Starting
with TablEdit for Windows
W31, W95, W98, ME, W2000, NT, XP, Vista
To install TablEdit, you'll need to run the tabled32.exe distribution file. This distribution file is a self-extracting archive and when you run it, TablEdit will be installed in a directory (or folder) called by default Program Files/Tabledit.
Keep in mind that this is a demo package with certain critical limitations. Namely, you can open and play *.tef files and modify the MIDI options to alter the sound you hear when you play the music but do not try to "re-save" the file when you're done listening to it. The demo version only saves 16 measures of tab, so you will lose most of what you had already downloaded. If you want to print the file, go ahead and explore the page options available, tab only, tab + musical stave, with or without chord diagrams, etc.
We are assuming, of course, that you have a sound
card and speakers hooked up to your PC. Nonetheless, the package
will work for viewing, printing, etc., without
these.
The latest TablEdit True Type font file (tef265.ttf) is automatically installed
at first-time installation of the program in order to allow correct display
and printout of musical symbols (clefs, notes, rests, codas, etc.).
If
the automatic font installation has been unsuccessful
you'll see rectangles displayed instead of the
G clef and rests. If this is the case,
use the Windows configuration panel to install
the font manually. Users of W95/98 and higher can simply
copy tef265.ttf to C:\\Windows\fonts (if you are authorized by the system administrator to do so).
The system will then recognize the font automatically.
Tip: In order to restore all of the default parameters,
simply start TablEdit while keeping the [shift] key held down.
