TabView enables Mac users to view and print PowerTab tablatures, a commonly used tablature editor for Windows. With countless song transcriptions available in this format online, TabView increases accessibility for all musicians.
One of the best features of TabView is the ability to export your tabs in MIDI format, which makes it incredibly easy to share your music with others. The playback function is another valuable tool for learning, as it allows you to follow along with the music on screen. This feature is especially useful for those who are just starting to learn how to play an instrument and need some extra guidance.
TabView is also an Universal Application, which means that it is compatible with both PPC and Intel based Macs. This is great news for those who have recently upgraded their computers or are thinking about doing so in the near future. With TabView, you can rest assured that you will be able to continue using your favorite tablature editor, regardless of the type of computer you own.
In summary, if you are a fan of PowerTab and want to be able to use it on your Mac, TabView is the perfect solution. This software is user-friendly, versatile, and compatible with all types of computers. So, give it a try today and take your music to the next level!
