Tabedit ?

Post by George Wixon »

I know that some of you use tabledit and my question is how do you enter in a 1/2 pedal change? For instance if I want to bring the 5th string up on the 3rd fret with the A pedal all the way I would enter it as 3A but if I only want to bring it up 1/2 way, how would I enter it? If I were writing it out in long hand I would write it down as 3A1/2 but I don't believe that is valid in tabedit.

I use a lower case A.

In Tabledit : CTRL H
Highlight a Letter you don't use, like N

Click "Edit Symbol" , input a.
Assign it's Pitch Change to 1 semitone.

Small and Capital A 's now mean different things.

George,

In Tabledit : CTRL H
Highlight a Letter you don't use, like N

Click "Edit Symbol" , type: A then hold down the Alt key and type 0189 and you will get A½.

Thanks for the tips guys. I don't use many 1/2 pedals in my tab, but it's good to know how to do that.
