruct TablEdit to close the measure with a double upright.
|
| - | force the next line to begin with an indentation. To set an indentation for the very first line of the score, use the First line indent feature found in Options>Page Layout.
|
| - | change the printing mode into proportional or fixed and, in the latter case, to specify the number of measures per line.
|
| If the module selected for printout is completely empty, TablEdit will happily print out sheets of blank staves or tablature grids, depending on the setting made in {File}{Options...}>General. This can be very handy if you want to work things out by hand.
|
| TablEdit is capable of printing out several modules on the same page.
|
| You can, for instance, choose to print out the notation from one module and the tablature from another. This can be very useful for producing a score containing an instrumental part and a vocal part.
|
| In order to select the modules to be printed, open the "Options" dialog and select the "Multitrack" tab. This opens a new sub-dialog in which you can select the modules to be printed and to specify if you want to print out the notation and/or the tablature.
|
| The Demo Version of TablEdit prints the text "TablEdit Version Demo" in the middle of each stave.
