nospam@example.com (Simone) — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:50:00 -0700

An update for Tablatures has just been released.

It's a maintenance release containing the following fixes:

Improved cursor movements.

If you add a time/key signature to a barline, the system is re-layouted to fit all the notes.

When editing a tempo marker, the BPM value wasn't updated if you closed the dialog while the focus was still on the tempo text box. Fixed.

Sometimes a key signature couldn't be changed. Fixed.

Updated the Apple Remote functions to support Leopard.

Other minor fixes.

Tablatures 1.5

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:30:00 -0800

A new release of Tablatures is available.

The most important addition in this release is a basic and experimental^* support for GuitarPro 3-5 files (*.gp3, *.gp4, *.gp5). GP tablatures can be read, but they will be converted to PowerTab when saved, keeping only the first two scores since that is PTB's limit.

^* this means that some files may not work. Feel free to report any problem you find.

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 12:37:35 -0800

Tablatures 1.4 is now available.

This release contains the same fixes applied to TabView 1.18, plus some options that have been requested:

Fixed a print problem that happened on Leopard when the print dialog was showing the page thumbnail.

MIDI export created unreadable files on several OS X versions due to a bug in a system function. A different way to perform the same operation has been implemented in order to work around the problem.

Added an option to choose the initial score (guitar or bass) that will be shown when loading a tab or creating a new document.

Added an option to automatically make time and key signatures visible when creating new systems.

Added an option to display bar numbers at every bar line.

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:51:00 -0800

Tablatures 1.2 has been released.

This version contains a series of fixes and improvements:

Editing performances have been optimized.

Keyboard shortcuts to edit rests have been added (r inserts a normal rest, R a multibar one).

Fixed the way accidentals are rendered.

Sometimes notes were incorrectly beamed together. Fixed.

Properly layout the bass score when loading a tab.

When opening a document, if the guitar score is totally empty, the bass score will be automatically displayed.

Bar numbers at the beginning of the system take multibar rests into account.

Added a keyboard shortcut to remove a position (shift + space).

When changing the time/key signature of a barline, Show is automatically checked.

Thanks to all the users that provided feedback on the previous releases.

Tablatures 1.1

nospam@example.com (Simone) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:56:38 -0800

The first update for Tablatures is now available.

It includes the following changes:

Added a Chord Dictionary. Apart from generating a lot of chord voicings, it also allows to add chord diagrams to the tablature.

Chord Diagrams can be removed from a tablature using drag'n'drop.

PowertTabEditor doesn't perform a full layout of the systems when loading a document. Tablatures now saves the result of its layout engine in the .ptb files so that they can be opened in PTE without being garbled.

Implemented the code behind the "Choose Tuning" button in the "Edit Guitars" sheet.

Also, stability has been improved.
