The following table show the input and output for each program:
| PROGRAM | INPUT | OUTPUT |
|---|---|---|
| tabmusic | Parameter File containing tune in TN | Parameter File containing tune in CMN |
| musictab | Parameter File containing tune in CMN | Parameter File containing tune in TN |
| showtab | Parameter File containing tune in TN | PostScript file of tablature, suitable for printing |
The programs should run under Windows. To run a program, click on the program filename (e.g. `tabmusic') (which will open a dialogue box) and reply with the name of the parameter file (e.g. `foggy.tab') when prompted.
Please note that the program `musictab' may take quite a time, especially for a few pages of music.
If you are interested in numerical algorithms, the `musictab' program uses the method of `simulated annealing' (for a good description, read the book `Numerical Recipes').
