This is my first day on the forum as a member . I purchased clictab and Tabedit, now im trying to learn how to use both and having a time at that , can anyone offer some advice on these programs? As of right now im interested in 8 string non pedal , with some effort I seem to be able to take reg sheet music and enter it into tabedit and get a reasonable tab from it however I noticed the timing has to be right on and that's fine .I have a cd with about a half million midi and mp3 files on it all kinds of music however I cant seem to be able to get a file into tabedit , any ideas out there? thanks for looking .

| There are some help files that can be downloaded and added to Tabedit but I've never been able to get them to install. Tabedit has a steep learning curve. I've had it for several years and have never been able to write any tab with it. I asked for help from the seller and never received a reply so I went with Guitar Pro and have written several hundred tabs with Guitar Pro. I use Tabedit only for playing tabs that someone else wrote and it works for that. |

Trying to use Tabledit without a basic understanding of standard notation is, IMO, going to be a nightmare. This has been my experience with other "pro" tab programs that play back the tab - you can't get around knowing the basics. I really have to play close attention to my rhythmic values as I'm sort of lazy with the in handwritten tab. The good news is that vs hand tab, you can play the piece exactly as before without guessing the phrasing.
I really like tabledit - it does what I need.

| I can read standard sheet music a bit slow but I can still play from it on a reg guitar but not on a steel guitar. I also have guitar pro but I cant change tunings on guitar pro its only for standard guitar tuning , with steel guitar I need to be able to use c6 c13 b11 etc etc , that's why I got the clicktab and tabedit software. |
