TabIt
|
Tablature is a system for writing down music that is played on stringed instruments such as the guitar or bass. In tablature, there is one line for each string on the instrument. The bottom line corresponds to the lowest string; the top line corresponds to the highest string. Numbers indicate which frets are to be played, with the exception of zero (0), which means the string should be played open.
Much like a text editor, nearly all editing in TabIt is done with the keyboard. The arrow keys are used to move the cursor, and numbers are entered using the normal number keys on the keyboard. In TabIt, the spacebar is used to a delete a number under the cursor. (Refer to the Keyboard Commands help topic for a list of more editing keys that you may use.)
TabIt uses a "ruler," which can be seen at the top of the editing window, to determine the length of each note. The long lines represent quarter notes, the medium-sized lines represent eighth notes, and the shortest lines represent sixteenth notes. So for example, if you were entering a quarter note, you would type in the number, then press the right arrow key four times, so that you arrive at the next long line on the ruler.
