TEFpad is a tablature editor designed for the iPad that implements most features available in the TablEdit desktop program. It is also compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch. Just like TEFview for iOS, our free file viewer, TEFpad opens, displays, prints and plays all TablEdit files (.tef format). It imports as well many types of music files (ASCII tablatures, ABC files, MusicXML, MIDI, Guitar Pro, PowerTab...). In addition to this, TEFpad opens TabRite files and lets you create new tablature arrangements from scratch. The files you have created on your device with TEFpad can be edited and saved without any limitation. Warning: You can edit files not created with TEFpad or imported into TEFpad, but only the first 16 measures can be saved. Likewise the app does not allow copying the contents of one of these files into another .tef file. To get rid of these limitations, you can upgrade to TEFpad Pro (available as an In-App purchase). The .tef files saved with TEFpad can be opened and modified in the TablEdit desktop program that offers advanced capabilities not completely available in TEFpad.

    The Best App for writing Tablature for me.
    I use this app for writing tab for bass guitar. I’ve tried other apps that offer similar functionality. None of them compare to the usability and completeness of TEFPad. There is a bit of a learning curve to get proficient with it. However, the more you use it the faster you get. I feel that there are some things that aren’t covered very well in the user guide. But I still give this app a full 5 stars. Do save your work in progress often, though. Also, the support from the developer is outstanding. Show more

    Not user friendly
    The app assumes you know all the musical terms necessary to compose a song. The help function is useless. It throws items on the tab by all by itself, without any explanation as to why, and there is no information to learn from. As an example, trying to match the format of a tab I found in a book, it required a “double line” at the beginning of the measure. I found it in the pallet, tried to add it, but it wouldn’t show up. However, it did randomly place double lines on two other measures in the tab. And now I can’t get rid of them. Oh, how about the app crashing when you print? That’s fun too. Glitchy…but its all we have. Show more

    Not so happy
    I was using the lite version and then when I went and upgraded, wow buggy, buggy, buggy. Audio quits playing so I have to restart the app; trying to add song info is very temperamental, adding pull offs to the first couple of notes gives me a tie that spans two bars. It’s a bit clunky as it is with the lite version, but workable. Now very frustrated with the upgrade. Should have stuck with lite. Show more

    Revised Review
    Thank you to the developers for your response. It still took me some time to figure out how to get multiple instruments but now that I have the program works for my needs. Show more

    Incredibly useful program
    This app is just amazing in terms of what it allows me to do with arranging and playing back music. I wanted an app that would allow me, for guitar, to arrange music that is most often played on keyboards. I also wanted an app that would allow me to keep my files local on my device rather than forcing me to work in the cloud. With support for tablature, this app is great for arranging for guitar but it does a lot more. It would be equally useful arranging for keyboard and seemingly for a band, though I have not tried to arrange for more than one instrument. It plays midi and includes a lot of instruments. It’s ease of use is comparable to other notation softwares I have used. I was hesitant to buy without the ability to check it out with a free trial. It turns out though that, for me, this light version of the program—even without available pro upgrades— is all I will need in a notation program for a long time. I’ll never have to turn on a computer. The help pages are deliberately succinct so there is some amount of trial and error involved in figuring out some features. Overall, however, it’s just a super app. Show more

    Great tool
    Help system needs to be improved to get the fifth star. So far search internet has found most of simple needs

    Love it!
    Provides everything needed to create tablature. I play the dulcimer and was looking for a way to edit or display tabs only. Simple interface and user friendly. One question though... How do I make the keys (example: DAD) display on sidebar instead of the word TAB?. They show in the preview, but do not export into the final print file. GREAT JOB! Show more
