The FIX for the lost NOTES letters like upper case V instead of note symbols....

Download powertabttf.7z from the bottom of the page at;

http://www.power-tab.net/guitar.php

then extract it, right click on it where you extracted it too (you should save it to a folder in your documents or downloads folder.

at this point make sure you have power tab shut down, not just minimized.

Once extracted you will have a file named;

powertab.ttf

if you right click on that file and choose install, then launch powertab and open a music file, now you should see notes instead of large letters.

Again, the program and the FONT used to draw notation on the staves are ll there at http://www.power-tab.net/guitar.php

Its always best to search for a song name and power tab at the end.

example search google for [imagine power tab] and read the url before clicking to be sure its a safe site to visit.

Enjoy tab tab and retab...I'll be spending a week here at re-tab,,,

i only get randum words when i input the tab,after selecting what note to input and in the music staves such as GVC. when i usualy use this program it shows ass rythen notes how do i change this back to notes rather than words

I cannot seem to get the BPM to stay changed and would love to loop. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to add a rhythm and fill section to the staff and tab lines???? thx, Steve

"Music Notes Not Displaying Correctly - The installer has a tough time on some machines getting the music font installed right (you'll see letters like "W" and "V" where music notes should be). It seems that it's not writing information to the registry that's required for the font to work right. The easiest way to get this to work properly is the old-fashioned/manual way. Goto the c:\windows\font directory, make a copy of the powertab.ttf font, store it somewhere (like the desktop), then delete the powertab font from the fonts directory. Now throw the copied font back into the fonts directory. It should automatically install the font properly on your machine."

I stole that explanation from this site: http://www.power-tab.net/getarticle.php?id=5
It works, so why not.

Is there a way to convert a Powertab file to Guitar Pro 4 file? This would be extremely helpful. Thanks

CASTILLE IS THE s**t

PowerTab Editor is a good software, but don't miss to take a look at tabplayer at www.simoneperandini.com/tabplayer.htm for a slightly different approach to the tab thing. tabplayer is free, so you may want to have it however.
=)
Have fun

I don't know how to work the zip it fast thing i downloaded. It unzips and then opens another window but i cant view the tabs. Any help would be great.
