Larry's Tutorial
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 were created using program version 2.65 d7. Some frames will appear slightly different on other versions. They are best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher. Although the tutorials were created using the Windows version of TablEdit, the basic concepts demonstrated apply to all OS versions (Mac, IOS, Android, etc.).
