TablEdit Users Say:
"My banjo instructor asked me why I re-enter his handwritten tablature into TablEdit. There are a bunch of reasons: 1) it is legible!, 2) I can hear the piece played correctly anytime I need a review, 3) I can play it at gradually increasing speeds to help me master it, 4) I can designate measures to loop so I can learn that tricky lick, 5) I can add a guitar accompaniment to help me get ready for jams, and 6) I have it on my computer so I don't have to worry about losing it. I also use TablEdit to work out my own arrangements and to improve them as I learn new skills. A powerful tool -- easy to learn -- and a great aid to anyone learning one of the stringed instruments. And here's another little hint: I print my tabs on card stock so they are easier to handle."

Installing the program
To install TablEdit, you'll need to unpack the SIT file and place its component files on your hard drive. Unstuff the .sit archive into a folder of it's own (using Stuffit Expander 5.0+) and copy the TEF265.TTF True Type Font into the "\users\your name\Library\Fonts" folder.
To run the shareware version of the program, double click on TablEdit Application in the Finder, or create an alias on the Desktop. No specific installation routine is required. The toolbar icons and the tool palettes in the main Tabledit window are very useful, as is this help file, for guiding you in the use of the software.
Keep in mind that the TablEdit Demo is a demo package with certain critical limitations. You can open and play a .tef file 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 are done listening to it. The demo version only saves 16 measures of tab, so you'll lose most of what you downloaded. If you want to print the file, go ahead and explore the page options available, tab or notation only, tab and musical stave, with or without chord diagrams, etc.
Re-installation
In order to restore all of the default parameters, simply start TablEdit while keeping the [alt] key held down.
