Thanks, Rocky! Finale was my notation software, like a million years ago. I liked it, and it's nice to know it uses tab in case the early music ones don't work out with my university. J

If you are already a Finale user, you might try that program’s tab options. All my tab scores are done on a Mac using Finale (see one of my Ning pages). David van Ooijen also uses Finale. It’s not particularly well set up to handle early music tablature, but I’m happy with the results and with the help of some customized fonts Finale handles most of my needs. There is a lot of control over appearance available if one digs in to the detailed settings. I can select and drag a system of tablature onto a regular staff system and it will convert it to notation, though if there are more than one note per “event” they convert to chards rather than separate voices. Finale can also convert notes on a staff to tab by selecting and dragging the notes from a staff system onto a tab system. — Rocky On Jul 20, 2017, at 12:29 PM, Nelson, Jocelyn <nels...@ecu.edu> wrote: > Thanks, Danny! > > > ________________________________________ > From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu <lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu> on behalf of > DANIEL SHOSKES <dshos...@mac.com> > Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2017 1:25 PM > To: Nelson, Jocelyn > Cc: Vihuelalist > Subject: [VIHUELA] Re: Notation software recommendations? > > I run Fronimo and Django on a Mac using VMware Fusion and it also is a good > solution. > >> On Jul 20, 2017, at 7:21 PM, Nelson, Jocelyn <nels...@ecu.edu> wrote: >> >> Thanks; I also see that the Fuenllana solos are there, which is great, >> but not the songs. >> >> Again, this is another designed for PC or Windows.
