![]() ![]() Seriously, I'm trying to tab out my lap steel arrangement of Bud's Bounce and the biggest problem I'm having is trying to figure out the timing and how to notate it.Įven though it uses behind the bar pulls maybe I should tab it as if it used pedal pulls to sound right?Īndy, I would suggest doing lap steel tab in the standard 6 string guitar mode, i.e. This will allow you to put "bends" in the tab. You can then add in text telling the reader to pull the string behind the bar. The tab numbers would be on the lines in that mode however, not in the spaces, which makes perfect sense for 6 string anyway. Click HERE and check my arrangement of I'm Confessin' to see string pulls on lap steel. Try a simple "bend" and try a "bend and release". These are accessed in the SPECIAL EFFECTS box, under NOTES. Once you call up the SPECIAL EFFECTS box, you can re-access it by hitting "Enter". If you want to indicate a string pull in the tab, you will probably have to enter the fret number. Some of the special effects may not sound right in the MIDI, but they look right in the tab, or vice versa. I prefer have them look right in the tab. ) the easiest way, click on DISPLAY and then PALETTES, and then NOTES. This puts the notes palette on the screen and allows you to work faster. It's also helpful to keep the TOOLS palette on the screen too. From TOOLS you can enter Text and set up repeats, etc. It's a good idea to click on the Print Preview every once in a while to see what your creation will look like. There are many options available in the Print Preview section, like spacings and adding stems into the tab, etc. Have fun.Īlso - how are folks posting their. tefs here so that one can just click on a link to see the tab? Do you have to have a website with a refering url? It sounds like your asking if there's a an index of gifs. You need the Tabledit program to view and hear them. I don't see that as a problem since there is a FREE Tabledit viewer available for those that choose not to register. I have a link to the free viewer on that page. ![]() I can write an ASCII tab in Windows Notebook and paste it here in a Forum message. tef file on a server somewhere or is there a way to just attach it to my Forum message? My question is, if I write a Tabledit tab and want to post on the Forum, do I need to put that. It's a convoluted process! Here's an example:ġ. In Tabledit > "FILE" > "PRINT PREVIEW" > "EXPORT." > "PASTE TO CLIPBOARD AS BITMAP"Ģ. Upload that gif file to a web server somewhere.Ĥ. Insert that gif file into your forum message using the tags. (You can click on the Edit Pencil over this message to see how that is done.)Īll that work and your reader still can't HEAR it! That's why I think it best to just send a tef file to EBB or me. The only catch is the end user needs some form of Tabledit. A small price to pay, especially when the viewer is FREE. Thanks for a straight answer! I get it now. If I can ever get the timing right I'll send 'em to you. ![]()
