TablEdit Users Say:
"I have been playing guitar for 20 years but I just don't take the time to really practice. It takes me a long time to learn a song and TablEdit not only displays the tabs and finger positions, it plays the song so I can hear what the song sounds like. So someday when I have lots of free time, I will have all the material I need to further my musical hobby."

Starting with TablEdit for Windows
W31, W95, W98, ME, W2000, NT, XP, Vista
To install TablEdit, you'll need to run the tabled32.exe distribution file. This distribution file is a self-extracting archive and when you run it, TablEdit will be installed in a directory (or folder) called by default Program Files/Tabledit.
Keep in mind that this is a demo package with certain critical limitations. Namely, you can open and play *.tef files and modify the MIDI options to alter the sound you hear when you play the music but do not try to "re-save" the file when you're done listening to it. The demo version only saves 16 measures of tab, so you will lose most of what you had already downloaded. If you want to print the file, go ahead and explore the page options available, tab only, tab + musical stave, with or without chord diagrams, etc.
We are assuming, of course, that you have a sound card and speakers hooked up to your PC. Nonetheless, the package will work for viewing, printing, etc., without these.
The latest TablEdit True Type font file (tef265.ttf) is automatically installed at first-time installation of the program in order to allow correct display and printout of musical symbols (clefs, notes, rests, codas, etc.).
If the automatic font installation has been unsuccessful you'll see rectangles displayed instead of the G clef and rests. If this is the case, use the Windows configuration panel to install the font manually. Users of W95/98 and higher can simply copy tef265.ttf to C:\\Windows\fonts (if you are authorized by the system administrator to do so). The system will then recognize the font automatically.
Tip: In order to restore all of the default parameters, simply start TablEdit while keeping the [shift] key held down.
Starting with TablEdit for Macintosh
- Download the Demo version of TablEdit for Macintosh and save it to your hard disk.
- If you downloaded the compressed archive (.sit), unstuff it into a folder of it's own using StuffIt Expander (freeware).
- Copy the tef265.ttf file into the "\users\your name\Library\Fonts" folder.
- LaunchTablEdit Demo (double click on it).
Starting with TablEdit for Pocket PC
- Download the Demo version of Pocket TablEdit (pockettedemo.zip) and save it to your hard disk.
- Unzip pockettedemo.zip.
- Download pockette.arm.cab on your PDA.
- Back on your PDA, locate pockette.arm (the .cab extension is hidden) and run it. This will install PocketTE to the newly created "Program Files/PocketTE" directory and create a shortcut to PocketTE in the "Programs" screen.
