Beaming (grouping) notes

Let’s see how it’s possible to change the rules which define the way notes are beamed together in Tablatures.

Tablatures allows to change the beaming pattern on a per-bar basis. The pattern is defined in the Time Signature page of the barline properties sheet:

There you would enter the number of 8th notes to group together. In the example, you can see that entering 2 will result in groups of four 16th notes (which are equivalent to two 8th notes).

When you add a new barline, Tablatures will automatically copy the settings of the previous bar.

Tablatures 1.28

A new update for Tablatures has just been released.

This version adds support to read and save Unicode strings. This means that now you can use any character set you want (Japanese, Korean, Greek, etc…) and your texts won’t be mangled upon saving.
