§354. Align tab music (30 juni 2026)

In Overig – #align #harmonica #harp #music #tab

Sometimes, properly aligning tab music in Word or any such program can be quite a pain. Mostly for my own use in playing harmonica songs, but free and open to anyone, I made a small webpage this morning that does just that: align tab music, or lines with notes and, if you want, words underneath.

For instance, if you enter the following part from Hey Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds (originally a Dylan song), you get a nicely aligned page of tab music.

C C B A G G E

Hey, mis ter tam bou rine man,

E E G E C

play a song for me.

C D E G

I’m not slee py

This space and/or tab separated text (an excerpt) is then turned into the following printable page.
