TablEdit Users Say:
"I have been playing guitar for 20 years but I just don't take the time to really practice. It takes me a long time to learn a song and TablEdit not only displays the tabs and finger positions, it plays the song so I can hear what the song sounds like. So someday when I have lots of free time, I will have all the material I need to further my musical hobby."

The default note value in TablEdit is fff.
This value can be changed in {Notes}{Dynamics} or by using the Dynamics palette. The new value is applied to the note or block of notes selected in the tablature.
To increase the value of selected note(s) without changing the pre-selected general dynamic level, press [ ) ]. To decrease the level press [ ( ].
A display option allows you to display the dynamics markings beside the notes in the stave. The display can also be toggled on/off by pressing [V].
Notes with a value of ppp are displayed on screen but are never printed out in either tablature or stave (except in cases where they're used to define the limits of a bend and the printing options "Tied notes in Tablature" and "Dotted notes in Tablature" have been selected.
The dynamic value of the currently selected note is displayed in the Dynamics palette with a mauve colored frame.
Tip: see tips.tef for some hints about the use of dynamics parameters.
