TablEdit Users Say:

"I personally use the program for myself in that I play the tenor, Plectrum, and 5 string banjo, so I can record a particular song on a Midi recorder using the tenor banjo, then slide the midi recording into my TablEdit file, put the song into a G tuning 5 string Banjo with a Bass and Guitar for back up and, all in tab, with full sound. Or if necessary, change the tempo, pitch, or key. This is fantastic, and I personally recommend this program for beginners, future musicians as well as old timers like myself, who have been around in excess of 40 years. I find that the help required for this program is top line. You have a problem, it is answered very profesionally and Fast, and that is something that we all will appreciate."

TablEdit Manual v2.65

The Play Menu

Previous  Top  Next Help Map Windows Help   Play      Pause   Stop   Repeat   Relative Speed...   Metronome...   Reading List...   R   MIDI Options...   K   The items in this menu contain the controls having to do with the playback of tablatures. In addition, it provides access to the Reading List which controls the playback order of the different sections of a tune. It also contains several functions designed to be of assistance when learning new tunes.     Play > This measure only   Selection only   From this measure   From this position   All   This item opens a sub-menu allowing you to select which portion of the current tablature is to be played back.       The "This measure only" item (or its shortcut [F10]) plays only the measure in which the cursor is currently located.   "Selection only" (or [Shift]+[F10]) plays back a selected block of notes. No limitation is imposed on the size of the block.   "From this measure" (or its shortcut [F11]) plays from the measure containing the cursor up to and including the final measure of the tablature. No account is taken of repeats included in the "Reading List". The latter contains a specific function for this type of playback.   "From this position" (or its shortcut [Shift]+[F11]) functions in the same way as "From this measure" (see above) except that the playback begins from the exact cursor position rather than the beginning of the measure.   The final item, "All", plays back the entire tablature (including all repeats, da Signos, etc) from first to final measure no matter where the cursor is located when the item is selected.     Pause   This does pretty much what you would expect it to do. Selecting this item or pressing [Pause] or clicking on the button of the same name will pause playback. Selecting the item (or pressing [Pause]) a second time restarts playback from the point where it was paused.   Stop Immediately stops MIDI playback. Playback can be resumed by re-selecting "Play" from the menu, pressing the "Play" button or pressing [Space bar].   Repeat   "Loops" the tablature for continuous replay. Relative speed... This function allows you to vary the playback speed of a piece in percentual increments of your own choosing. Eventual tempo changes within the tablature are automatically converted. The converted tempo change is displayed for informational purposes, only. This allows you to learn a tune more comfortably. TablEdit also allows you to select specific measures to repeat. If the "Increased speed" option has been selected, the playback tempo is increased at each repetition until it reaches the percentual limit shown in the "Up to:" field. Metronome... This simple dialog provides you with a metronome to mark time. There are three settings that can be made here.   "Volume" allows you to set the MIDI volume for the metronome.   The "Patch" popup menu allows you to select the sound to be used for it from the list of percussion instruments supported by your sound card.   The final item is the "Metronome only for one measure" check box. If this is selected, TablEdit will provide you with the metronome beat for the duration of one measure before actually beginning playback of the tablature. Reading List...   Selecting this item opens the "Reading List" dialog. MIDI Options... Selecting this option opens the dialog of the same name. This where you make the basic MIDI settings to be used for your tablatures.
