Question:
Tabledit reports duration errors in the a tablature
that I am working on. I don't see any problem, what
can be done about this?
Response:
Certain note duration combinations are not quite
technically correct or can sound bad when played
back in MIDI when you are using certain features
such as the triplet feel option.
Select the red note(s) and press [j], to see what
TE proposes to you.
Question:
Can TablEdit open/import tablatures that were
created by other tablature editors?
Response:
TablEdit can directly import files created with
Tabestry, Bucket O' Tab, TabRite, and tablatures in ABC,
ASCII and Wayne Cripps formats. The Mac version imports Guitar Pro and PowerTab files as well
Understandibly, not every author is willing to
share their file formats (and some change their
format radically with each new version) so TablEdit
offers a couple alternatives. First, TablEdit
supports the Rich Guitar MIDI File format. If
the program you wish to convert from supports
this format you can save/export your tablature
in the RGMF format and TablEdit can import it
directly. Second, many other tablature editors
have the ability to export/save a song to a MIDI
file with each string on it's own track or channel.
Importing such a MIDI file with the "String Deduction
of track #" or "String Deduction of channel #"
option selected.
Question:
During print preview and actual printing, the
musical staff is loaded with garbage, such as
crosses, forms symbols, hand symbols, etc. The
tab part is correct.
Response:
If
you just installed TablEdit for the first time,
restart your computer. Some versions of Windows
don't recognize a new font until you restart.
If
you have restarted then perhaps the font for the
notation had become corrupted. First, make sure
that you don't have TablEdit running. Look in
your Fonts folder inside your Windows folder for
a font called TEF265.TTF and delete it.
When
you launch TablEdit a clean copy of the font will
be installed. If this doesn't fix the problem,
restart Windows (because, again, some versions
of Windows won't see a new font until you restart.)
Instead of letting Tabledit automatically reinstall
the font file, do it manually through the "install
new font" function. Open the control panel and
the fonts folder (users have reported this is
easier to do in the "classic view" rather than
XP's new "category view"). Go to the "file" drop
down menu, and select "install new font", then
navigate to tef265.ttf in the Tabledit folder
and install.
Question:
Rests do not print.
Response:
TablEdit automatically deduces the rests from
the position and note duration in the musical
notation stave. These automatic rests are displayed
but never printed out. Only
manually inserted rests will be printed out.
The feature {Edit}{Insert}{Automatic Rests} allows
you to actually insert these rests in the tablature.
Question:
While inputting a new tab moments ago, I suddenly
received the message "unable to play Midi device"
and the sound changed from acoustic guitar to
some kind of electronic pitch. What should I do?
Response:
Just change the Midi driver in Midi
Setup to "Midi Mapper" and
everything will be OK again
Question: I don't hear anything when I start the playback.
Response: It's maybe necessary to reconfigure Windows to be able to play MIDI music.
This is what you have to do in Windows XP (the procedure may vary in other Windows versions but will be similar):
- Click on the Start menu in your task bar and select Settings-Control Panel.
Then double-click on the Sounds and Multimedia (the actual title of the applet may vary depending on your Windows version) applet icon.
- This will open the Sounds and Multimedia Properties dialog. Select the Audio tab.
- Click on [Volume] in the Playback portion of the dialog in order to display the Playback Control panel.
- If the Mute check box for "Synth SW" is checked, uncheck it.
Question:
The tab and notation are so small that it is hard
to read when I print them out. Does this software
offers the function to change the size of the
tab and notation?.
Response:
You can increase the print scale with the corresponding
option in the Print
Options dialog box.
Question:
How much does TablEdit cost?
Response:
The price is in the order
form order.txt (included in the zip file):
$59.97 US or 50 Euros (for EC citizens).
Question:
Can I print either tab or notation alone?
Response:
Check the "Multitrack" check box in Options - General See the Options - Multitrack dialog box.

Question:
I am planning on buying a new computer soon
and it will have a newer version of Windows
than the computer I'm currently using. When
I upgrade will I have to buy a new copy of
TablEdit for the new operating system?

No, you can run TablEdit on any of the currenly
available versions of Windows from Windows
3.1 and higher.
(At the time of this writing, this includes
Windows 3.1, NT, 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP and Vista.)
