So, it's basically a GUI for Wayne's tab. Cool. Hope there is a choice
to set the flags to only reappear when they change value.
I'd like to try the beta please.

Dear lute list members

interested to try it, please see further details below.
To get a better idea, you can see some LuteScribe screenshots here:

LuteScribe â a new community-based free software for reading and
editing tabulature
Lute tabulature files are a fundamental way for the lute community
to exchange music in our modern age. Existing commercial tools
exist, but alongside these there should be widely available
community tools to ensure tabulature can be created, read and shared
by the widest possible range of players, scholars and researchers.
LuteScribe is a new piece of software designed to allow the
graphical creation and reading of lute tabulature by Luke Emmet. It
runs on Windows (or on Mac/Linux via a virtual machine), and
provides a visual user interface to edit lute tabulature.
With it you can create new files or open existing lute tabulature in
two of the most common formats for lute tabulature, namely the TAB
plain text format or Fronimo FT3 files. A wide range of existing
tabulature files exist in online repositories and LuteScribe offers
another way to enjoy and build on this music.
Under the surface, LuteScribe works together with the long
established TAB software by Wayne Cripps which provides a wide range
of typesetting commands to create the tabulature. As a result,
LuteScribe can produce beautiful typeset output that can be saved as
PostScript, PDF or printed off for players. A major advantage over
the native TAB format is that LuteScribe shows the content in a way
that is familiar to lute players and can be easily edited.
LuteScribe is a community project and will be released as open
source software meaning that anyone can contribute changes, fixes or
enhancements.
Currently LuteScribe is in BETA, and feedback is being collected in
advance of the upcoming official release. Anyone wishing to test or
try out LuteScribe should send an email to:
[3]luke.em...@orlando-lutes.com for further details of how to
download the current beta version.
