The View Menu
This provides easy menu access to the various "View" scales which control the display width of measures on your monitor screen. It also allows you to select which palettes and other tools you wish to have displayed in your working area.
Scale to 1/8th...1/64th Notes
There are four viewing scales available from the {View} menu:
 | Scale to 1/8 Notes |
| Scale to 1/16 Notes (default) |
| Scale to 1/32 Notes |
| Scale to 1/64th Notes |
The scales are based on the interval of the notes so that viewing and editing (with TablEdit Editor) can be done more easily. For example, you will have difficulty viewing 1/32nd notes when shown in the "Scale to 1/8 Notes" view, but selecting "Scale to 1/32 Notes" will allow you to view 1/32nd notes very easily.
These viewing modes can be reached from the {View} menu or by clicking on the small icon at the extreme left end of the ruler.
The four items in this section of the menu represent the "View" modes available to you. 1/8th note mode will give you the maximum number of measures on your screen but can be a little tight to work with as the various symbols may have a tendency to overlap. 1/16th note mode (which is the default setting) displays fewer measures on the screen but, at the same time, gives you a little more elbow room.
Palette
TablEdit provides you with a "Palette" which gives you on-screen access to a wide variety of the features of the program. You can also use the command Preferences->Screen.
Markers & Ruler
Displays or hides the markers in the tablature and the moveable ruler.
{View>Fingerboard} opens an auxilliary window which is by default displayed along the right-hand side of the main screen. This represents the fingerboard (fretboard) of the instrument. You can have it displayed horizontally by anchoring its window at either the top or bottom of the main screen or by selecting the appropriate screen in Preferences->Screen. You can toggle the display on and off using the keyboard shortcut [
]+[B]. To modify the width of the fingerboard, select one of its borders and drag it to re-size it to your desired size.
While MIDI playback, TablEdit displays fingerings on the fret board in real time.
When the MIDI playback is not in progress, TablEdit displays the fingerings used within the current selection (if you have selected multiple notes).
If the instrument is a concertina or an accordion, TablEdit displays the keyboard of the instrument.
Note: If you dock the fingerboard onto the left side of the screen, the display will show a left handed instrument.
Zoom
This function allows you to change the zoom factor of the edit window.
The slider at the bottom right of the screen allows you to perform the same operation with the mouse. If your computer has a trackpad, you can reduce or enlarge the zoom by pinching or spreading two fingers.
The Module List
The last item of this menu is a list of all the modules in the current tablature. The module names correspond, by default, to the instrument selected for each module. This can be altered to any name of your choice (e.g. "First guitar", "Second guitar", etc.) in {Score}{Instrument...}.
