Overview
is a tablature editor for a large variety of string instruments, including guitars, lutes, mandolin, violas, citterns, bandoras, and others.
In depth
You can edit tablature in WYSIWYG format, and play the pieces you are editing directly from the position of the cursor.
You can input tablature in a variety of ways. The most common method is to position the cursor where you want the note to appear and simply type the letter or number you need. It includes a chord finder and note finder utility plus a standard chord toolbar giving you all major and minor chords in first position in any tuning. You can also input tablature by using the keyboard tool.
StringWalker also automatically converts tablature to mensural notation (or "round notes"). Five main clefs are supported including G8 clef (guitar style), piano style, bass clef, and two C clefs.
You can save a complete document to a MIDI file, or import MIDI files. Several pieces can be included in one document, either sequentially, or in duet, trio or quartet mode.
Other features include instant replay, Web publishing, PostScript publishing, full page display with automatic scrolling while playing, automatic transposition, conversion of tablature from one instrument to another, historical fonts support for lute music, import/export from and to MIDI format, and more.
