THanks David for your reply, you're right, it was difficult to find in the manual...just figured it was the 'open source' thing, Having templates is a great resource, Randy On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at 10:39 AM, David Kastrup wrote: > "R.D. Latimer" writes: > > > I've put together a sample fiddle

HI David, Yes I agree with all you're saying. My motivation right now is I'm teaching some Fiddle classes to beginner types of students. I can read music fine. In this folk tradition many/most of the players play by ear, not by reading sheet music. I was thinking that a violin tab in 1st positi
