TablEdit Users Say:

"I have played banjo for 25 years. I have taught for the past 5. I use nothing but the TablEdit program for my students. I give the a copy of the Free Viewer. I then give them disk with files of the excerises and songs we are working on. They also get a hard copy on paper. The program is great! I write all my own lessons. I put bass and guitar modules with the banjo module. I show them how to turn the banjo down or even off and let the program play rythem for them. I also show them how to slow it down and speed it up so they can practice their timimg and also increase their speed! It lets the student know exactly how the song it played and what is is suppose to sound like. Great for working on timing. I just wish I would have had this program 25 years ago when I started playing! I encourage all students to use this valuable tool."

These tutorials have been developed to demonstrate how publisher quality scores can be created using TablEdit notation and tablature editor. The tutorials have a three-fold purpose:

 
Identify the notation elements necessary to qualify as publisher quality.  
 
Present an efficient approach for creating a complete score.  
 
Integrate in an orderly sequence the major features of TablEdit used to create a publisher quality score.  

When completed, you should have developed a method for creating scores that best meets your approach to using the keyboard and mouse. Several alternatives are presented. In addition, the tutorials provide a handy reference on how TablEdit features are used. Below is a quick reference of the tutorial topics.

The tutorials are best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher.
