"I use TablEdit for my ukulele. The strings are quite different from guitar but this program works well for it. Good value for money."

TablEdit and LilyPond
If you want to give the arrangments you created with TablEdit the typographical aesthetics of traditional engraved music, LilyPond export is for you.
The command { File -> Export -> Lilypond } allows you to create LilyPond files (.ly extension).
Then drag and drop the .ly file on the Lilypond desktop icon. A pdf file is automatically created by Lilypond.
The output of Lilypond is far from that of TablEdit as shown by the examples below.
For each example you can find:
- the original TablEdit .tef file
- the .ly generated by TablEdit,
- the pdf printed by TablEdit using PrimoPDF.
- the pdf generated by Lilypond from the .ly file.
Click on the icon
