The left hand basses and chords are played on the two bass strings both tuned in C(1). The Instrument-> Tuning function allows you to obtain a tablature adapted to your keyboard. Then use the "Instrument Setup" button to access the dialog box that allows you to: First select the predefined tuning "Chroma Accordion". choose the number of rows (from 3 to 5)Į nter the note that corresponds to the first button on the first row (from the top of the instrument). ![]() The instructions for entering notes on a diatonic accordion apply to the chromatic accordion except that the discussion about the rows and the push/pull direction is irrelevant.Ĭlawhammer banjo - Mountain Dulcimer - Strumstick choose the progression from the four available (Glorion, Italian (standard), Bayan, French)įrom this tuning, TablEdit is able to automatically recognize the instrument as a chromatic accordion and to convert the notes of the notation staff into a perfectly legible tablature. TablEdit recognizes these instruments as a function of the number of strings and the tuning used (the bottom string having the highest pitch). ![]() Having been recognized, TablEdit manages all of the peculiarities of these instruments automatically, including the diatonic capo for the dulcimer. Regarding the clawhammer banjo, the 5th string can be assigned a special capo. Use for this purpose the " Capo 5th" under normal capo. This partial capo has no impact on the notation stave unless the option " Pegged to main capo" is checked. In this case, the 5th string capo works as an extension of the basic capo. For example, if the main capo is set to 2 for the four first strings, the 5th string capo is automatically set to 7. Like with a full capo, the pitch of the notes on the five strings would be increased by two semitones, the tab numbers would not change and the advanced option " Capo doesn't impact Notation" would work as usual. Tip: In order to force TablEdit to display the tablature using a diatonic fingerboard, simply enter " Dulcimer" as the instrument name. To create a tablature for dulcijo, a tree string banjo/dulcimer combo that looks as a small banjo, simply enter " Dulcijo" as the instrument name Conversely to manage a chromatic dulcimer, just change the name of the module to prefix it with " Chroma". This instrument has specificity except one: if the name of the module starts with "Banjo", the chord position is not displayed on the top left of the chord diagram but to the right of the first fretted string. To create an hammered dulcimer, you have to use the "Custom Tab Instrument" tuning. You will then be able to define in the Custom Tab Instrument configuration dialog the courses and the bridges of your instrument. ![]() The Renaissance lute, which has anywhere from eight to twenty-one strings, is always tabbed out on a grid consisting of seven strings and, generally, using the notation "a=0, b=1, c=2". The first six strings are completely non-specific. On the other hand, the 7th string, all on it's own, represents all of the instrument's bass strings starting with the 7th, itself.įor example, //a indicates that the 9th string (7+2//) is played open, a simple 6 indicates that the 13th string (7+6) is played open, etc. TablEdit applies these rules as soon the instrument has seven or more strings with the 7th string tuned to G#, A or F#.īy default, the lute tuning obtained by use of the pre-defined tunings is for a thirteen string lute in A.
