How to create a simple music sheet
Posted by: davemchine
Date: January 24, 2021 03:20PM
I often find a song on a website like [www.ukulele-tabs.com] , save it as a PDF on my computer, and then I want to make changes. Doing so is a labor of love in Preview or in GraphicConverter. Is there simple software for laying this out?

TextEdit.

Copy/paste from the original site. Use a Courier font and the spacing should be roughly correct.

With the format set to Rich Text, you can take a screenshot of the chord-shapes and drag-drop it into the top of the TextEdit document.

another vote for musescore.

I use Finale. Sibelius is the other major scoring software. Both are way more dense and complicated for your project.

Sarcany, the copy paste method worked very well. I found editing the text in Textedit was difficult though so I did it in Microsoft Word.

I think Musescore is probably more than I need at least for this project.

It doesn't use ASCII tab (i don't think. don't like it so i've never checked) but for chord/lyric sheets I have use ChordPro Buddy in my teaching practice for over 10 years.

ChordPro Buddy

As far as I can tell quickly checking it doesn't come with uke chords but you could probably use the Chord Editor to configure them. The most useful part is the ability to easily line up the chords over the syllable the chord occurs on and transpose with one click if you need to.

ChordPro Buddy looks like a great program. I bought it and played with it a little bit and really like it. Thanks for the tip.
