TablEdit Users Say:
"I play in a blues rock band as the bassist. We started doing covers, then adding and adapting bits, and now do some of our own writing. TablEdit is very useful for this, cos I can work out a bass line, then tab it, then tweak it and then either record it, or post it to the rest of the band. Again the TablEdit conversion ability comes in useful, cos I still can't read or write standard notation, whilst the guitarist and the keyboard player, who were professionally taught, don't have much to do with tab. TablEdit gives us a way of swapping ideas, presented in a fashion that we can all understand."

Windows Help
This provides easy menu access to the various "View" modes which control the display width of measures on your monitor screen. It also allows you to select which palettes and other tools you wish to have displayed in your working area.
Scale to 1/8th...1/64th Notes
The four items in this section of the menu represent the "View" modes available to you. 1/8th Note mode will give you the maximum number of measures on your screen but can be a little tight to work with as the various symbols may have a tendency to overlap. 1/16th Note mode (which is the default setting) displays fewer measures on the screen but, at the same time, gives you a little more elbow room. For very detailed work requiring, for example, 1/32nd note septuplets you must use 1/64th Note mode.
Palettes
TablEdit provides you with a series of "Palettes" which give you on-screen access to a wide variety of the features of the program.
Fingerboard
{Display}{Fingerboard} opens a secondary window placed, by default, on the right-hand side of the screen. This represents the fingerboard of the instrument. Although the initial display is, by default, vertical, the fingerboard can also be displayed horizontally by simply clicking {Display}{Fingerboard} a second time. This operation can also be performed using the keyboard shortcut [
]+[B]. This will cycle the display through vertical to horizontal to no display.
If a capo has been assigned to the instrument in the current module, it will be displayed at the assigned fret position.
