Tablature editor

TEFpad is a tablature editor designed for the iPad that implements most features available in the TablEdit desktop program. It is also compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch. Just like TEFview for iOS, our free file viewer, TEFpad opens, displays, prints and plays all TablEdit files (.tef format). It imports as well many types of music files (ASCII tablatures, ABC files, MusicXML, MIDI, Guitar Pro, PowerTab...). In addition to this, TEFpad opens TabRite files and lets you create new tablature arrangements from scratch. The files you have created on your device with TEFpad can be edited and saved without any limitation. Warning: You can edit files not created with TEFpad or imported into TEFpad, but only the first 16 measures can be saved. Likewise the app does not allow copying the contents of one of these files into another .tef file. To get rid of these limitations, you can upgrade to TEFpad Pro (available as an In-App purchase). The .tef files saved with TEFpad can be opened and modified in the TablEdit desktop program that offers advanced capabilities not completely available in TEFpad. Please submit your suggestions and bug reports to http://www.tabledit.com/contact/feedback/ Specifications: - Open/Import TablEdit, ASCII, ABC, MIDI, Music XML, PowerTab, TABrite and GuitarPro files - Optical recognition of tablatures and scores (PDF or image) - Extracts TablEdit files contained in a zip archive - Display tablature and/or standard notation - English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Italian language support - Embedded Help (tap the info button in the top-right corner of the screen) - File manager with subdirectory management - Email files as attachment - PDF export.

The developer ignores iOS settings to disallow ratings requests and spams users with its own pop-ups begging for ratings. This willful disregard for user preferences is an automatic 1 star rating.

I love the immediate intuitive usability of this app, but wish the manual were easier to use. I would love a search function for the manual. We’re not all music pros, so simply trying to find how the special notation works is NOT obvious. I can see where and how to PUT in “D.C” and “al” and “Coda” and “Fine”, but to make them work on playback is another function… perhaps I am missing something obvious?? Otherwise, I love being able to score tablatures on my iPad with this app.

This tablet version isn’t incredibly intuitive, but that’s just a learning curve I suppose. What really bothers me is it says it supports a keyboard, but really you must use the virtual keyboard and the Apple Magic Keyboard is NOT supported. I was looking forward to this replacing my laptop for tab editing, but it’s awkward to use while I am also holding my instrument since I have to poke around on the screen. So there’s my biggest feature request. Until then I guess it’s back to pencil and paper.

Maybe because I use Apple iPad. But a lot of the promised features don’t seem to work.

TAB譜を作成するためにTEFpad Proを購入しましたが、改善してほしいところがあります。 TAB譜の「数字」と「テキスト」と「コード・ダイアグラム」を同時に入力できるようにしてほしいです。 現在のままだと、全ての弦に数字を入力したい場合はテキストやダイアグラムの挿入はできないです。 お願いします。

Depuis des années j’utilise tefpad pro, pour le banjo 5 cordes. Je n’ai rien trouvé d’équivalent pour IOS, tant au niveau création qu’au niveau compatibilité avec d’autres apps sur windows. De plus le concepteur est à l’écoute et n’hésite pas à mettre les mains dans le cambouis. Encore bravo!

Je n’arrive pas à trouver le slide avec note de départ du slide entre parenthèses. J’appuie sur la page blanche en bas à droite et j’efface tout sans le vouloir ... Le défilement n’est pas fluide..pas agréable La sélection n’est pas intuitive, on fait souvent des fausses manipulations. Cela fait que 2 semaines que je l’utilise donc je n’ai pas énorme de recul mais ce sont des choses qui sont agaçantes. J’ai constaté des problèmes d’affichage sur les chiffres des tablatures lorsque je mets en mode affichage. Continuez à l’améliorer, en tout cas merci. L’interface, les menus etc..c’est un peu triste et fade, au début ça fait pas envie.

Thank you to the developers for your response. It still took me some time to figure out how to get multiple instruments but now that I have the program works for my needs.

For some time now, TEFpad has recognized PDF tablatures. Now TEFpad also imports PDF musical scores. Double-tapping a bar line causes the Score window to appear. Some small bugs fixed
