Hi all,
I just joined the forum. I've been working on my harmonica skills for a while and purchased a Ukulele some time ago and want to start practising.
To practise harmonica I wrote software to turn harmonica tabs into sheet music and let the computer play the song so I could play by ear. To enter the tab I can use the standard harmonica tab format (hole numbers) but also regular notes (C5, D5 etc).
Recently I started working on adding the option to show harmonica single note tabs as well. The app calculates those automatically. As I have no experience with the Ukulele just yet and I want to ask your help. The app TNT - Tab 2 Notes 2 Tab, is a free (no ads or anything) Windows application. It is available for download at www.harpbender.com. On there you will find TNT 3.0 Beta. The zip file includes everything you need to get started: the app and a bunch of tabs to try out. Just unzip in a folder on your PC and start TNT.exe. No need to run an installer. The app makes no changes on your PC, uninstalling is as as simple as deleting the folder.
The first time you run the app, Windows will show a warning as I did not certify myself as developer. (as I give away the app I don't make a lot of money ) Just click 'more info' and then 'run anyway'.
Open a tab file from the songs folder. Then go to settings to choose 3 staves instead of 4. This creates the room to show the Ukulele tabs. On the main screen you can now check to show the tabs.
My ask is if the app is helpful and if can improve anything? Just post a reply below. I very much appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Oscar
