TablEdit Users Say:
"TablEdit has been a great program. I use it primarily to document the guitar and bass riffs for the original music our band creates. It's fast, easy to use, and has a very polished, professional output (which has been a particular plus when handing over tab to new members coming on board... not only is it legible, clear, and precise, it provides a "wow" factor). The modest fee, in light of the quality of software and responsiveness of the TablEdit team, has been money well spent."

This tab contains the page layout settings for margins, header/footer size and content, etc.
Top & Bottom margins
Defines the vertical space within which objects are printed. As a general rule of layout, the bottom margin should be slightly larger than the top margin.
Left & Right margins
Defines the horizontal space within which objects are printed.
Indent
This option allows you to set the indent of the very first line of the score. To set the indent of a line following a line break, use the line break options.
Footer & Page Layout
By default, TablEdit prints the page number and the page count centered at the bottom of each page.
By default, TablEdit prints the title, the sub-title and any comments at the top of the first page with only the title and sub-title, in small characters, on the following pages. You can adapt this procedure to your own taste by simply re-defining the headers manually
To define headers and/or footers for each printed page, type the required text in the "Header" and "Footer" boxes along with the appropriate formatting codes. You can always restore the predefined values by clicking on [Default].
You can also use page macros to format the text and insert the title, sub-title, comments, etc...
You can add a page number offset (handy when putting together a book, for instance).
Formatting codes:
&n the total page count
&p the current page number
You can have TablEdit add or subtract a constant number of pages to/from the current page number. This is very handy if, for example, you're preparing a book for publication:
&n-10 (subtracts 10 from the total number of pages displayed)
&p+120 (adds 120 to the current page number)
&f the file name
&d the current date (&d for abbreviated form, &D for long form)
&i the module name (in multitrack mode, the module name is replaced by the name of each instrument
&k the capo position
&b the designed bitmap (see below)
&l text that follows this code is to be left justified
&r text that follows this code is to be right justified
&c text that follows this code is to be centered
&t the title of the song
&s the sub-title of the song
&m the comments
&1 text that follows this code is to be formatted with font #1
&2 text that follows this code is to be formatted with font #2 etc...
Please note that the codes &r, &l and &c cause a carriage return in the header. This can, in some cases, be useful. For example the string "&cfirst &csecond &cthird" will give the following result:
second
third
