{File}{Print} or [
]+[P] calls up the standard "Print" dialog so that you can choose which pages are to be printed out and the printout resolution to be used. The current module is printed out according to the parameters set in {File}{Preferences...}>Page Layout.
The "Print" dialog also provides access to the system dialog containing the controls for the installed printer. Here, you can select the printer to use, printing scale, page orientation and the paper size.
If the module selected for printout is completely empty, TablEdit will happily print out sheets of blank staves or tablature grids, depending on the setting made in {File}{Preferences...}>General. This can be very handy if you want to work things out by hand.
Line break
It can sometimes be convenient to begin a measure on a new stave or tab line. If, for example, only a few sections or licks of a specific song are recorded, the ability to start each section on a new line may be useful. This way, all sections can be saved together in one file while still keeping them separate.
You can force a line break after a specific measure by typing [K] anywhere within the measure. If you insert the character at the very last position in the measure (e.g. position 63 in a 4/4 measure), the line will be justified on the resulting printout.
When you select the line break marker and type [Enter], The dialog below allows you to produce some extra interesting effects.
Thus, you can:
- tell TablEdit to truncate the line in order to avoid an empty measure extending itself all the way over to the right-hand margin.
- force a page feed.
- instruct TablEdit to close the measure with a double upright.
- force the next line to begin with an indentation. To set an indentation for the very first line of the score, use the "First line indent" feature found in Preferences>Page Layout.
- change the printing mode into proportional or fixed and, in the latter case, to specify the number of measures per line.
Multitrack printout
TablEdit is capable of printing out several modules on the same page.
You can, for instance, choose to print out the notation from one module and the tablature from another. This can be very useful for producing a score containing an instrumental part and a vocal part.
In order to select the modules to be printed, open the "Preferences" dialog and select the "Multitrack" tab. This opens a new sub-dialog in which you can select the modules to be printed and to specify if you want to print out the notation or the tablature.
The Demo Version of TablEdit prints the text "TablEdit Version Demo" in the middle of each stave.
