General Discussion / Convert Violin score to Viola score?
I'm sure that this is dead easy, but darned if I can figure it out.

Say I have 4 violin notes on a staff (Treble)... G D A E ( the open strings on a violin).
I want to convert the staff to the equivalent on a Viola... C G D A with an Alto clef.

thanks from an OLD newbie  :)

General Discussion / Re: guitar tablature notation
Hi guys,
I thought that I would bring you up to date. I decided to purchase "Guitar Tab Maestro". It does way more than I need at this point, but it's only 25 bucks from their website... so I'll give it a try.

Printed music not quite as nice as LilyPond, but acceptable and their built in MIDI player sounds better than the default players.

now, back to the manual
cheers

Hi Rick,
Thanks for that input... it's kinda what I'd guessed. :-(

I think that I had better focus on one of the "guitar specific" proggies... they all do that function.

Hi guys... thanks for the responses;

Flurmy,
I have installed TuxGuitar and it seems to do what I want, except:
1) the font they use is absolutely AWFUL... unreadable when printed
2) it hasn't been updated since 2009 and seems to be dead
3) their forums seem to have been closed in July 2012

Warren,
I am beginning to study classical guitar and I'm not particularly interested in chords and chord diagrams at this time.

Phil,
Yes, I've had LilyPond on my PC for many years, but unless they have made major changes in the past 6 months, or so, data entry is done with a text editor into an ASCII file which is then processed by LilyPond.  It is NOT intuitive :-) I've never looked at their Tab output but their standard staff output is, without a doubt, the "gold standard" once you work your way through the intricacies of the data entry. Thanks for the prompt though... I will go back and check it out.

William,
I'm not looking for something like that. I want to be able to enter notes on a staff and have the staff and the resulting tablature displayed.


If NWC cannot do it then my "current" preference is Progression2 from Notion Music... but I'm still evaluating... Musink, MuseScore, Guitar Tab Maestro etc, etc

Progression2 - http://www.notionmusic.com/products/progression2.html
Musink - http://musink.net/ free, but don't yet know if it does Tabs
MuseScore - http://musescore.org/ free, but don't yet know if it does Tabs
Guitar Tab Maestro - http://www.guitartabmaestro.com/guitar-tab-maestro.html
Guitar Pro 6 - http://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php
LilyPond - http://lilypond.org/web/index.html
TuxGuitar - http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/

thanks again
Don

Bump...

this topic is about 15 years old :-)

Does anyone know if Tablature is in the future plans for NWC ?

If not, what other software choices are there?  Guitar Pro 6, TablEdit etc

General Discussion / Re: Newbie question... triplets and other xxxlets
Thanks everyone,

Warren, I found your posts on n-tuples. Thank you! It think it will help, but as fitzclan says... they are a nightmare.

I'm am still very new at all this so I guess I'd better just work on a fragment until I get it right. I'm still struggling with this visible/invisible thing so that's not really intuitively obvious to me either :-)

David thanks for the idea of "invisible rests"... I'll try that.

thanks

General Discussion / Newbie question... triplets and other xxxlets
Hi,

I'm very new to this.. in fact this is my first post here.

I've entered a few very simple tunes in NWC 1.75 and decided to have a go at something a little more "challenging". This morning I started on Beethoven's Op.33 No.1 "Seven Bagatelles". It's in 6/8 time.

In the 5th bar I come across a sequence like this... 6 x 1/16 notes beamed... 2 x 1/16 note triplets... OK so far, that's 5 beats... and then there are 5 x 1/32 notes beamed that take the final beat in the bar and are marked with a small 5 under them. Is this a "pentuplet"? How do I handle this? It's totally messed up my bar alignment.

thanks in advance
Don
