I just upgraded from the demo version of Tabedit to the full version and while my rudimentary skill are working alright, I have a question for those of you who might be more well versed with the application. 



I'd some help with repeats and endings. 



As you most of you know, most banjo songs are in done in a AABB style, where you play Part A twice and Part B twice and usually there are two different endings to each part.


 


Right now, since I don't understand how to add repeats and endings, I am inputting Part A twice, each with a different ending and then adding Part B twice, each with the requisite different ending. 


 


I have downloaded preexisting tabs which have the appropriate repeats and endings, so I know what they look like and how they act, but I'm not sure how to add them to my music.


 


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest way to do this is to use the reading list.  for instance, if you have a 2 part tune with 8 measures in each part, the reading list would look something like this:



(01) 1-8



(02) 1-7



(03) 9-16



(04) 9-15



(05) 16



This will get you through the tune once, and will also enter the proper repeat marks and ending markings.

1. Select "Reading List" from the "File" menu or click the Reading List button in the "Tools" toolbar/
palette.
2. Set the "From measure" to 1 and the "To measure to 16, then click the "->" button to add it to the
Reading List on the right of the window.
3. Repeat step 2, setting the "From measure" to 1 and the "To measure" to 14.
4. Repeat step 2, setting the "From measure" to 17 and the "To measure" to 18.

I usually delete anything in the list first, then figure out what I want to add. It can be a bit tricky but soon you are good at it.
