![]() And when there's a conflict between the selected note value (place your cursor on it and see what's highlighted in the Note Palette) and the position within the measure, TablEdit will flag a duration error and color the note red. TablEdit uses the note spacing and placement in each measure for its timing information, so you can't place quarter notes just anywhere you like. Why don't you just use the file I corrected for you, I wonder, instead of persisting with the flawed one?įWIW, TablEdit will often attempt connect quarter notes with beams (in 4/4), even if the note values are WRONG to start with, because you placed those quarter notes at the eighth-note positions within the measure. Did you load my file into TablEdit and look at it? You shouldn't have seen any red notes! Your post #5 still has lots and lots of red notes, and so I don't know what you based it on - nor what you might have done wrong. I already fixed all the red notes (duration errors) for you in the file I that attached for you in post #4. I'm not sure quite what to make of your last two messages. ![]() And I think the answer to my second question is that you can't just arbitrarily make any given note pink or orange or red or whatever. I think this is just another one of those quirks with TablEdit. And I don't know how you got most of the red notes to turn black without deleting them and re-entering.Īnyway, I can live with red notes one way or the other. But deleting them and then putting them back seems to work. Sblock, I still don't understand how those notes got to be red to begin with because I can't find any duration errors in original file. put the note back by hitting the enter key if you are in the music staff or by entering the fret number if you are in the tab staff. hit the delete key to replace it with a rest.Ĥ. make sure the duration value button for the default note duration is set to the duration value of the note where the cursor is.ģ. I found a way to get the red notes back to black -Ģ. Last edited by sblock Nov-06-2019 at 7:17pm. Otherwise, it's all the same notes as the original tab. I also fixed one or two small remaining duration errors. So I fixed that, too, in the tab & notation. Finally, "Red-Haired Boy" is a modal tune in the key of A, so it has only two sharps, and not three (the F note is natural). Also, the original transcription used a guitar capoed on the 12th fret, rather than a mandolin module, to get the right GDAE notes. This makes the tab a whole lot shorter! All the red notes that you saw before (all duration errors) have been expunged, too. I fixed that redundancy using TableEdit's "Reading List" capability. The person (Shartel?) who first transcribed it didn't use repeats for some reason (don't know why) for the A and B parts, which each get repeated, as usual in a fiddle tune. Here you are, HonketyHank! I fixed a number of errors in the tab you referenced above. They can be fixed by adding rests, correctly selecting note values, changing time signatures, and so on. I don't recommend doing that, though, since duration errors (except for the use of ringing notes) are genuine musical errors that require correction. You can easily turn duration error warnings off by selecting File|Options|Screen|Duration Errors - just uncheck the red box. Applying this effect may also cause the note to turn red, since (strictly speaking) it might ring beyond the measure it's in, or beyond the next note to be performed. Sometimes, however, folks will use the TablEdit instruction to let a note "ring" (an 'R' with bars above and below it). If your tab has lots of red notes displayed, then the person who wrote that tab almost certainly did some things wrong, because the measures are formed improperly! That's because the total time for playing that measure is now too long: you've added the equivalent of a 1/16th note to the measure. For example, if you have a measure of 4/4 filled with exactly 8 eighth notes, and you decide to tell TablEdit place a dot on one of those eighth notes, then the note will turn red. TablEdit colors notes red as a warning when the measure they're in contains one or more DURATION ERRORs.
