TablEdit Users Say:
"I love this program. I have been a registered user longer than I can remember. I have tried many programs to write tab and have found TablEdit to be the most flexible and feature filled one I have used. I play bass in a band. As such, I really need to keep track of a bunch of songs. This program lets works with custom tunings, playback etc. Finally, anytime I have needed assistance, I have gotten a prompt, friendly response."

Installing the program
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/Tabledit32.
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. The package will work for viewing, printing, etc., without these.
The latest TablEdit font file (currently, tef265.ttf) must be installed in order to allow correct display and printout of musical symbols (clefs, notes, rests, codas, etc.) if you wish to make maximum use of the musical stave.
If the automatic font installation has been unsuccessful, you'll see rectangles displayed instead of the G clef and rests.
Re-installation
In order to restore all of the default parameters, simply start TablEdit while keeping the [Shift] key held down.
Uninstalling the program
Uninstalling TablEdit is even simpler. Just select "Uninstall TablEdit" from the Windows Start menu.
