Sources for Tabs and Tab-Editors
|
My tab/sheet-collection consists of text and pdf files, the later ones compiled with
Musescore or LaTeX.
However, many people prefer special tab-editors, since those often offer a lot of features.
A widespread freeware tab-editor for Windows is Power Tab.
You might want to take a look on TuxGuitar, a
versatile tab-editor written in Java and therefor working on Linux, Mac and Windows.
