Re: [Harp-L] Harp tab fonts

[Nicolas Fouquet <bbhcfr@xxxxxxxx>]

I do not use nor I like tabs so it might not be a very good software or it might be the best.
I can not tell. Just that people over here in france are pretty satisfied of it. That programm is making the tab for any kind of harmonica in any key, including chromatics in various keys... 
 
But go to that link and you will have the software for free.

Anyway, my question is, is there a program out there that really puts 
out a good note writning (musical staff) program that also has a good 
diatonic harp tab (including all the bends and overblows)? I have 
tried melody maker and the harp tab is very incomplete and lacks the 
range - i have also tried finale notepad but have trouble entering 
harp tab. Winslow or Glenn or anyone who has written a book that has 
harp tab under a line of musical notation please let me know the best 
way to do this as i really want to put together a book for my boys.

Russ:

I have designed various harmonica tab fonts. The one called Fletch 
Diatonic is available in Truetype format and can be used standalone 
in a word processor for simple one-line tab, or can be used 
as "lyrics" in a music notation program like Finale. Select Fletch as 
your font for lyrics, then use Verse 1 to write a line of tab. For 
each note you write a symbol that represents the hole (number) and 
breath (arrow) along with how many semitones the note is bent (if it 
is). Before or after the tab symbol you can place various symbols for 
things like tongue slaps, warbles, ways of approaching and leaving a 
note through bends, slurs, etc. Multiple-note chords and split 
intervals (and which holes are tongue-blocked) can be indicated on 
the lines for Verse 2, 3, 4 and so on.

If you like I could email you the user's manual and you can see the 
font, symbols set, keyboard layout, and determine if it suits your 
purposes.

Font is $10, delivered by email.

Winslow
