TEFview Import Image

This exclusive function allows you to import score images into TEFview.

TEFview only imports the fret numbers from the tablature. The possible notation staff is ignored but can be used to locate the rhythm if the tablature does not contain note stems.

Depending on the number of lines per system, TEFview creates a tablature for dulcimer, mandolin, banjo or guitar.

TEFview automatically adapts to the tablature, whether the figures are crossed by the line or not, whether the figures are straddling the line or above it.

To change the file from the dialog box, use the "File..." button .

TEFview handles all graphic files (png, jpeg, tif, gif, bmp) . To import a pdf file, you need to make a screenshot of each page, save it to a file or paste the screenshot using the Paste button tb_paste. You can avoid this procedure by installing Ghostscript. In this case TEFview will ask you the first time to tell it where the gswin32c.exe or gswin64c.exe command is located (for example in C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.55.0\bin\). TEFview asks Ghostscript to create as many image files as there are pages in the pdf. The files are created in the directory C:\Users\You\TablEdit\Tmp. They are then recognized each after another one and destroyed when the dialog is closed.

Time Signature

TEFview does not recognize the time signature. You must therefore indicate the rhythm of the tablature to be imported if it is not 4/4

Sensibility

By default 10, this parameter defines the sensitivity of the recognition engine. Some serif fonts require to increase value of parameter from 12 to 14. Some files that use a sans serif font will be better off with a value of 7 or 8.

To bar

The first bar into which TEFview will insert the recognized notes. All bars following the destination bar will be deleted just before recognition. This parameter is particularly useful when importing several pages in a row.

Scan

Allows you to specify that the image is the result of a scan and that the lines are not necessarily regular and horizontal.
