Blank Tab Paper

I created my tab in Excel, by altering the height of each line, and placing borders on four lines, to give me three spaces. From there, it was just a matter of copying that format, and pasting it down the page. It took a little tweaking to get the height correct, but worked for me.

I've used the one Angela mentions http://www.blanksheetmusic.net/

I usually write the numbers on by hand and prefer to write them in the spaces instead of on the lines, as many computer tabulature programs do.  So I'll often select  "4 string", "bass", or "mandolin" from the choices.  I've been able to create a sheet that only has the word "TAB" on the first staff, but can't seem to get rid of it altogether--I would prefer to use the tuning in that space.  With that site, once you've tweaked it just the way you want it, you can save it.

This might be good to post in the general forum or the Beginners Group, so people can find it in the future!    :)

The link Lisa points us to looks good to me.

 

Let me also suggest that you can alwasy download the free trial version of Tabledit, which lets you do digital tab up to 16 or 24 measures, I think.  You have to pay if you want more than that. But you can always just print out a blank page from that software.

Dan, could you send me that too? I've used a web site that prints out blank pages for tab but I would like to see what you have. I would prefer to type in the tab on the computer. Notes are another subject smile
