TabView overview

TabView makes it possible to view and print PowerTab tablatures.

PowerTab is a well-known and widely adopted tablature editor for Windows systems, now available on your Mac! You can easily find thousands of song transcriptions in this format on the Net.

With TabView you can also export your tabs in MIDI format, or follow the playback on screen to help your learning process.

What's new in version 4.0

The main change in this release is a brand new sampled-instrument audio engine:

Playback

New sound engine using real instrument samples (SoundFont), replacing the old MIDI synth.

Live control

Mute/unmute tracks during playback — no restart needed.
Switch the visible score while playing; the cursor follows.

Export

Render your tabs to WAV or AAC audio, alongside MIDI.

Import

More accurate Guitar Pro (GP4-5) import.

No stars, this isn't a review. MacUpdate seems to have removed the "comment" feature, so this is just to note that if all you use are PowerTab files, this could be your Mac solution. However, I use the free TuxGuitar, which opens PowerTab, Guitar Pro, TableEdit and LilyPond files, as well as MIDI (import and export).

Hey, Thanks for making this application, it seems to work well from my initial impressions.Pretty amazing, I wish that it could export the midi it generates into a file for garageband to use. It rocks!
