Bass Tab Creator 2.58 (Bass) B A S S T A B C R E A T O R =============================== Copyright (C) 1991 by Mario D'Alessio Version 2.58 All Rights Reserved The Bass Tab Creator is a program designed to help create bass tablature. It was originally created to facilitate the reproduction of tab published in many music magazines and books. It takes as input a file consisting of note information, and builds the tab staffs. For example, if the original tab looked like this: String # q q e e s s e 4 +----------------+ 3 |--4-5-6---------| 2 |--------7-5-5-5-| 1 +----------------+ the user enters the following information into the input file: 3 4 q 3 5 q 3 6 e 2 7 e 2 5 s 2 5 s 2 5 e The program reads the input file and recreates the original tablature. In the above examples, the letters above the tab represent the note durations (q=quarter note, e=eighth note, s=sixteenth note). Many string tricks are also supported (such as slides, bends, etc.), and other things like new time signatures, chords, triplets, and repeat markings.
