I may be breaking the rules a little by posting this here but I thought it might get a little more visibility. I hope that excuse keeps me out of jail.

Does anyone here have both these programs (1) TablEdit and (2) ClicTab, if so, could you tell me which you like better? I've got TablEdit but find it not at all user-friendly. I've essentially failed at using it. I'm thinking of getting ClicTab but need to know if its a more user-friendly program. Any info you could give me would help alot. Thanks.

Leila,
What sort of problem do you have with Tabledit?
I don't know the other program you mentioned, but I'm very happy with TE.
Maybe I can help.
Regards,
Nic

Nic,

Thanks for your offer to help but I think it would take a miracle. I tried to use TablEdit to tab out 6-string guitar music about a year ago and I had a lot of difficulty manipulating the music scores. It seemed it wanted to do what it wanted to do and I couldn't find a place on the tool-bar that allowed me to successfully do the things I needed to do, from adding notes/chords to moving measure bars. It wanted to negate all my moves. I had problems at every level.

I admit I didn't spend a great deal of time trying to figure it out but I was hoping for an easier time than I was having. I haven't had that kind of problem with any other software I've used. I finally gave up.

What I need to know is if ClicTab is more user-friendly, because I don't want to purchase another program that is not very easy to use. But I really do appreciate your offer to help me. Thank you very much!

Leila,
I own both programs, and I'd have to say that imho I find TablEdit to be a lot easier to use and tremendously more versatile. Like all software, the learning curve can be tough to beat, but some time spent with the docs and the tutorial walkthru on the tabledit page should serve to get you up to speed.

regards,

Larry sums it up the best.
For some of my numbers, I managed to convert the tef files to *.doc files for a real neat printout. Good luck.
