Other Options
| • | Shape note notation: Shape notes are a music notation designed to facilitate congregational and community singing. Shapes are added to the note heads to help singers find pitches within major and minor scales without the use of more complex information found in key signatures on the staff. The four-shape and the seven-shape systems are available in TablEdit. |
| • | Trombone tablature: To displays a tablature for trambone. This option is toggled on/off by [ ]+[W]. It is possible to activate it by mistake. If the instrument is an accordion, this option activates the Griffschrift display mode. |
| • | Display treble strings thinner: This option allows to display treble strings with thinner lines. If the instrument is an accordion, this option causes TablEdit to use the Corgeron System to display the tablature (instead of the CADB system). |
| • | Display note names instead of fret numbers: If the tablature is visible, this option displays the note name (for example C#) instead of the fret number. If only the notation staff is visible, this option displays the note name above the staff in a colored rectangle.The color of the rectangle is determined by the colors selected in "Print Colored Notes". |
| • | Irish Way: Same as above except that the note names are displayed following the ABCD' convention. |
| • | Whole and half notes circled in tablature: Whole and half notes are displayed in the tablature inside a small circle. |
| • | Always Full Stems in Tablature: By default, in the tablature, whole and half notes have respectively no stem or only a truncated stem. This option forces a complete stem to be displayed in the tablature. If the previous option is active, the whole notes are always displayed without stem, so that they can be distinguished from the half notes. |
| • | Hide pp notes in tablature: This option allows to hide in the tablature the notes whose velocity is pp. This option allows to realize exercises. |
| • | Hide pp notes in notation: This option allows to hide in the standard notation the notes whose velocity is pp. |
| • | L.H. fingerings inside chord diagrams: Instead of displaying left hand fingerings on a line below the diagram, this option allows them to be integrated into the diagram instead of rounds. |
| • | Display dead notes as fret numbers: to display dead notes with a standard unframed fret number. |
| • | Display dead notes as Xs: Exclusive from the previous one, this option allows to display an X instead of the fret number. |
The pre-defined selections in the "Special Instrument Name Prefix" drop-down list (Dulci, Fiddle, Autoharp, Arab, Chroma, All-Key, Concertina...) allow you to assign the module a name which will cause a specific tablature display irregardless of the selected tuning (see Special instruments).
