While playing a song, you can bring up a few options, on a separate window, to change the playback speed, tempo, loop the song and make other adjustments. ![]() Originally, the application was made for fretted, stringed instruments, like the mandolin, bass or banjo, but it provides support for other instruments as well, like the harmonica, Anglo-Irish concertina and more. It is possible to select different instruments and make various adjustments, on a separate window. A tablature may include several instruments and you can view their notes on separate pages. While a file is being loaded, you can switch between different pages, on the same window, if you wish to view the musical notes for other instruments. The music can be played from the beginning or from a point of your choice. You can move the ruler up and down, on the same window and select a few options, located on a toolbar, to load tablatures, play or print them and more. The software's interface displays a series of blank musical staves. Besides that, the application can be installed in no time and it is compatible with all Windows versions, from Win 95 up to Windows 8. The good news is that you can find vast libraries on the Internet, which include such files. This means that TEFview is compatible only with files in TablEdit's proprietary format. TEFview is a simplified version of TablEdit, an application for creating and editing sheet music. The software allows you to choose from a wide variety of instruments and make numerous settings, to play the music according to your own needs. With TEFview, you can load, view and print tablature and sheet music, but the best part is that you can play it. The moral of this story boils down to simply taking advantage of the amazingly handy tools of Tabledit and it’s FREE sister program TEFView to help demonstrate the tablature’d arrangements to you visually and audibly.You may be able to read sheet music and play the song in your head, but it would be much better if you could actually hear the music. “Oh my!” responds the young man, “I never would have known!”… “Son, the car has a motor and a key to start it… It’s SELF-PROPELLED!”… ![]() “Pushing the car!”… responds the young man… “What are you doing?” cries the salesman… The young man and the salesman go out to the car and the young man puts it in neutral and starts pushing the car… “Please show me what you’re talking about, let’s go look at the car”, responds the salesman… ![]() “Wow”, the young man tells the salesman, “I had really hoped I’d be tooling down the roads in this beauty, but it turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth!” They come to an agreement and the young man gets the car.Ģ days later, the young man brings the car back to return it. This reminds me of a joke that hopefully will help drive the point of this post home:Ī young fellow goes into a car dealership and talks to a salesman about his first car purchase. When we can’t play by ear, we depend on our eyes and (tab) or (standard music notation) to help our fingers find the right path. Most of us, me included, prefer to play by ear. I’m not scolding anyone, just pointing out that Tabledit and TEFView (FREE) are magnificent programs and to use the PDFs (INSTEAD OF) Tabledit and TEFView is counter-intuitive when you’ve got all the power of the programs to help you. They could have listened to the MIDI playback via TEFView (FREE) or Tabledit and their questions would have been answered quickly…Įxplaining quarter notes, strum styles, correct fingering, etc., is nearly instantaneous when you let the program play it for you to hear… You also see the tab as it is being played, so that offers even more information.Īnd my explanations written out, in my own opinion, are nowhere near as good as you listening to the tab get played through TEFView or Tabledit… The questions asked could all have been explained had the individual downloaded the FREE version of Tabledit, which is TEFView from the Tabledit site. I’m not here to teach or explain, just arrange and present… I got an e-mailed request for a detailed explanation of a tab he/she purchased… So, if an individual downloads or buys tabs on this site and doesn’t use Tabledit to listen to the arrangement (MIDI), they are greatly defeating the purpose of this site for themselves. Get Tabledit or TEFView (It’s FREE sister program) – CLICK HERE… However, PDFs are secondary to Tabledit files where this site is concerned… I also post PDFs of most of the Tabledit (TEF) files because some folks find them useful… In other words, ALL tabs were worked out in Tabledit and are presented in Tabledit. This site is exclusively a Tabledit site.
