They are much easier to read and use these than it is the method used in TablEdit.
So far I haven't found a simple repeat/forward repeat/backward repeat character set. But there are things I find bothersome -Ģ. Performance wise, TablEdit functions well. Unfortunately "Printmusic" files can't be imported by most or all guitar/banjo tab software. It is more powerful and sophisticated than Tabledit. In order to provide the best possible sound reproduction, we recommend that you activate the " Extend Bends/Slides" and " First MIDI Instrument privileged" options in the " Advanced" options dialog.I use Printmusic for guitar tabs. It's really no less PSG-sounding than electric guitar and allows two consecutive whole notes to sound for their entire duration. It produces a nice, natural sounding, tremolo on playback without having to write it into the tab, making it appear "busy".
To change the pitch of a note, select the note in question and then select, set the MIDI instrument to either viola or cello. If you don't use the shortkeys as defined above, pedals and knee levers are emulated through the use of the " Pitch change" function. To include " Splits" in the copedent, create or rename a column as " A/2" for the half press of pedal A and another unused change as BRL to reflect the net effect of the changes associated with the " B" pedal and the " RKL" lever. " Splits" are defined as either t he half-press of a pedal or a pedal and a lever acting together so that the effect on a string is the sum of their individual effects. Once you have set the pitch changes so they fit your Pedal Steel, you can also create an empty template with the tuning and the pitch changes you want and then save this.If you want to create a new tune, just open this template and use Save As to save it with the appropriate name. They will allow you to transpose tablature or MIDI files created for other instruments into pedal steel tabs.īoth of these options are saved along with the *.tef file. These parameters have two, particular, points of interest: You can give your copedent a name in the bottom-left edit field. The drop down list allows you to select a standard copedent (E9th, C6th, Universal). Conversely when you remove the name of the penultimate column, the last column disappears. When you define a new name at the right of the header, the grid expands itself and a new column is created. You can define up to 15 different pedals/levers. Enter any alphabetical character in upper case and press the apply button. These hotkeys can be edited the same way as the pedal names. If you click the top left cell ("Name"), the header row displays the shortkeys to be used for quick entry. Press the apply button to save your entry. When you select a pedal name in an header cell (in blue), the current name is displayed in the edit field and can be edited the same way.You can enter any character string of a maximum of four characters.
The notes can be raised or lowered by up to three semi-tones. You can also type or to increase or decrease the value. When you select a cell in the grid, the current value is displayed in the editable field at the bottom of the dialog. The dialog displays a grid where you can define the effect of the pedals and knee levers for each string of your instrument. Select the Instrument Configuration button. The Copedent dialog can be accessed from the Instrument->Tuning tab. Select the " Module " tab then click on the " Pedal Steel Guitar " option.
